My guilty pleasure? Watching The Supernanny. Generally the family in question on the show istotally cooperative. The guys toight? Couch-potato dad absolutely refuses to participate (he traveles 50 weeks out of the year).
The dad is the most selfish idividual I've ever seen, constantly undermines the mom, doesn't believe in or support the parenting techniques, and for all intents and purposes, reminds me of my bastard-of-an-ex husband.
Not that we had children together -- no, I was too afraid of him for that. No, it is the way that he approached everything, includinnnnnnnnnnnnnng.... home repair, maintenance on the marriage, and working because he bowed to the almighty buck and not to the sanctity of the human ties that bonded us in marriage.
So this guy on Supernanny... he just pissed me off. And it made me glad that I'm not married to him, or that bastard-ex, either.
Seeing the parents take their children for granted, is especially disconcerting to me. I hate when parents have so much in life, and never think that they might be harming their children irreperably... in fact, bringing up the very peoples in society from which they are trying to protect their families.
It just makes me sick because I want to make a difference... and I'm clueless as to how I could, at this point in my life.

I love you sister. I hated that guy on Supernanny also.
**hugs**
I think this is how it works, friend.
Parents who don't parent will not have children later in life. They will have strangers who grew up in their houses, but have nothing from them but DNA, and will give nothing to them but heartache. When these "dads and moms" are old they will have to pay for someone to care for them because their kids learned to be selfish at home, from their absent parents. That's my rant for today.
I saw a weird weird movie: Broken flowers! wacko!!!
