hmmm
Quote From: tab0519Is it me, or are we creating a next generation of pampered pansies? Has anybody ever thought of shutting down all these mind warping video games, Ipods, Blackberrys, screen names, online chat rooms, TV sets, DVD players, etc. and turning the light off - at say, 9PM and saying "night night kiddo"?
This show hasn't aired yet for me to watch, so I am going strictly by the tag line on the show page. But I can tell you this - I have - more than once - told my son (who thankfully is in the last year of high school) - you miss the school bus? You walk the 5 miles to school. You don't do your homework? Fine. I have my education and my career - you want to work in retail the rest of your life that is your decision. I just know - and my son knows too - it would be a cold day in h*** I would massage his feet to get him up for school in the morning. I wake him once. He gets up. He knows, from experience, he misses school he not only has to deal with the school, he has to deal with me - and he knows his odds are better if he skydives from a space shuttle. I see tough parenting works sometimes. I wonder if Miranda was completely honest on the show. She said that she excersizes but when? My 16 year old is extremely lazy, and mostly because I enable her to be. Very oftentimes I have picked up my 100 pound daughter out of bed or dragged her onto the floor to get her up. Miranda should consider her eating habits too and just go to the family doctor and see what he says
