    Thank you for that! I was young once too and I didn't act in the exact way that my parents would have liked me to but I never disrespected them in a verbal fashion or tried to change their views. I respected their views and did not "label" them. Where did this label come from? How did it come to be? Since when has what my child may learn through TV, the internet or even the person next door become more valuable than what I may teach them? Why have I become "old fashioned" and insignificant? Why? Because there is to much out there that contradicts that. My parents had it hard, I had it even harder. You? Unless things change, you're going to have it even harder. You may tell your children the same the same things that your parents told you but the world around them won't. "It takes a village to raise to a child"...What village is raising our children? This blog post of mine was tame. I had to bite my tongue as to what I really wanted to say.

    My parents are the same way as you are toward my brother and I. Before I moved out a couple months ago and before my brother moved away for college, they wouldn't allow us to go sleep at a friends house if they were the opposite gender. But, in the past year, if we did or we slept over at our boy/ girlfriends house, then we'd have to sleep in separate rooms.

    So I guess that makes them old fashioned, and me old fashioned when I become a mother in the later future because I'll tell my children the same thing.
