All the dipsticks in the commercial are doing is undermining each other's authority and teaching the kids to play their parents off each other and be manipulative shits who have no respect for them.<br /><br />If you're in a different dimension, then so am I. I prefer this dimension. When I have kids, my husband and I will be the ones with decades of wisdom and experience so we will be the ones calling the shots and making the decisions. I'm not there to be bestest buddies with my kids, I'm there to teach them how to be decent, productive human beings and guide them through the growing up years in a way that spares them from as much unnecessary hurt as possible and teaches them to handle the pain that does come in a mature, responsible manner. Good behavior is rewarded, bad behavior is not.<br /><br />Do you remember the show Super Nanny? I watched on occasion, but the number of parents who had no idea how to be parents was depressing and infuriating. Make rules, stick to them, show actions have consequences.RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-1821172209558847942012-10-14T18:21:59.271-07:002012-10-14T18:21:59.271-07:00Haha, my parents did this as well.

Albeit, they weren't divorced, it was just so they could surprise each other with presents and whatnot.<br /><br />This commercial on the other hand is the total OPPOSITE of what MY parents did. Keeping secrets from one another is COOL now. Who cares who gets hurt in the process, as long as you're the COOL parent. Instead of being a PARENT to their kids, they're trying to be their FRIEND, which is a NO-NO in nature. You instill discipline, confidence, and personal responsibility into your chidden, not putting them in harms way with DEATH-DEFYING activities, trying to win the PARENT OF THE MONTH award.<br /><br />I guess I'm living in a different dimension here. Where parents are adults and not kids trying to be buddy buddy with their offspring. I know when my son is born, he is going to have two PARENTS who are going to take care of him and NOT be his friend. People are so self-absorbed these days. They care SO MUCH about what their peers, and children think. They gotta buy their kids the LATEST gadgets, the LATEST clothes, gotta be seen in the LATEST debtmobiles, its dumb. This cycle is never-ending. This whole Keeping up with Joneses is EVERLASTING. And people wonder why they're broke, they're kids get bullied, and what not. <br /><br />I'm rambling but you get the jist of what I'm saying. Adults are just kids with adult-looking costumes on.<br /><br />- WIll Out!!!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075205316978820380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-83458692799705162352012-10-14T05:25:42.876-07:002012-10-14T05:25:42.876-07:00The last one is just about the first horrible exam...The last one is just about the first horrible example that came to mind while I wrote this post.
