Take your children seriously.

If your kids are living at home after high school they better have a job or be going to school.

Give your kids some morals to live by.

Dear parents,
Don’t let your kids be attention seekers.
Dear parents,
Love your children unconditionally.
I am so thankful for my mom growing up. She deserves credit for the young woman I have become today. This post was inspired by the numerous people I encounter who are my age and still run around acting like middle schoolers. At first I used to get mad at them for acting like a$$holes & always leaving me to pick up their pieces for them in a friendship. Until my mom pointed out that their parents probably didn’t teach them these things growing up. Very sad.. & no, I don’t have children of my own. Don’t take this post too seriously, it’s for a mixed audience; both parents and “kids” my age.

This is awesome! For someone’s who isn’t a mom yet, I gotta say you have an upper hand on this parenting thing already!
I like you post but the one that says if you are a “X” do not come in is quite one-sided. It is fair to say that you might not agree with their sentiments, but it would be a illegal and un-American of you not to allow them in because you disagree with their beliefs. I would assume you are in American and an American you should be even more tolerant to those who are not so because the bigots are the ones to be pitied. They are the ones that we should feel bad for because they are misinformed. But do not condemn them. For example, the only simple reason you are not a rattlesnake is because your parents were not rattlesnakes. You deserve little credit for what you are, and as such, they deserve little DIScredit for what they are. As John Bradford quipped when passing a drunkard “For but the grace of God go I.” When we started limiting peoples entrance to places just because we disagree with their believes, no matter how wrong they might be, we perpetuate the same “anti” whatever that they as well perpetuate.
