I'm a Father I don't get to be easy.

So parents of a 16 year old boy didn't get a clown, magician, or hypnotist for their son's birthday party. It begs the question what other form of entertainment did they get? If I wanted to be mean or cruel maybe a Mime or a motivational speaker? Nope they got the young boy a stripper. I may have made some bonehead choices in my time but not thinking about my kids first is against my Parental Prime Directive. Then I read about a Victoria's Secret model posing with her very young daughter? Isn't that against the child pornography laws? http://www.aol.com/video/victorias-secret-model-poses-with-daughter/517540412/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000058&

I am a Father to 3 wonderful boys. I could sing their praises in 1000 blogs. I could gripe about the troubles they cause me too. I make choices that effect my children every day. I am painfully aware that every time I try to "wing it" as a parent I jeopardize their future. Sometimes my kids swear I hung the moon and all the stars. Most times they think I am Shrek's mean brother. I make them eat dinner as a family, go to church, do their homework properly, act and speak politely, use sir and ma'am, please and thanks, pray at meals and bedtimes, eat their vegetables, and drink water. I have to teach them the right way so that they can more easily learn to do things their way. I hold nothing else I do every day more important or sacred.
