Control… was/Something to think about (Off topi
off-spring or not. Surely we are there to guide them not to control
them ? Or am I misunderstanding your statement here ? Steve - Cheltenham, UK
Well it depends! I hate to see uncontrolled screaming children when I go out for
the evening!
I personally think they should be in bed at a reasonable time etc. As they get
older I think they should be supported in their choice of a mate etc- Unless one
has evidence that the person in a murderer or abusive then I think a bit of
interference wouldn’t hurt-it may not help either 
Ask me how I know !
I heard once that each of us has a desire in the way we should go , but that Mom
& Dad usually want to stifle us so that “we” will follow their dreams for us-I
don’t mean that!
What I should have just said was to be Self-controlled (those almond Hershey
bars were my downfall as far as my 30 plus days off of sugar- but I refuse to
blame the person who posted they ate them and they were OK I still sought them
out:)
AND control our pets here again so they aren’t a nuisance OR do not end up as
Roadkill..this goes for kiddies too.
