36. I don't know why most of you are jumping on Placebo
first of all, his dad is seriously over the top, if those quotes are accurate.

Secondly, it strikes me that Placebo is probably more than old enough and capable enough to get food for himself if and when he gets hungry.

We have an only child who is younger than Placebo and if she doesn't want what we are having or isn't hungry, then she can figure it out for herself later as long as she cleans up her own mess in the kitchen.

What's the big deal? His dad needs to lay off.
