MY KIND OF FAMILY VALUES

say whatever you want about the osbournes. look down your nose at them and their weirdness. say they’re crass. low class. whatever makes you feel like you’re better than they are. i respectfully disagree.

this is what family is. never give up. keep fighting the good fight.

we had friends tell us to cut jax loose. let him go as far as he wanted and deal with the consequences. even if it meant jail or death. oh well. his choice. whatever.

jax has been sober two years. jack osbourne has been sober one year. i’m rooting for kelly now and sending good thoughts and prayers the osbourne’s way. and virtual hugs to sharon.

TOTALLY UNRELATED: thanks for all your netflix comments. i feel i judged them too quickly, and we're trying again.

Here is my 2 cents:

I don't judge them because their kids do/did drugs... I judge them on their parenting skills and the fact that the adults behavior. Kids are still making their way thru life... the adults should have so sense to know that throwing CRAP over the wall into their neighbors yard is not an acceptable way to resolve conflict.

Its true what -d said. I always thought that the parents should have set a good example for those kids. I could not believe how the kids behaved at times. However, when the shit hits the fan, they stick together. There is definitely a very strong bond in that family.

I don't really know very much about them since I don't watch TV but I do know this:

They sure as hell seem to love one another and at the end of the day, as stupid as some of their stunts may have been (and part of me believes they ARE made for TV stunts)...isn't having a family that loves you all that really matters????

Stacey,

I have I ever told you how frickin awesome you and your family are? I love when you talk like this. *smooches*

1) I'm glad you are giving netflix another try.

2) I know what you mean about the Osbournes. I feel that way about the Simpsons. Many families can't stay together that long, and no matter how weird it gets, they all love each other and beat the crap out of anyone who gives any member problems. Homer and Marge are even faithful.
