There are few things that aggravate me more than people who hold others to a standard from which they exempt themselves. And parents are not the only culprits. If your (probably unspoken) credo is, “Do as I say, don’t do as I do,” it’s seldom long before your hypocrisy becomes apparent to others. If you refuse to do right by them, don’t be surprised when it comes back to bite you.
