[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 90967, member: 3626"] I don't like rudeness but I can tolerate if I have to. Just don't expect me to do things for you if you are rude to me. I have no reason to be nice to someone who is verbally abusive to me, not even my own child. However, I cannot tolerate racism. If my child were to be so foolish as to make a racist remark around me, said child would be out of my sight in a heartbeat. At home, she'd be leaving the house for awhile -- at least until she was ready to apologize. If I was in the car with her, the car would be stopped at the first possible opportunity and she could walk home or to wherever we were going. Again, she'd not be allowed back until I heard a sincere apology. If in a store or other public place, I hope she enjoyed the walk home because she would most definitely not be riding in my car. I'm not sure I would give her many chances to understand that this behavior is not acceptable around me. She might get two, I doubt she would get three. I would always love her, but I'm honestly not sure I could live with her under those circumstances. (Heck, I even find the phrase "that's so gay" objectionable and consider it a form of stereotyping and prejudice!) [/QUOTE]
