Hi Amanda,

Back again. I thought you poem about your parents was magnificent. I sure wish more parents would take their responsibilities as seriously as yours did (mine too) and were the "meanest parents in the world".

Parenting is an obligation and we're not doing our kids a favor by letting them get away with misbehaving and conducting themselves in an improper manner. All the new laws aren't helping much nowadays either. Believe it or not your parents in our day and age might be considered abusive parents.

Bravo. Great work.

Shalom,

Peter

Hello Bogdan,

Thank you for visiting.

Yes, Adlandpro is part of our lives and so many of us are
on here everyday.

The community is not just about business but networking
of people,  over a vast range of topics and interests.  I
think we have learned over time that to just do business
by throwing out an advert from time to time just does
not work to the same effect as getting to know the members
personally...
Then after awhile many of us began to enjoy the social
side of sharing our interests, advice, photos etc.  Adlandpro
is very different to any other community network or social
I am a member of.

We stay here because... Adland is Our Land

Hello Peter,

Thanks for visiting.
I particularly liked writing this poem 'meanest parents'
to.  I was inspired by some comments a friend I had made
online nearly 10 years ago.  As I started writing down these
'bad things' *lol* it just flowed that my parents were tough
and so many other parents of my generation yet the vast majority of my friends and people I went to school with all
came out pretty decent people.

I agree, by today's standards and laws our parents as well
as my ex husband and I would almost be considered
abusive parents.  We did not let our two run around like
wild things and do as they liked.  They had chores and
responsibilities and we definitely wanted to know where
they were and who they were with.  Many of Kerie and
Daryl's friends came and stayed a night or two at the weekends at our place.  They were always welcome and
we knew who they were hanging out with.
