Yes, but perfect people are unacceptable because they must be from alien civilizations. And the imperfect are unacceptable because they are, well, imperfect. Circling, circling, circling ... those buzzards just keep circling.
You forgot the “likes and you knows” ;)
Outside of this thread, just in general, can anyone live up to the perfection/ideal? Has anyone, ever?
Just talking about this family...a decent family, good family. They’re not on welfare. No one is paying their expenses (I assume). This parent has a teen who had sex, certainly not something we want our kids to have(even those of us who remember what it was like to be a teen). Is she (and him) a bad parent because their teen had sex? I don’t think so. I didn’t have sex as a teen, college student (virgin when I got married but my husband wasn’t...does that make him a bad person?).
I don’t want my kids to make mistakes. Certainly not this kind of mistake. But if one of them did, so be it. We’d deal with it.
