[Libloather]

Big Media chimes in. Where to begin. I ridicule, humiliate and embarrass my kiddo at every turn. It makes him a man. I totally look forward to doing it to the grandkids. (Open season?)

Thou Shalt Respect Your Children’s Choices

Nope. Not gonna happen. Barney gets the boot.

On the bright side, Big Media recommends the 10 Commandments of something.

MSN and MSNBC are not the same thing.

[Libloather]

Is that good to know?

[lurk]

Missing from the list, turn their hearts toward God and spank the slobbers out of them.

Respect their decisions? Pfft. Only if they’re right. If they’re being willful and foolish and prideful, it’s time for some cleverly worded derision with a soft voice, a verbal fastball right in the ribs.

[Berosus]

Aren’t these the same people who think the government can be a better Dad than we can?

[Vermont Lt]

I respect that they may make decisions. That’s fine. My kids have learned to live with their decisions. I respect that.

But if they decide to become a transsexual traitor in the Army...pretty sure my respect bucket would be empty on that one.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I don’t know, I’m just sayin’.

[Viennacon]

My son commits adultery, or becomes an addict, he’ll have lost my respect. Screw MSN.
