[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes 130 pages for someone to mention that the mom isn't a scientist or whatever she's been portrayed in the news but a writer of (bad) erotic fiction?!?!?! Somehow that just makes the whole story that much more ridiculous. (The ridiculous part being that they have managed to provoke a massive amount of press around a nonexistent threat from overbearing police, CPS, school secretaries and others....)[/quote]

They have managed to provoke police, CPS, and the school all looking for a reaction and attention when instead of starting unnecessary wars they should be supervising their kids.  She can easily take a laptop and do her writing and internet posting from a park bench.[/quote]

Gotta love parents telling other parents how to raise their kids.   :roll:

I think next time I am at the park, I am going to go up to the helicopter that follows their kid around 1 foot away the whole time and tell them what I think. [/quote]

Please do.  If you are the lazy one sitting on the bench while your kid comes up to us asking to help them, play with them, etc. we'd be happy to tell you what we think as well.  Some parents actually engage and play with their kids and assist them on things they need help with.  We get so tired of being free babysitters and will happily tell you to play with your own kid.  If we sit for a few minutes, our kids ask us to come play.[/quote]

I am not there on the bench anymore. My kids are 5, 10, and 13 and go to the park on their own. And even if I was with them they sure aren't asking other people's parents to play with them. They wonder why they can't play with kids without their parents tagging along structuring their free time at the park. [/quote]

There is a difference with a 13 year old taking a 5 year old vs a 10 year old.  Parents who supervise are not structuring kids free time anymore than parents who prefer to be lazy and not supervise.  Your five year old may need help with the bigger equipment and if your older kids are occupied with their own thing, yes, it is possible they are.  [/quote]
