Parenting and Hunting – What Message Am I Sending?

Part of the reason I’m able to write for a living is that I make money from advertising and commission on sales from links to Amazon and Ebay from HubPages, where I write primarily on parenting topics. My sales report from Amazon typically includes titles like What to Expect When You’re Expecting and lots of Dr. Sears. The occasional body pillow. Maybe a board game. These all make sense.

What is a mystery was my highest profit item last month: a hardwood hunting bow. I’m not complaining mind you; the commission was over $10.

I write occasionally on discipline, and it could be argued that I’m rather strict. But I’m going on record here to let you know that I never, under ANY circumstances, endorse bow hunting of children. Beating with a stick, sure, but leave the heavy equipment out of it.
