[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 433817, member: 6546"] Yeah, that was my reaction, too. How in the world??? I compared it to racist language. I said that I know I could make a rule forbidding racist language in my house - but what in the world am I going to say that will stop someone from actually [I]being[/I] racist or having racist opinions? I can only change myself. I can force difficult child to go through the motions - but I can't actually force her to change her thinking or feelings. And thanks! I hope it does help her to at least understand what everyone is talking about. [/QUOTE]
