In reply to: Tf 's message, "It's more important than ever to teach kids respect for other's property but also empathy for others. Every day. My kids are both in middle school now and all my long winded lectures actually did some good:) It's hard,though. I think a lot of parents think their kids are born knowing right from wrong. I also think many parents think that if you can get away with something that's wrong but will benefit them, it's okay to do it. Their children will likely turn out the same way." on 10:32:11 03/24/02 Sun

[> [> [> [> The problem is, too many parents do not want to take the time to teach their kids what is right. Too many people are worried about their own lives, and worry more about how good they look for dressing their kids in designer clothes and throwing expensive parties rather than teaching them values. A child's behavior is a much better indicator of how good a parent is. Also, some try to teach their kids, but set a bad example. -- CC, 11:15:46 03/24/02 Sun

That's why women like Kelly Ripa(I only pick on her specifically because she's on tv) bug me. I think a lot of women watch her and think Kelly's the modern mother.The way to be. Last week I flipped Kelly on for about a minute and she was talking to a woman on the phone. The woman said she was married, worked full time, went to school at night and had two young children. Kelly said something about how busy she must be and the mother on the phone said something like, 'No, you're the one who does so much, Kelly.' And Kelly said, 'Oh, thank you so much.' It was meant to be a compliment but I thought they both sounded stupid, especially Kelly, who has made running around like a chicken with her head cut off the new 'level of achievement' to aspire to.

I do think a lot of parents have to be away from their children more than they want to be out of necessity. What I'm ranting about is the many who do it by choice.
