For parents, kids must be Job One
Q: How come you never seem to get on anybody's case about their morals? It's not just you – "anything goes" is now generally the way of the world. How many more slutty, stupid, knocked-up girls are you going to send to "counselling" and how many more deadbeat, lowlife, shag'em-and-run dads are you going to let off as a lost cause? What's wrong with standing up for the idea that once you've got kids, there are no more "boyfriends" or "girlfriends," no more sleepovers or casual get-togethers with strangers moving in and out of a kid's life? What's wrong with telling these folks that they're rotten at making choices and are, therefore, prohibited from making any more? Just Curious A: While you'd rather lock the barn door after the horse is gone than lead it to safety, I take a different approach.
