[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 237986, member: 6546"] There was a comedian who did a wonderful bit on this--I'm sorry that I cannot recall his name--but he said that he cannot treat his child the way he would treat a friend, because if he caught the "friend" doing half the things the child has done--they wouldn't be friends in the first place! "[I]Think about it[/I]," he says "[I]if you saw your friend take a dump on your carpet--first you'd yell 'Mike! What the He** are you doing!?!' and then you'd throw him out of your house and sue him for the carpet-cleaning bill. You just can't do that to a kid!"[/I] And this is so true....funny, but true. So Heather, I agree with you...it is not a peer-peer relationship and it cannot be handled as one. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
