I believe all of the children should be left out of it. I'm not sure what a 17 year old getting pregnant has to do with a presidential race, I can guarantee you that at 17 my parents had very little control over most of my decisions. You raise them right and hope they turn out ok, but at some point they make their own choices and they are theirs to live with.
Jill - right on!
I do not believe that not always agreeing means someone is not "playing nice" - in the context of the comment I will reiterate "I am not having a bad day, I do not need to kick something, and I do not need to move on. In fact I am having a quadrant 4 day."
lj - yes that works, thanks
quadrant 4 see below (should be a 2x2 box - pdf attached)
