Most unfortunate, indeed.

Yet, in Florida the impossible is achieved with great regularity.

I rolled houses with TP as a minor. I even egged a place or two. But never in my wildest dreams would I have considered asking my parents to give me a lift to do so.

And this isn't that unusual now. Parents actually take kids to roll houses. WTF??

Somewhere along the way we seemed to reach a point where a lot of parents think they need to be best friends with their kids rather than being parents.

Children need to be parented. How many times have we read on the forums, both here and down the street, that Jr "is my best friend and I would die if I lost them">too many.

In the case noted on this thread, the father was a child when he became a father and he never grew up.

And the country shall come to rue the day that first happened.
