I agree with COMF. Smoking indoors is nasty. I used to clean houses, and ran into the same thing he describes. I have a 64 year old friend, who has smoked for 37 years.............and they had moved to a new home. She says she now understands why most of her friends go outside to smoke. She lives in Laguna Hills, CA, so it isn't hard for her to do that...........it's not like they have snow and frigid winds. She smoked outside, but quit two months ago. She said she spent the first week in bed, sicker than sick, but got over that.
Also, I agree with Princess that children should have the right to speak their minds. Rudeness can be handled, but you can't predict it either. Children are children, and as one of my nieces used to say "children are to be seen AND heard."
Animal............they are not encouraged to be rude. What kind of a parent would do that???
My daughter lied about cheating on a test at school.... had I ignored it and not corrected her about it, she would have assumed it was cool, that she could do it again. I didnt, and she wont.
Not sure I agree with that, when it comes to kids v adults. As adults, we can and should speak honestly while taking into consideration whom we are speaking to. As kids, they dont have a grasp on that yet. That is our job.
Total freedom to speak ones mind to anyone anywhere could lead to many problems, no? I would never tell you how to raise your kids tho, do as you will. I know how I wish mine to act and I lead them that way.
