I actually confess to being unable to watch her show, even when people I like are on.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I can't decide if I think that is ridiculous or cool.
I vote: lame.
You don't want to defer your authority to a gadget.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Guess what? Parents do have to be the "bad guy" sometimes.

Guess what else? Enforcing boundaries is not being "bad." It's being a parent. It's one of your three parental Must Do responsibilities in Hec's Good Enough Parenting Guide. 1) Keep them Alive. 2) Love them to bits. 3) Set Boundaries.

It's not being bad, but it can be being "bad." In the sense that you might piss off the kid. But you know I'm all @@ about pissing off the kid.

OTOH, I should maybe get that for myself. Put the card in the other room.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think it's just a poor way to market it.
I can see that it could be useful, though my mom would just shut off the television and we knew better than to turn it on, again.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Sounds like a great chance meeting, Hec.
Our family was so big that my parents couldn't possibly be everywhere at once, so such a device could have been useful. If the kids don't find a way to monkeywrench it.
