I don't either, but the moral issue got me thinking. I wasn't singling you out. In general, parents and grandparents like to boast of their children's development and achievements in life.

I can imagine a scenario of a dinner party with family and friends and the subject of children comes up. One says "My child is a doctor," another "My child is a lawyer." People would generally be impressed and possibly ask for a business card. Would the reception be the same if a parent proudly proclaimed "My child is a prostitute?" Would the parent feel good if all the men in the room asked for their child's business card? How would their wives react if the parent handed their husband a business card?

I'm not singling you out. I'm just in a pondering mood.
Thanks for this!
