Real Housewives (Spoiler)
OK... so this episode had a lot of parenting things in it, and it got me thinking...
Jena- I would NEVER allow my kids to talk to me the way Shane does to her. "I'd have more $ if you were dead" WOW!!!
Lynn- Her daughter went to a continuation/alternative HS because she was a behavior problem, and dropped out of college, has no job and they bought her a BMW for her 18th birthday~! NOT!!!!
There is one point where I wonder about myself as a parent... Jena allows her kids (that are in a serious relationship) sleep in the same room, have sex in her house.
DH and I had been dating for like 5 years and were engaged but my dad wouldn't allow us to stay in the same room, we were already living together for 5 years at that point... I wonder if I will remember that and let my kids stay in the same room?

On the "sleeping together" topic:
My brother just turned 18 and is in college. He has a new girlfriend who's 17 and a senior in high school who lives an hour away. Her mom is okay with them sleeping in the same room with the door closed. My mom is obviously not okay with it. The girlfriend decided she'd only go to a living history event w/ my brother if she could share a tent w/ him and my mom said no way. They're both pouting over it.
I'm so sucked into these shows it's sad! lol
I really feel bad for Jeana...it's apparent her boys treat her JUST like her husband did. She seems like such and oppinionated and motivated woman, I can't see how she puts up with their crap! If my kids talked to me like that you can bet the first thing I'd do is cut off their funds. Hit them where those spoiled brats hurt. And Lynne, she's just dumb. She's more of a friend than a parent. And Vicki talks a good game, but she's just as bad on the opposite spectrum...she smothers her children.
My mom and dad were very conservative, and didn't allow DH (then BF) and I to sleep in the same room in their house when we were already living together. But then, my mom also stopped talking to me for 4 months after I moved out and in with him! I can't say for sure what I'll do with my kids, but if they're older and solid and stable, I won't have a problem with it.

Wow. ?Shane is so good looking but the way he talks to his mom makes him ugly.

OK, my last contribution. ?;)
When I was 19, I had a 18-year old boyfriend. ?My mom allowed him to spend the night at their house occasionally. ?I am a respectful person and never "did" anything. ?He slept on the floor and I slept in the bed. ?My mom trusted me. ?I was a good kid. ?:)
My mom also allowed my brothers to drink at the house when they were <21. ?I never drank until I was 21, so that wasn't something I was interested in. ?But my brothers definitely would drink beers in the backyard with us when they were 18/19/20. Her mentality was "better in the house where they are safe than somewhere else where they might drink and drive."
