[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. My parents and I are not on the same political page at all but they exist as people in many ways that have nothing to do with politics. My father is an extremely generous person and now that he is retired his life is pretty much just helping others - giving them rides, helping them move, meeting them for breakfast or lunch, getting them things they need, fixing things for them etc. He always has great stories, the grandkids love him and he loves them and he will play with them down on the floor or runing around the house for hours.

My mother's passions in life are flowers and birds and she spends a great deal of time on these interests and in creating a very serene and peaceful place - her backyard is like a botanical garden! I greatly enjoy spending time with her in the garden, listening to her talk about her birds and looking at the beauty of nature. [/quote]

So what if when out in your mom's garden enjoying the flowers with her she makes some incredibly racist comment? Would you just ignore it and move on? Would it bother you? Does she get a pass because she's your mother? What if it were another parent at your kid's school who said it? Would you cut them off?[/quote]
