    Which of these would be most difficult on you as a parent?

    I put this in The Foyer because of the religious services question. Which of the above would be most difficult for you to handle as the parent of a teenager? You can pick only one b/c it's about which one would be the most difficult.

    After 10 votes we have 20% who answered marching band. Funny thing is I really believe you. I voted sexually active.

      Why anyone would subject their kid to the marching band is beyond me! I still have mental scars from Mr. Johnston with his bull horn yell "left, left, left, right , left" Aghhh!

      Seriously, to me, all sins are created equal (except sins against children and murder). Sex is sex, be it gay, straight, animals, or what have you. Well...animals is pushing it, but you get the point. I would be dissapointed in my children for the choices they were making, but I would still love them...Band included.

                        The Church is OK with people in "F" being legally wed.

                        Still, with sleepovers deemed Satanic, marching bands could be next.
