Now *that* is an accomplishment. My father lacked a WHOLE LOT in parenting skills, but I do have to give him credit for not passing on what he was brought up with. I do know that the older men in my father's life when he was growing up were mostly racist alcoholics... I do have to give credit where it is due as I was not raised to think those things were normal behaviours.
