Now I'm not a parent, but I do believe the object generally is not to "out-immature" your own children.
...the light-hearted anecdotes carried an uncomfortable echo of earlier allegations that Mr Romney had been a bully while at prep school and has a long history of uncaring behaviour.Matt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor's second son, told how his father would present his children with a stick of butter, telling them "it's so rotten you have to smell it". When they leaned down he would gleefully shove their faces into the plate.Mr Romney apparently repeated the trick recently with one of his grandsons, pushing the shocked child's head into a platter of whipped cream.
It should be noted that this still puts Romney on the liberal side of the Republican sociopathic spectrum as he believes in doing stuff like this...as opposed to a "right" to kill your own kids (can't abort a fetus, but can kill 'em if they piss ya' off).
I know of many cases of rebellious children, however, I cannot think of one case where I believe that a parent had given up on their child to the point that they would have taken their child to a court of law and asked the court to rule that the child be put to death. Even though this procedure would rarely be used, if it were the law of land, it would give parents authority. Children would know that their parents had authority and it would be a tremendous incentive for children to give proper respect to their parents.Holy crap!
This idiot by the way...former employer of the Arkansas Department of Human Services.
