Responsible person?

.
On a recent form I had to fill out for Meg it asked for:

"Name of parent or responsible person"


I was so relieved they gave me the choice...

  1. LOL I've seen that on forms too. It used to be parent or guardian, I wonder why they changed it.

  2. :D Perhaps it's because people like me try hard not to be responsible for their own actions?

  4. Hi Kim,

    SO glad they give you such a choice! Who makes out these forms? Did you choose the “Parent” or the “Responsible person”?

    I remember on some employment forms where the category was “Sex” instead of “Gender”; I was seriously considering entering a date. But I chickened out.

    lol

  5. This may be why people have two parents - it increases the chances of one of them being a responsible person. Anyway, when asked if I'm the responsible person my first natural instinct is to say, "it wasn't me!"

  6. Kate - it always used to be "guardian" which is why it caught me by surprise :)

    FLG - but you're not a parent either, so run, be free, cause mayhem - you can settle down later

    Savannah - aye, 'tis a great book. You'll love it :)

    Doug Dog - well I HAD to choose parent...

    Sandy - yup, it was the dog..

    Pat - without a doubt :)

  7. Sini - :)

    Debra - realistically, "Parent" was the only option

  8. That one would have made me hesitate too -- especially at the present time!
