We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.
Brigham Young

I really don't like this quote that keeps circling around. It's saying that we shouldn't allow our kids to cut, but then again it's also critizing us for cutting. How rude! Anyone else agree with me?

But would you really want your kids to cut? It critisizes us but still, I'd never want my kid to replicate my actions. Especially if they're negative

I don't agree with everything Brigham Young spouted, but this one makes sense. Why be a hypocrite? I certainly don't WANT my daughters to cut but my oldest knows I did and if either of mine ever do I'll know about it and deal with it. No sense playing the martyr.

anythings rude if you think about it long enough no?

i took a philosophy class that suggests a way for ppl to find there own morals in a similar way..."if you wouldn't teach a child to do it, then don't" it's easy to say,.....but damn hard to do!! i could never live up to that one
grrrness....

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
