The local grade school finally went and did it!

I would start an underground TAG society. You can't stop kids from playing tag. I think it's illegal. Doesn't the Bill of Rights cover this?

OMG!!!

I make sure that I am a complete ****** to my kids so as to balance out their life experiences. I am not complaining too much, as most of these kids will be such pussies when they grow up that they still won't be able to take me when I'm 100.

The whole thing is ridiculous. There should be a playground waiver or something that parents can sign so that their kids can live a little. We played tackle football on the blacktop when I was a kid, and all I ever got was melt marks on my Toughskins.

We're all getting to be a bunch of babies.

Last week we told our daughter not to bother the cat next door, she continued to bug the cat who seemed to be having a bad day, it bit her.

She learned a valuable lesson and now only pets the cat if it comes to her, which it does. No matter how much you're told about something, nothing beats having it happen to you.

I have friends that would demand the cat's owners head for that incident.

That does suck,but I have seen a few kids get hurt playing it

It's not the lawyers to blame, but the teachers unions. They are worst than lawyers.

This is why we home school our children.

I think there's plenty of blame to go around: don't forget the schools that are too afraid to put up a fight against lawsuits, and the parents themselves who put up with this nonsesne AND perpetrate the offending lawsuits.

You want to know what happens to these kids when they grow up?

My husband works at the local college book store. The kids enrolling now, come in to buy their books. If things don't work out their way, because the book sold out and the lazy bums couldn't make it to the bookstore 3 weeks ago when they first got in and before school started, but no, now that class starts in 3 mins they need their book, and oops they're all gone, they have their mommy and daddy come in and "fix it". And by "fix it" I mean, "complain loudly." Luckily the college doesn't run the bookstore, it's a different company and my husband's boss is a friendly sort that is more than happy to reply loudly that the book sold out and that as a college student, the kid should have been more responsible by buying it when they first announced it. He then informs the parents that it is bad form for them to have to come in and try to handle their kid's business since that the kid is an "adult".

Yes, these kids are in college. They will one day run companies and our government... with mommy and daddy on speed dial.

I'm not kidding about this. I was at a continuing education course to keep my CPA license active and we were discussing millineum generation...I think that is what they are calling the recent college graduates.

One person, said that a prospective employee's mother came in and sat in the interview helping the candidate try and land the first job.

A second one said that a parent called them and wanted explanations as to why their adult son/daughter received less than an excellent employee performance review.

I haven't experienced anything this extreme yet and although these stories are very unusual, they do occur.
