super parenting advice... which now reminds me of a conversation I had with my son last night. He had to read The Scarlet Ibis and was doing some homework regarding similes, metaphors, personification, symbolism and for each one of these, he had to draw an illustration from reading the story. My kid (much like his mother) is a terrible artist... he was drawing stick people and in the end when Doodle is dead and Brother is holding him, my kid had drawn these stick people and it looked like Brother was blowing little dead Doodle... so I (naturally) told my kid that and now he is ashamed of being a pornographer....

Looks like we took the same parenting class.

I must be a horrible parent. I still have a parental lock on anything R and above and they have to ask to watch something that's an R. Though i should probably remove that and just have the porn blocked because I really don't deny letting them watch whatever they want. Except the porn. If they want to see porn they have to sneak and do it on their phones...which they do. At least the 160yo does, the 12yo hasn't discovered it yet.

If this is what she wants to do, fine. It's the way she comes across, like it is some royal fucking edict, and if the rest of the world isn't doing it, then they are major failures.

I for one, would love to ask her, "Do you think Apple's feet will be as large as yours, Gwynnie Sasquatch?

**dksnj** · September 18th, 2012, 02:57 PM

Can't wait til Apple and whateverherson'snameis rebel

Moses. I have no idea why I know that.

**Sarzy** · September 18th, 2012, 03:18 PM

She's insufferable.

**czb** · September 18th, 2012, 03:22 PM

i dunno, i expected worse. as in, 'i only let my precious snowflakes watch tv in french and spanish after they've done their homework in ancient etruscan translation.' or something like that.
