So true. Just think how great things would be if everyone listened to us!
all we can do is parent our own kids. i at least feel confident that my kids are able to spot irresponsible parenting going on around them. my 17 yo drove herself to school today for the very first time. her friends parents attitudes is: as soon as you have your license, i am done taking you anywhere, you can drive yourself. i told her that it was selfish and irresponsible of those parents, who were only interested in not being inconvenienced by driving their kids places and they wanted to get back to their OWN lives. i told her that she is lucky that her father and i don't HAVE LIVES and that we live to parent her, and her two siblings.
