I think I'm a good parent. At least I try really hard to be anyway. I try to listen and offer guidance. If my son says dad I want to take up smoking I would explain the long term health ramifications of such a decision.
And calling legislation political shaming is a bit disingenuous. It's like calling everything racist, it's designed to end the debate. I certainly don't wish to shame or harm anyone let alone a child. But we protect kids. Or at least we should.
Anyway. Don't want to risk the ire of the mods or the dreaded locked thread, so after your response we can let it go! Have a good rest of your weekend Connor. Congrats to Chels. Top 4 is going to be tough now for my aimless lot of headless chickens!
