Love the taxes rule. The thing is, I'm just not an advocate of the one size fits all parenting philosophy. It's ridiculous to me that people think that one blanket strategy can apply across millions of families. I don't even parent my 3 all the same! They respond differently to everything else in life - why would parenting be different?
I have to say that this thread completely captures the reason I love this board. Everyone has different approaches and opinions and no one gets pissy or judgemental or defensive. There may be disagreement, but the support is unconditional. It's the one place in my life where live-and-let-live actually means just that. You guys are a big bowl of awesome (made with brocolli, hot fudge, and peanuts).

We tell the kids that cursing is like alcohol, it's very very bad for you, until you turn 18 and then it's suddenly very very fun.
They also all get 1 free pass to ask if a word counts as a curse word. Which is hilarious. 'Mom is motherfucker a bad word? Yes dear, all words that end in fucker are curse words. Is bastard a curse word? Depends on usage, if you go back in time to the 1800's and want to discuss someone's lack married parents, then you may sat bastard, but so long story stay in our time you can't say it until you're 18'

Chuck got kinda pissed when I started showing G episodes of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy. I'm sorry, but Sean Connery picking "The Penis Mightier" for the category "The Pen is Mightier"? Gold. And Gram laughed his most awesome, can't hardly breathe giggle. Anything that produces that beautiful sound cannot be censored.

And we aren't prudes. But watching your kid drool over clothed boobs while natural? Disturbing AF.
Throw actual sex scenes on an already horny teenager? FML... just ..awkward. for all of us.
When the boys get older trust me y'all. It's just plain uncomfortable for the entire family haha hahaha. Like... they can't help it and you know that but it doesn't make it any less awkward as fuck for absolutely everyone in the room..except for maybe Mr. Hangers who finds it hysterical. So in the last year we've just taken to per screening movies and making a judgement call based on that hahaha

Omg hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
Mr. h and I knew when he started willingly washing his own bedsheets regularly. Without my asking. Hubs laughed because apparently I turned green. Lol he says "he's growing up mama. It's normal. I'll talk to him about discretion and all since we have a house full of women. Don't worry."
It's just so weird. Girls are so much easier in some ways. Though I don't loom forward to the birth control discussion in a few years. Hubs and I have already had a few tiffs about that.
