This is the first generation to grow up on Thatcher - it's a different ethos. It's money minded, and it's the cult of yourself.

My daughter is very strong-willed and is a great kid. She doesn't drink. She doesn't smoke. She doesn't fold to peer pressure.

She realizes the more people she is exposed to that kids who have both parents around grow up to be much better people. ↗
