   I'm in college right now and for the first two years of being here my old man would try to call me every day. Every day. And he would expect to be able to talk for ~= half an hour. Every day. Most days I would just not answer or simply turn the phone off. But then because he couldn't get through then suddenly "something had happened and I could be hurt." It drove me nuts. I finally managed to convince him to wait for me to call him (once every 2 weeks or so) and since then my life has vastly improved.

   Are you trying to tell me that kids can operate without constant supervision?
   
   What the fuck? They can hardly control their own mouths without supervision.

   Parenting?

   Wow, you mean like you are supposed to raise kids properly? I thought all you needed was a video game system (preferablly XXX and violent) and cable TV! So now who exactly expects kids to listen to their parents if they have no respect for anyone anymore.

   That doesn't change when you become an adult, apparently.

   Isn't it easier to just provide a free washer and dryer with a nice meal? That's all my parents had to do to have me come by on Fridays.
   
   When my nephew goes off to college, I think my brother is adding to this by offering to "fix his laptop". I told them to get a Macintosh, but I guess my brother still wants to be the family support tech.

   Guidelines?

   All that my folks did for me when I was growing up was give me the basic "Guidelines of life". (Yeah, a couple of beatings too...) And I could not thank them more for that. It was pretty simple... 1. Before you do something... Think about what will happen. 2. If you don't know... Find out more first. 3. If you think you know... Repeat steps 1 & 2....
