Mormons Are Christian of NC 8:29AM May 14, 2008

It's hard for parents to live in the "do as I say" authority role that the kids need while also telling the same kids the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about EVERYTHING and all the time. But I tend to think that doing more of the latter makes the kids far more receptive to the former.
