Parenting by UN resolution?

Parenting by UN resolution?... is no parenting at all.

Just another way to undermine western society. All about making you feel guilty for doing the right thing.

Once the child is strapped in you can do the warm fuzzy stuff, "this plane's pretty scary, huh?", etc.

What ever happened to the idea of doing the hard things first and fast, getting the pain over with instead of dragging it out until it's 10 times as bad as it would have been in the beginning? Seems to happen constantly. Must be that refusal to take responsibility until things are almost beyond repair, or worse.
