Mom arrested for egging houses

A parent should never be more friend than parent. My second marriage is to a woman who is her kids best friend as well as a caretaker. She does most anything they ask. She even wipes the butt of her 7 year old boy. The kids are pretty laid back, some would say lazy. I have two children in their 30's who grew up knowing what was appropiate for behavior. Having a friend as a mother does not provide for the discipline needed to grow and become a responsible teenager or adult. Mom's and Dad's need to have reasonable rules to live by and to be a good example for their children.

I helped my daughter egg cars, when she was 16. She's 21 now and calls me for advise daily. Sometimes it's good just to be there.

Hey,I disagree with your some of your comments. I am a divorced parent who is very close to her daughter. However, I teach my daughter right from wrong even though we are pals. Your scenario was nota fair one.

Some of you have fallen victim to a misconception. There's a difference between a "friend" relationship and a "friendLY" relationship. My mother and I are friendly with each other, but she has never been, is not, and will never be my "friend." By definition a parent cannot be a friend because this term denotes a specific kind of relationship, one that does not involve blood kinship. Moreover, to label my mother a friend would be to lower her status. She is my mother, a singular position, for I will never, can never have another. When a parent tries to be a friend, he is attempting to be something he cannot and is abdicating his responsibility to lead.

Funny thing is... my mom was both. And she had urged me to understand that as I would get older my friendships would change. And that a true friend wouldn't want to see me get into trouble. My mom would never had thrown eggs with me. But when I did do something wrong, it hurt the most to hear her say how dissapointed she was. It was worse than any yelling match that could have occurred. And now that I am older, my peers are out there to protect me. And I realize now that the same purpose should follow friendship. My mom was my friend. She just happened to be my mom.

My parents rasied me as PARENTS, not my pals or "Equals". They were not my equals, I was a child, they were adults. It was treated as such. Now that I am an adult, we are friends. My Father always told us "I am your father, not your friend. That time will come. Now my job is to raise you to be productive adults." It worked! Sure, he got goofy with us from time to time. My Mother did too. They were our parents first and foremost though. I am proud to call my parents my friends now.

i think parents can be parents and set limits for there children, its ok to be a kids freind, but you also have to set boundries its always nice to have a parent that u can talk to about stuff u cant talk to your freinds about, so its ok to go out tping with your kid every now and then and its also ok to give kids there consiquenses, if your not your childs freind then your child wont be there childrens kids and youll have a lot of messed up kids

My parent's were strick, back when you had to pick your own switch or get the razor strap - either way meant welts. Any way I have a coworker who is like this with her kids (a peer). She helps them toilet paper places and/or pour syrup and chocolate all over driveways. She also does their homework! Wonder what the kids will do when they go to College or get a job?

Helping teenagers TP or egg a home is absolutely the wrong thing to do. I know a few moms who think this is fun but they are not setting a good example as far as i am concerned. having your home egged is usually malicious and the mom is an unwitting bully even if she is foolish enough to think it is all in fun.

OMG I think number 18 is a real doozie....Her 18 year old boyfriend told her that her 17 year old daughter was good at oral sex????????? Why or how would Moms boyfriend know that daughter was good at this??? How old is Mom to begin with...and why would she want to teach her daughter how to do this???? And she has a 12 year old and a 7 year old???? And she considers this "play"???????Is it me or is there something wrong with this story???? Maybe I am getting old and senile and feable and didnt read it right......what is this world coming too??????
