Re: Parental Control..
My dad usually got "crappy statements" from other people because he gave me and sister too much independence.
His usual response was that -
"In life - they need to deal with men as their employers, husbands, sons and co workers. They need to learn how to how to deal with them now."
It really helped to get out of "Oh my gawd, a boy a boy, *swoon *swoon" syndrome pretty early in life.
