    Lemon Laws: 7 Things "30 Rock" Taught Me About Parenting

    I can't stop crying about the 30 Rock series finale. But we all know how Liz Lemon feels about crying, (there, there, awkward pat) so I'm going to shut down my sadness by focusing on the instructive, life-affirming moments of the last 7 years of the show, like Jack Donaghy holding Walt Disney's frozen head in his hands. 30 Rock had lots to say to and about women in the work place and at home and there will never be anything so brilliantly self-aware again. But 30 Rock has even more to say about life, family, and raising kids. Here are a few things I've learned from the show. - By Kacy Faulconer

      You Probably Won't Ruin Your Kids As parents, we agonize over every little thing. Sometimes we lack perspective. In the long run, we probably won't totally ruin our kids.

      You Probably Won't Ruin Your Kids As parents, we agonize over every little thing. Sometimes we lack perspective. In the long run, we probably won't totally ruin our kids. Jack Donaghy was raised by a loveless, controlling mother and doesn't even know who out of 3 choices fathered him-and he grew up to run NBC! Look at Tracy Jordan. He persevered after his dad went out for cigarettes and never came back. Bottle or breast? Who cares? Of course, I don't want to minimize the importance of a father figure in your child's life. As Liz learned from her Sims family, when a child doesn't see his father enough he starts to jump up and down, then his mood level will drop until he pees himself. less
