This has got to be the most retarded thread I've seen in a long time. 
I wish my daughter was in to Bratz, unfortunately for me, she's in to the high dolla American Girl crap. What a racket that is. $100 for a freakin doll.
It's not even like she craps or pees like in the good old days we had Baby Alive. I loved that doll. Well until she started smelling from all the gummed up baby food that got stuck in her system.

This thread is hysterical... 
I am very "strict" compared to most mothers in my age group and it's because my mother wasn't and I know what kinda crap I got into and how lucky I am to have had the brains to turn myself around. Even in my later 20s I have some resentment towards my mom for not being as strict on us as she should have been.
I was allowed all the self mutilation I wanted with little parental fuss and where did it get me..... 7 tattoos by the time I was 18 that will cost me litterally thousands of dollars to remove now. I never got much more then a few stern words for smoking and was "allowed" to smoke when I was 14 or 15. Gee thanks mom!
Kids DON'T have good values; especially teenagers. Kids from all walks of life will do drugs. Depending on the availability of money is the only deciding factor between cocaine or crack. Is one worse then the other? No. Drugs and bad behavior in general are not "class" specific.
My mom thinks I'm terrible because I'm all for these bad kid boot camps. She thinks it relinquishing responsibility. I say if I do the best damn job that I can and I still have a bad ass kid, by all means obviously I'm doing something wrong and need someone else to do it. I can not stand to see poor parenting just to not cause turmoil or because a parent is afraid to be mean to thier kid.
What cracks me up here is all the lip from parents with very young kids (under say 10). I myself am in that category and still learning so who the hell am I with so little experience to tell anyone what's right or wrong or be so certain that my actions are the right ones. I'll raise my kids to the best of my ability and hopefully they'll be good teenagers and turn out to be good adults but not until they're that age will I be able to point at someone else and say how they're parenting is wrong.

Very well said, Ms. Grown Up Pixie. Most kids will find some kind of trouble along the way but with proper guidance they will make it through. I speak from experience and from what I see and hear of other peoples children also.

You have grown up kids. You're allowed to be opinionated.morganj614 said:
Damn my luck, I'd tell someone else they were a crappy parent and thier kid would grow up to cure cancer and mine would be a serial killer or something. I think it's absolutely foolish for parents of young kids to go back and forth since you don't have an end result to prove any of your "theories" about parenting.

Okay I had to skip through the pages because the first two pages just cracked me up. Who really gives a fark? I mean if your kid is going to grow up to be a whore then she's going to grow up to be a whore. Has nothing to do with a freakin doll. Just because a parent buys one for their kid does not mean that they aren't a parent but an egg donor. I think that is a bit harsh to say. Teenage girls have been knocked up since before time (and way before Bratz dolls came along.) As for someones kid wanting to only play with "well dressed Barbie's." What does a 6 year old know about a "well dressed Barbie?"

Sure we do. Just as you learned from your mother's mistakes, I can observe what others do around me. I look at how my parents, friends, co-workers, and others raise their kids and see what the results are. I've also taken psych classes and read about child psychology. Parenting wasn't just invented. We can either learn from history or we can blindly repeat it.pixiegirl said:You have grown up kids. You're allowed to be opinionated.
