Do we dare go after the holiest of institutions, that bastion of reverence known as Motherhood and Fatherhood? Do we take a chance ticking off the entire world? After all, we're either a mother or a father or a son or a daughter. . . . Are we, indeed, on â€œShaky ground?â€ Have we finally gotten to the one thing that we shouldnâ€™t poke fun at? Is the sanctity of our home life the one untouchable?,Nah,Throughout the ages, the one constant in literature, music, film, politics, and life has been the love/hate relationship we have with our parents or kids. Whether weâ€™ve sucked up to them to get what we want or weâ€™ve ignored and alienated them; family is the cornerstone for the majority of headaches that we deal with on a daily basis. We love them, we hate them, we resent them, we loathe them . . . but unfortunately, no matter what, they still show up on Thanksgiving and eat the big turkey leg.,With that said, whatâ€™s a better gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents Dayâ€”hell any dayâ€”where you can tell your â€œloved onesâ€ exactly how you feel.,But one word of caution. . . . Be careful. They know all your deep, dark secrets.
