Stop accepting that your elected representatives know more than you do about how you should raise you kids - especially if they are barren harridans who have never known the daily challenges and triumphs of parenthood. The truth is they don't.

Stop leaving it three years before you exercise your mandate - democracy isn't an occasion.
