Great looking boots. Shouldn't have any problems wearing them openly on the streets of any city. Do they have a Payless style name or model number? And, are they part of Payless' new fall/winter collection?

now, that's a heel meet.

hmm, who turned over that rock?

You guys are way to liberal for my taste. But, that's the wonderful thing about a free society. You raise your children the way you want to and I'll raise mine my way. However, never forget that parents are responsible for their childrens actions.......until they reach the age of majority. Then, although you'll never stop being their parents, they're responsible for their actions.

Thanks, Shoeiee! You've said it all. And, it couldn't have been said any better. Un-monitored children are directionless and will seek the path of least resistance down life's road. It is up to parents to teach their children that actions have consequences. It is their responsibility to see that their offspring are prepared to enter the adult world as productive, law-abiding citizens. Parents that insist on giving their children totally, non-intrusive, privacy will be completely unaware of any detrimental activities their children might be engaged in. Chances are they'll awaken one day and be dumbfounded to find there offspring in jail, pregnant, in the hospital, or otherwise unprepared in many other life altering ways to take their place in modern society.

Should have told her 20 years ago.

My only comment is: Neither one of you guys should ever plan on living in my house, then.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Lindsay. Like some of your other comments, you've reacated strictly from an emotional point of view. There isn't any such thing as a "nosey parent" when it comes to disciplining children. And, bye the way, this issue isn't about respecat. It's entirely about "as long as you're living under my roof, the only "rights" you have are the ones I give you. And. if you don't like my rules, get your own place.

You can disagree. I said it was my opinion.........

IMHO, 30 years old is way to old to live with one's parents -- unless there are "special" circumstances unrelated to finances. The unwritten rule about children living with parents, no matter what age, is that they have no privacy while under their parent's roof. Whatever rules parents establish are the rules you live by. To angerly react :mad:to your mother going through your things isn't proper behavior. If you demand total privacy, get your own place where tenant-landloard laws apply. Otherwise, cool it.

Wow!!! That one's a "keeper" in more ways than just looks.
