While I agree with Kelly's comment to an extent, I think there are a few worse things than some off-color language in a blog: 1. Paris Hilton 2. Reality TV shows that glorify greed and self-absorption 3. The E! "news" network That's the short list. I would argue that excessive interest in any of the above might constitute at least an equal lack of self-control. We're all guilty of loss of self-control at some point, but it doesn't necessarily diminish our accomplishments and competency as parents. Congratulations on the nomination!

That’s the short list. I would argue that excessive interest in any of the above might constitute at least an equal lack of self-control.

We’re all guilty of loss of self-control at some point, but it doesn’t necessarily diminish our accomplishments and competency as parents.

What kind of world is this when the top nominees refer to their children as (use your imagination here) anuses, "little" fornicators, and the like. Are we all still so stuck in high school that we find it titillating when someone uses the F word as much as Gordon Ramsay? I say you're not a parent until you have self-control. Before that, you're just a zygote donator. Exactly.
