Why POS?

I've had a few people ask about the name of my blog spot--Parent Over Shoulder (POS). I took it from the acronym that teens use to warn fellow IMers that a parent is standing over their shoulder and not to type anything incriminating. Well, I thought about this and I believe that we all should conduct ourselves as if a parent were standing over our shoulder. In other words, don't act in such a way that we wouldn't want our Parent looking over our shoulder. Now, you might think that this leads to a restricting lifestyle, always worrying about what others think--quite the contrary! It's liberating to know that our behavior doesn't have to adjust according to the people around us if we have a standard that we uphold all the time, even when we think no one is looking. So, I look at the phrase Parent Over Shoulder not as a warning, but as a reminder.
