Crazy, this thread pulled the 19 yr old flying baby out of the woodwork.
Go directly to jail nowadays if you pulled that toss in the right place.

@tami. Yes, once a climber always a climber. I played every sport you could when I was younger, field hockey in high school, and now I just spend 2 hours at the gym everyday.

Kismet that this thread revived today.
I'm in line at the local convenience store, standing behind an obese mother and her 2 year old daughter. Mom's got two packs of cigs and a sixer of Red Bull on the counter, while her daughter plays with candy from the rack. Mom looks down and says "Put that back. It's bad for you".
I almost died laughing.

I LOVE that father. I could totally see my dad trying something similar. Interesting lesson on several levels for the girl. Besides showing more respect for her parents, maybe she learned a fairly easy lesson on controlling her online expression. Let's face it: Most of us probably ragged on our parents to friends about chores and stuff--and maybe laced it with our budding abilities to curse. But when this girl posted it on FB, she took to the next level. Not so cool. Learning self-control isn't easy. At least this girl has a father who really cares about her.

Looks like the parenting I received (without having been given those toys, and I certainly had a job at 14).
One year, I peeked at a christmas gift. Parents knew and said nothing. I opened the gift on xmas morning, they immediately took it away and put it in the trash where it remained. It was a charm bracelet. Never even considered peeking again.
Another time, my sister had gotten a hold of some controlled substances my mom subsequently found. That night, we were going to eat dinner at the table which was unusual and reserved only for about two holiday dinners a year. (Generally we ate on the floor. No joke). Wondered what was up. We all sat down to eat, and our centerpiece was --- drugs. Yowza.
I laugh now. Pretty tense at the time.

The challenge some have is to "rise above your raising."
Many do. I count myself among them.

True Tim. My parents (children themselves at the time) were harsh. I don't want to come across as dissing them. They did the best they could. We all survived and are thriving productive people. I bet all parents do things they later regret. We learned lessons - all of which probably could have been learned in other ways.
