Tim and I were talking about this stuff last night! I work with low income families in our community. I have taught parenting classes 1 to 2 times a week on top of my daytime job. I have now got a promotion and will be doing social work with our families in the community. It frustrates the hell out of me to see no discipline and or rules going on in alot of families! Children NEED discipline and or rules and or boundaries. Children NEED to have a PARENT, not a friend! Parent's need to stop trying to be their children's friend and be a parent. Little girls NEED to have or know they have their father’s acceptance and or approval...when they don’t...they grow up and marry the wrong kind of guys most of the time! Little boys NEED to have a mother who is nurturing and caring! When they don’t, they end up with the wrong kind of women when they get older! This is all my opinion both personally and professionally:)

I have 2 boys whom I love to the end of the earth. I nurture them when they are sick and nurture them just because...I set rules and or boundaries for my boys because I made a promise to myself that it would be a cold day in hell before I would set the path for my boys to become juvenile delinquents!
