[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 227328, member: 3626"] I'm with you, Heather. My daughter's boyfriend back home was many things, few of them positive and I honestly didn't like him but she did. I did my best to find whatever good there was in him. I did call him a slacker a time or two but it was not meant meanly and it was something he called himself. It is sometimes hard to accept the people in our children's lives. They are rarely good enough for our kids even the best of them. That seems to be part of being a parent. However, our kids do seem to frequently pick ones that make themselves look good or ones that they think they can save. Either way, they do seem to frequently be a notch or two below what our kids are. Rarely are they ones we want to use as role models. Even so, it does no good to call these B/GFs names. It only demeans our kids. As you said, our kids frequently have some pretty bad habits that most parents would die if their kids did them. So, we really should be the last to judge. [/QUOTE]
