She does what she says and does what she believes, unless being a hypocrite has some new definition I'm not aware of. I never knew "hypocrite" meant having a policy difference with someone.
No doubt, Vendzilla, you influenced your daughter in positive ways (Happy Fathers Day next Sunday) but in the end the choices your daughter made were hers to make. Had your daughter made a poor choice in her life, it wouldn't have been a reflection on your parenting or your efforts. How many times have you seen in good families siblings being polar opposites from each other and they have the same parents? The reason that happens is kids are individuals and some will grow up and make stupid choices. Even the best parents in the world can have kids who turn out bad. A kid's poor choices should never label parents as automatically being hypocrites or them being poor parents!

Most parents these days phone in their parenting, they don't have the time or just don't make the time to be a parent, people that are religious are usually the worse, they have no flexibility, others forgot what it was like when they were kids. I never did, maybe why I like cartoons still at my age. I read to my kid till she could read better than me at night at bedtime. I was always asking her what her thoughts were about something, making it so that her opinion mattered to me, and when it was something i had a problem with, I told her, because we discussed most things, it was easy. I still had strick rules, I met all her friends and told her why, I talked to the parents of her friends. I visited their house. I met all her teachers and helped get one fired. And god helped the idiots that harassed her on the way to school one day, I got a phone call, found the kids and well, they didn't bother anyone again. I just got $100 to the defensive tackle of the football team, told the kids he was on call and would beat the shit out of them if I call him for any reason!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
