I do that too Mel, i own this house and have the right to look whenever i want to, so far thankfully i have never found anything!!!!

I agree with you guys...I had no privacy as a kid, but I was also taught respect for people...something a lot of parents leave out nowadays. I go through Summer's backpack and lunchbox, too Karrie!

Penny, my mom told me those exact words as a teenager!!

My favorite quote from my grandmother.......
That statement will make you stop and think before taking that piece of gum.

Tonya funny you should mention Videogames a tv documentry was on and it shown you 3 sets of children who were addicted to games. One boy was on for 20 hours can you believe it and they was trying to cut it down to 1hr a night. Well this boy could not do it.

Heres another I don't know if you have heard of Jamie Oliver over there. He is a Chef and complained about the way children in England eat junk food in school. Anyway the government decided to get our kids to eat more healthier. Fruit and Veg etc.
In the papers on Monday it shown you Parents at school gates taking orders for the chip shops eg: Fish and Chips, Sausage and chips (french fries)
Macdonalds etc. The kids were all there giving these parents the money because they are not used to healthy food!!

Summer always begs for junk food and the closest she gets is a box of fruit snacks from time to time. I don't have chips in my house or cookies, or cake, or soda. I refuse to feed her that stuff on a regular basis, but then again- I have a kid who loves brussel sprouts, lima beans, spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, you name it- she eats it. If there wee junk food here, she would want that. Her favorite snack is cottage cheese and tomatoes!
I hate the fact that people don't parent their kids and then wonder why they have no control... makes no sense to me. Yes, I give Summer Mcd's from time to time, but c'mom...how many people do you know whose kids can order fast food quicker than an adult can? Kinda sad!
