Children's perspectives are limited. The amount that they like you (or anything) depend on how you comply with their desires. Like I said on another post you have to learn to mix the candy with the vitamins. And the truth is that oftentimes your children WON'T like you for it (at least until they mature enough to have a scope grander than the moment -- most children learn to appreciate their parents after they've grown up).

Too many parents are more concerned with being their child's buddy that they are with teaching/nurturing/correcting them.

We in America oftentimes don't STOP being child-like in our adult lives. It continues to be about what we want right now, and that is the #1 reason why we're so jacked up.

Coolest thing I've read on OKP recently (courtesy of Quinn):
"when eminem gets on the cover of some teen fan zine with nick from n'sync, kevin from bsb and sisqo, it's because america is more comfortable with a white guy rapping about rapeing his mother than method man rapping about anything."
