Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Like it is

I try to be respectful of other peoples' life styles. ESPECIALLY when they do no harm to the community. I fully honor others' rights to have the same choices I have.

People though seem to not get in general that with those choices come consequences.
You choose to live in a country that you have entered illegally and are draining resources that aren't yours to use from it..... you're not going to be welcomed with open arms. ESPECIALLY when you expect people to cater to YOUR needs while you take from them.

You cannot belong to ANY organization that has guidelines, if you don't meet those guidelines! You can love whomever you love. But some private organizations do not allow practicing Gays in.... and that's just how it is. Find a different organization. But they don't HAVE to change their rules for you. Creating NEW, unfair rules are STILL their prerogative if they are a private club or organization so SORRY!

Then there are parents who work rather than staying home with their kids. That's life. SOMEONE has to bring in $. But do BOTH parents always have to? SOMETIMES. And in some situations: when childcare isn't defeating the purpose of the paycheck, parents who work because they WANT to but don't need to, MORE POWER TO THEM! Some are just not cut out to stay home ALL day EVERY day. Some like that balance. And that's FINE. But A)Don't criticize those who choose the alternative... ESPECIALLY if both parents working means that the 2nd paycheck does NOTHING but pay for the childcare. And B) If you work more that 10 hours outside the home each week, you are NOT a Stay at home Parent. So at least be honest with yourself and the rest of us. You are a Working Parent.... and that's fine. Just own it!!!!

And FINALLY, you may choose to have one or two children. Don't criticize those who choose to have more. They aren't freaks, possessing an over active sex drive, or selfish. (in MOST cases anyway!) They just want a big family. And that is OK! As long as those Children are reasonably being cared for, BUTT OUT!!!!!!!!!
