TOD:

Today's parents don't seem to be teaching their kids "responsibility" and the consequences of their actions.

A neighbor's kid (18 years old) was given a new car for his birthday, Within a month, he had totaled it while drag racing on a public street. (Thankfully he wasn't hurt.) Last week, the father bought him another new car.

DR Jane, I would say that putting my hand over my niece's mouth helped more than asking her if she would like me to spoil a movie for her.

Actually she did say that she would not like it. For the most part I didn't mind if she told me a thing or two. IT's just a few times she wanted to go into greater detail and I just wanted to be surprised.

Good news on the great show last night!

My views on parenting: I'm glad I'm not one.

With Mickey Rooney gone, I think the last star alive of that magnitude from Hollywood's Golden Age is Olivia De Havilland, still hanging in at 98.

I had -- not one, but TWO -- totally separate -- crazy dreams from reading RED GOLD last night!

Woke up after the first one at three in the morning when I had to get up to answer nature's call. The second was before waking up this morning. In the first, the last chapter I'd started reading before falling asleep was employing the type of device BK used in WRITER'S BLOCK. The later dreams embellished on that and added a lot of "stuff" of my own. Absolutely zany. These were intense, the type of dream that, once you're awake, you have to check on things to make sure it WAS all a dream. And I checked chapter eleven this morning, just to be sure.

Monday morning greetings! This is the first morning since March 26 that I haven't had to be up and about for something and I enjoyed sleeping in 'til 9am. I'm puttering at my desk, catching up on some things I let slide while away.

Congratulations to BK and company on the success of Kritzerland 44!

DR Elmore, I loved your report about last night's MHF! I'm glad you were able to pick up a couple of Playbills - ours are kind of wrinkly because it was raining when we walked down 6th Avenue last Thursday evening.

Luise Rainer is also still around.

And, although they didn't come around until the mid-1940s, we still have Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall.

TOD - I am appalled at the parents who ventured on the around-the-world sailing adventure with their very young children. It's one thing for 2 adults to attempt something so risky, but taking toddlers along is just plain irresponsible. I think one of the biggest parenting mistakes is taking children places they're too young to appreciate, which is why our DS Rob didn't have a Disney experience until he was almost 11 and didn't visit Washington, DC and New York City until he was almost 14.

Today's topic is due to something that showed up on my newsfeed from dear reader Ann, who posted an article and asked for comments - I found the article to be everything that's wrong with parenting today - the stupidity of the article is beyond believe and it's why we've come to what we've come to. Here is a link to it:

http://naturalparentsnetwork.com/6-ways-to-gently-respond-to-a-tantrum/

And here was my comment:

I think this kind of parenting is what has caused a generation of confused, entitled, we can do anything we want because it's okay kids the likes of which has NEVER been seen before. Yes, let's all just coddle our children no matter how they behave. Why don't we just take this to an extreme, say the kid throws a tantrum, gets a knife and tries to stab someone - after all, "I love you" "everything's okay" touchy-feely stuff always works for bad behavior. It teaches the child nothing other than they will know they can get away with and do anything because it's "okay" with the folks. I don't think so. As a fellow parent, I am glad to have presented my thoughts. And I'm not talking about kids who have real problems - that's something wholly other. I'm talking about typical childish tantrums. Oh, and it's not just kids anymore - the kids who were raised like this still throw tantrums well into their teen and adult years because they learned their lessons oh so well.

Good morning, all.

Congratulations on a great show. Can I request specifically a video of Sandy singing one of my favorites, "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most"? I can almost hear her sing it, but I'd rather hear it for real.

John G. · « **Reply #44 on:** April 07, 2014, 08:48:41 AM »

Very envious of all you MHF viewers. I hope someone on that bootleg video site has taped that.

I've been reading all these great reviews of "The Realistic Joneses," which opened last night, and hope that someone records that show. The quotes that the critics have mentioned have been uniformly wonderful, kind of Beckett in an Albee blender.

Beckett in an Albee Blender - that's the title of my next novel - the short version of which is Beckabee

I agree with the rest of yez about the parenting issues -- which I know is very easy for me to say, having never had kids or having to be responsible for any.

DR ELMORE....they thought Rooney would make it all about Rooney...and then they got Eddie Bracken.....poking around in the same barrel in my opinion.

In one particular interview Bracken said that a lot of his scenes were cut out of SUMMER STOCK and THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK because he was "too funny" in them......
