You Have Failed As A Parent If...

In this age of parental permissiveness, it's time for a reality check that even Dr. Spock would agree with:

  • If your daughter walks out the front door with make-up on so thick she could substitute for Bozo the Clown at a circus...You have failed as a parent

  • If your daughter believes stripping is a real viable career option...You have failed as a parent

  • If your son regularly refers to girls and women as bitches and hos...You have failed as a parent

  • If strangers can't tell the difference between your 14 year old daughter and a street walker...You have failed as a parent

  • If the terms "my baby's mama" or "my baby's daddy" is utilized in your home by your children...You have failed as a parent

  • If you smoke dope with your children...You have failed as a parent

  • If you think it's acceptable to allow your 15 year old son or daughter to have their significant other sleep over in their bedroom...You have failed as a parent

  • If you regularly 'party' with your kids and their friends...You have failed as a parent

  • If your daughter believes that pole dancing should be a choice for P.E....You have failed as a parent

  • If your children refer to your current spouse as uncle/aunt, cousin and step-parent...You have failed as a parent

  • If you ever date your child's former or current significant other...You have failed as a parent

  • If the police know your children by their first names (and they're not related nor are they family friends)...You have failed as a parent

  • If your tween or younger children understand the reference to "Debbie Does Dallas"...You have failed as a parent

  2. Hahaha...it is with profound relief that I have NOT failed as a parent. I thought I had but we explained to our 21 year old that pole dancing didn't earn a six figure income. She would have fallen and broken something anyways. She went to college instead.


    Hahaha...funny post!
