Behavior and attitude of modern teens, particularly girls by
HiC
I do substituting in public schools. I get the impression that teens
seem different today. Besides the whole pants around the ass,
shuffling ghetto attitude, I'm struck by the attitude and comportment
of a large number of teen girls - what nasty, surly, outright

We'd like to have the option of having the Bug (4.5 y/o) present at

involved in her life, would be at the hospital as the designated Bug

appropriate. But of course I wouldn't...

contradicting your spouse in front of your kids by
bizby40
Hi everyone,
I know that one of the cardinal rules of parenting is that you
never contradict your spouse in front of your kids. But what
