If I was your mom, I would have smacked you for calling me a fool:')

Heh, who's to say I did not get smacked. :-)

I tend to be frank and blunt (though diplomatic when I need to be), and do not treat my parents any different than others in that regard. If they make a decision that seems particularly stupid (and their lives are a long string of poor choices IMO), I give them my opinion in an effort to help them make better choices. I'm not a jerk about it and their choices have not affected me for a long time in any case, so it is really just a public service pointing out what should have been obvious to them.

It is alright though, they practically expect it from me because I've been like this for a very long time. :-)
