Top Parenting Questions

I used to think that when I became a parent I would understand certain things, but now that I am one, the questions remain. I'm sure there are many other parents as confused about these issues as I am. Perhaps those of you who have the answers can help the rest of us to understand.
1. Why do you solicit sexual attention for your daughter?The sole purpose of those short shorts with words across the behind is to make people look there. Rest assured, they look. Adolescent boys. Grown men. Sexual predators. They look. At your daughter. 2. Why do you want that?
3. Why do you steal from your children? When you take over their school assignments or Scout projects you take away their self-confidence. You take away their dignity.
4. Is the purpose of school and Scouts and sports to be-the-best, all-the-time, at-any-cost, or they means to a more important end? 5. Aren't they opportunities for your child to discover him or herself; to develop the skills and the judgement they need to successfully navigate in the world?
6. Why do you spend so little time with them outside of the minivan?
7. Why do you give them cell phones and computers and micro-gadgets that seduce them into the addictive world of techno-anonymity?
8. Why don't you eat dinner together?
9. Why do you rescue them from the consequences of their choices?
10. Why does your family bible look brand new?
I'm relatively new to the "parent group". Please, help me to understand.
Anyone...?
In the July 14, 2006 edition of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY), James Lawrence wrote, "African Americans, including myself, owe it to ourselves and future generations to speak and act against a culture of indifference that has enabled a mindset of callousness and irresponsibility to infect too many black minds, particularly those of young people."
