With your hang ups you are right- you wouldn't want me for a mother. But if you were a normal intelligent person you'd be fine with me as a mom.

And you are way off base with your "if it feels good do it" thing. While I support the rights of people to do what makes THEM happy- because I don't believe I have the RIGHT to interfere in other people's lives, I think I have every right to direct my own children. I just am not the kind of control freak that I need to do it for the rest of the world. Apparently you are.

I expect a great deal of my children, morally and intellectually. They please me greatly. My children are far superior to many children I meet. I see a great deal of sneakiness in other children- especially in the children of parents who are repressive. Repression breeds resentment and insurrection. One of the worst behaved girls we know is the child of very religious parents who must be absolute idiots. Every time I've checked out the story this girl has given my daughter- for where they are going, what's going to happen there, etc- I've found her to be lying. And what is really funny- her parents are always the last to know.

This Halloween Sarah asked my daughter to go trick or treating- "would there be an adult along" I asked. "Oh yes, Brittany's mom" said Sarah. Well I called Brittany's mom- she wasn't going. The kids didn't want her along, she said. So I wouldn't let my daughter go. Some sadness as a result- but I told her that even more important than having an adult along, was not being around people who LIE. "Because, " I sternly cautioned her "you don't want to grow up and be like Ron Reece, do you now?". Thus chastened she went up to her room, to reflect on the horrible fates that can befall a young person when they choose the wrong path.
