Tomas, who do you have on "foe" status?! I don't get it. I always like to see what my enemies are doing so I can step on their heads from time to time.

With six grown "children" out on their own it was a learning curve and each have their own predilections to deal with. On a personal level, there are a couple of them (now) that I wouldn't care to be around on a regular basis but when creating children just go with natural instinct and do the right thing.

We still foster parent but only kids, whatever the reason, from newborns to about age 7. Any older and they are pretty much set in their ways and "crowd control tactics" must be used, gentle persuasion is still a given with the younger kids though.

I'm not getting your ignorance comment. Please expand.

A while back a father microwaved his own baby apparently because his wife told him to.
Recently a couple inserted 42 sewing needles into the body of a young boy.

I ride with cops, Sheriff, Highway Patrol on their shifts 5-6 times per year. See that on a regular basis.

It doesn't exactly mean best parenting does it?
