If you ever wondered what it would be like to grow up in a house with a liberal loon for a mother, here you go.

"I’m also not above wrapping up items like a coveted shampoo and conditioner"

Egads.

Lots and lots of “I”s in this person’s rambling.

She sure thinks highly of herself, doesn’t she?

Now that they are adults, I buy sets of sheets, towels, perfume, cologne.

Narcissism seems to be an intrinsic part of liberal/millennial life.

You’d think that 0bama wrote it. Or one of his hack speechwriters.

I hope her kids give her a very small thank you note written on used toilet paper suitable for recycling.

” The rainbow pattern”

There you go: raising her kids to be gender confused and ripe for the picking of the first homosexual.

Actually, once you get past the hippy-dippy crap, she has very sound and substantial principles for gifts — backpacks with essentials for outdoor activities, hikes, swimming, and exploration plus books to nurture a love of reading.

Our gifts to our kids were often along the same lines — in fact, they still are. We are doing family snowshoeing at Christmas. I bought our oldest daughter (now 33) and boyfriend a couple of great books about Western National Parks. They love hiking and backpacking. I got my daughter a great ball cap to commemorate her backpacking of the entire length of the John Muir Trail in the Sierras.

Our other two kids, both younger, have similar interests. Our time taking them outdoors and boating, camping, serious hiking, biking, horseback riding, etc instilled a love of the outdoors in them.

Kudos to the mom who wrote this article. She’s on the right track with her kids and instilling a love of country in them, too(she’s a “nationalist”).

Shampoo is a coveted item because it’s so rarely found in a liberals home.

along with the ever elusive soap and deodorant

She sounds just like my step daughter in law. She “gifted” them. Puh-LEAZE... The pretentious acts of progressive robots. BTW: I recently received a photo of them (mom and two daughters) attending some kind of women’s rally in Seattle. They looked so precious in their pink pu$$y hats. NOT. They looked ridiculous. Pink pu$$y hats and pearl necklaces. WTH is THAT about??!

as a kid, i always considered it a total gyp to get “presents” that were stuff that was bought for us on a daily basis anyway ... the WORST of those kinds of “presents” were always tube socks ...

One of the fun things about Christmas is the loads of wrapping paper the cats play in. The loon has no idea the fun it can be.
