Parenting Philosophy from MTV?

Spending some quality time with my cousin today, just relaxing on the couch. It's funny how terribly scripted shows like "World's Strictest Parents" on MTV can lead to such in depth conversations about parenting! We can't get over how aweful these teenagers are!

So I guess these kids' own parents haven't instilled enough respect in them themselves so they have to go live with a "strict" family for a week. These two kids we're watching now haven't even been there for an hour and they're yelling at them and going off to smoke cigarettes, cussing.

We didn't grow up in the strictest of families either, but how self-obsorbed do you have to be to be that disrespectful to complete strangers? Unbelieveable! Susan better watch out the day that she ever treats someone like that!....I'm thinking of all the channels on TV that I'm going to have to block when she gets older.:)
