So now governor wants to parent our children

Governor Barnes wants to move into my spare bedroom so that he can parent my children. He does not think that I can determine when my four daughters are responsible drivers so he wants to take over my job.

I am the one who will teach them to drive. I will decide who drives my cars and when. Since no one knows their responsibility levels and personalities better than I do, it is I who should determine when they drive.

I want the governor to know that I have been using my spare bedroom as an office and intend to continue doing so. His interest in my children is political, not personal. If he really cared about my girls he would let me be their daddy and him be their governor.
