Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam

I agree. It's not like we're dealing with 15 year olds here. These guys are 22 and 24 and they both apparently still live with mommy and daddy. I say tough love should be the route.

I agree that they are men and should take responsibility for their actions. Age however does not always dictate maturity. I am no expert nor did I observe their upbringing, but I do not feel that they were ever fully developed in the home by their parents. Therefore, they aren't truly adults, but 22 and 24 year old kids.

I somewhat agree with you, but how much do you attribute their attitude towards their father not being around much because he is a dedicated football coach? I believe that is a major part of the problem.

I think we are a product of our parents up to a certain extent. They can only guide you so much. Once you hit the age of free will (~15) it's all about how much self respect you have and the types you associate with. I can only imagine the kind of friends the Reids have.

Don't get me wrong, I think there's plenty of blame to go around but ultimately you have to have pride and respect yourself more than anything else.

My dad is a very successful guy, and wasn't around that much when I was a kid. I had a couple of bumps in the road, but nothing close to these GROWN MEN. They are screwing up in a BIG way. Lots of narcotics, guns, DWI's... The last thing that's gonna do them any good is someone making anymore excuses for them. Frankly these kids that grow up so privledged should accept the responsibility and turn into leaders, not people we make apologies for. I don't feel sorry for his son one bit. Straighten up pal. Welcome to life.

Also consider though that Reid has 3 more kids younger than this one. I wonder how those kids are (2 girls and a boy I think)

You are absolutely correct. It comes down to self respect and a strong mind against physical desires. Also if you are going to do drugs or drink, then don't get behind the wheel of a car. Plan on having everything you need or may want at the house before you get your fix.

Even more of a reason to set the standard: This stuff WILL NOT be tolerated. What kind of message does it send to the younger siblings if their older brothers can get away with this kind of shit and still have all of mommy and daddy's support??

I see your point and I agree, however if you or I turned out to be screw ups wouldn't our fathers feel the least bit responsible? I know that whenever my kids screw up I blame myself and punish them. So absolutely, they should not be coddled, but that type of parenting needed to be present all along and probably wasn't.

I wouldn't feel responsible if I did my duty as a parent. I would, however, feel sad.

Exactly as long as you feel that you did your part as the parent.

FYI these boys get whatever is comming to them by both the law and Andy. I was just saying that if I was Andy I would retire just to yank a knot in their asses.

On second thought I want him to retire for other reasons. I would never leave a job just to straighten out my kids so why should he. What it all comes down to is he needs to make the best decision for himself.
