it's better to lay down the rules and know where your kids are and what their doing then to not know and have something horrible happen to them. sadly it was a tragedy that could of been prevented. farm ville should not be more important then your child's life. and classic is right people need to take responsibilities for their actions. your child dies under your watch you can't turn back time and say your sorry. you have to look in the mirror and realize you did something so horrible you can never undo. you pretty much took the life of your child and destroyed it and live with that emptiness.

I have to say those who had the hardest work ethic wen I was a kid brought upon 1 on me.
My mother is a person who things things need to be done on time, or ahead of time and you should be at least 15 minutes early for a meeting or for work and there are no exceptions. *short of car trouble or unforeseen happenings* but not just be late because you think its unimportant to be on time. She instilled that upon me.
My father wasn't as punctual but he was a do it right take no short cuts and cut no corners person. He instilled that upon me.
Both of my parents are/were people who believe[d] that everything has to be worked for and nothing just comes to you. If you want something you have to go get it.
Even as I kid I knew if I got home from school there would be a list of things I was expected to have done by dinner time. Once in a while there would be no such list. If 2 or 3 days happened without a list, there was a big list coming! That's what had to happen if I was to have time to go places with my friends to games to movies or whatever might be the case.
I still have that attitude. I still believe that before I can relax I should take care of unfinished work. I can't easily relax to this day if there's things that should be done first.

that's good that your always on time. there are some people who think it's no big deal to show up 5 minutes late to work alot. I would rather be early because in retail you can't be 30 seconds late. just like with friends I am really good with plans and don't believe in canceling unless I have to. the last weekend of Dorey park I had to walk through that October snowstorm to meet my friends because the roads were so bad. I walked 2 hours to get to the shopping center because my area was full of trees and the ice was bringing them down. I had frostbite when I saw my friends but that night we laughed about it. it is important to be on time for things. I had a so called friend ditch me when we had plans for a concert over something stupid. I think it's incredibly rude when people do that.

People who are fashionably late are also the same people who wonder why they get passed over for pay raises and are not given added responsibility. They wonder why someone who has not been with the company as long is being promoted before them.
In the real world there are some perks for seniority but mostly its what you can get done that gets you through it.
