Family Issue:

[votivesoul]

So-called "over protective parenting" is a bunch of new age nonsense.

When I was a kid, my brothers and I roamed the neighborhood with friends, and it wasn't long before we were egging churches, getting into fist fights, throwing snow and ice balls at passing cars, trespassing, skipping class, stealing and shoplifting, killing animals, blowing stuff up with fire-crackers, making Molotov Cocktails with lighter fluid and setting dumpsters on fire, pranking and scaring the elderly, lying to the cops, getting hurt doing stupid stuff, practicing witchcraft, and all sorts of other bad behavior.

And all because we had our freedom to go and be un-supervised all summer long, year after year.
