Not really much of importance to post, just been busy getting ready to head back to school and such.  I finished up my internship 2 weeks ago, then took the week off to study for the MPRE on the Friday before last and prepare for my school's 3-day long required Trial Advocacy seminar last Monday-Wednesday.  I actually enjoyed myself a little at

I, too, have been extremely agitated in recent shopping trips, especially in Target. Several times, there has been a woman walking around nonchalantly while her child screams at the top of his or her lungs. Does the mother try to stop it? Does she hurry because her child's screams can be heard across the entire store? Does she acknowledge it? No... she's shopping. If this were 22 years ago and I was the child screaming and my mother was pushing the cart, she would have removed me from the cart, taken me out to the car, and given me something to cry about. But parents these days are all about "free expression" and surely their little angels would never do anything wrong!

I know exactly what you mean! My mom would've done the same thing. I recall my mother getting all kinds of embarrassed and agitated whenever we'd pitch a fit at the store, and even a few times I watched my mom let my brother have it right there in the store! (Not hard, of course, but just enough of a swat to shut him up.) My dad, on the other hand, who was a little more intimidating, could just LOOK at us and we'd quit our whining. Parents nowadays are just not strict enough with their kids. They let their kids run them. I am seriously afraid of what will happen when this generation grows up, as already there seems to be a growing legion of tweens & teens out there who think they're entitled to anything and everything they want. Where is the discipline?
