.: culture : mash :.

I always used to say that if I ever did have kids, I’d need to raise them just messed up enough for them to come out healthy and self sufficient.

Why? Because I was raised lovingly and kindly, and I’m a fucking mess.

Apparently, the French are already way on top of this.

There’s a really interesting article in the Telegraph , which tries to explain why strict and sometimes considered mean parenting from the French, can result in well raised members of society.

I wonder if Dina Lohan, Lynn Spears, or Kathy Hilton ever picked up on French child rearing principals while stuffing their faces with baguette and buying handbags worth down payments on one of their numerous visits to the city of lights?

nahhh…
