I agree, and I will also add this:  Michael and Seonaid won my respect with
that letter.  I am firmly of the opinion that any parent who does not put
their children first does not deserve to have them.  For M&S to have
written that letter in the first place shows me that they have their
parental heads screwed on straight.  In fact, if they were not responsible
parents, I would be unable to consider them capable of being responsible
monarchs:  if you can't be true and faithful to an innocent, trusting
child, you can't be true and faithful to anyone. 

Lest anyone forget, parenting is THE most important job in this world.
Everything else comes in second.  That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
