<Their rooms are disasters. The maid is horrified-- her children's rooms are perfect. But I
strongly believe that kids need a space that is theirs.>

I KNOW that almost all child psychologists recommend this approach to children's rooms, but I have never quite understood why it would ruin a child's psyche to insist they clean their room once every week, giving particular emphasis to wet towels on the floor, pathogens growing on food, and getting the dirty laundry out so that it can be washed.

My insistence on an occasional hour spent accomplishing these goals goes only that far, though. I would never read anything private, or do any kind of a search. It is just simply to avoid a visit from the Health Department.

All bets are off if I suspected drugs. We would go see some ugly stuff like Capp street if a girl (end of the road for drug addicted hookers)
maybe a trip to San Quenton (I'm sure they have a scared straight program there) for a boy. Drugs had a sort of allure when I was growing up but it was just weed then. Crack and Mexican Heroin is not even a distant cousin. Drugs would really really scare me these days.
