Do you call your parents and thank them that you aren’t a lazy drug addict? That your aren’t a prostitute?

When is the last time you wrote a “thanks for not letting get eaten by a shark” card?

Parents don’t get thanked for things that didn’t happen. If you are waiting around for that, you’re in the wrong care taking business!

Did you read what GP said?

> And now their kids are unmanageable and ours thank us for shielding them.

I'm not looking for thank-you's, I'm just looking to understand what GP meant when he said his kids thanked him.
