I must be watching too much TV these days because I’ve seen two commercials to which I needed to respond as noted by this and the previous post.

There was a cell phone commercial where the dad walks into the room where his two teenage children are draped over a sofa and a chair. He says to them something like, “Now you can talk and text message all you want with this new cell phone plan!” They respond, “We do that already.” Dad says, “Yes, but your mother will now be able to give up her second job!” Mom walks out in a sandwich board-type costume suggesting she is walking advertisement for a Taco place! Okay, folks. What’s the problem here?

Why in the world are we not limiting our children? Why are we giving them free reign? Why are we raising children with a huge sense of entitlement? They don’t get that on their own. We give it to them. You do not have to follow the trend. You can stand up and say “NO, STOP, I WON’T HAVE IT!” You can do this. I promise.
