I always assume that people that read these books are either nervous wrecks, or people that have not hung out with kids since they were kids. Or both.

Scary to think that so many of you are parents. I hope your children at least learn to respect all life, and don't become serial murderers / meat eaters like most of you.

Wondering how many of you are awful clueless parents claiming to be doing just fine. I'm sure the affluenza teen's mom thinks shes doing just fine. The Stanford rapist's dad seems to think so too. No one actually admits that their doing a ****** job raising their kids.

I wish someone told that Stanford rapist's dad that their son will get the same 20 minutes of treatment. See what he says then.

Plenty of dumb parents out there.

Plenty of great ones as well.

I don't think mine were voracious readers leading up to my birth.....I've never asked about it, really. But they did a fine job getting me this far. :laugh:

One book I highly recommend is Go The **** To Sleep by Adam Mansbach.
There will be many, many days you will want to say this out loud.

The rink ..too often
Mine weren't/aren't perfect and I'm not either, but then no one is. People are generally a product of their environment and with some exceptions the apple generally doesn't fall too far from the tree.

In my personal and professional experience, smart parents raise smart kids and idiots raise idiots. R.soles raise r.soles; and so on and so on. You can't choose your parents which is a real shame unfortunately, because some kids have a hell of a lot better prospects in life than others, regardless of socio-economic standing.
