[…] The first time my alma mater got our school banned from Disneyland was in 1961. Someone in my class brought dynamite to school, and I knew plenty of folks who carried. (I didn’t know back then, they told me later). People had sex in school! Anyone who can walk and is ever allowed out of their parents’ eyesight for more than an hour (including time when they’re theoretically at school) can make the wrong choice.

My niece was the helpful one in the family. Two babies, the first born about five seconds after she graduated HS. Thanks for the “why”!

I meant that I think you have to stuff “why” down their throats. You can get anything here, if you want it – and when most kids choose to get stuff is between the hour school gets out and the time their folks get home. Heroin. Slaves. Sex? Hello – military town. Shrek in a tutu can get laid here. So I have a lot of “this is why I push you – so you have options”. “See that lady over there? The one who can’t walk in a straight line?” “Are these the choices you want to make???” Here are your books, study hard. You like coding? Learn more!!

But the attitude of the normals (who have been infected with SJW) is more like, “Well Buffy likes girls (this week) and we’re trying to be supportive of that”. “Buffy wants to be called Butch now”. “I told her that she doesn’t have to wait for marriage unless she wants to” “We haven’t made any rules about dating…” -headdesk- “Just be honest and open with me”. You’re supposed to fear your parents wrath – aren’t you? All anyone cares about is that their kids get into college. You can have the character of a rabid chihuahua and that still counts as parenting win.

I guess I spend so much time now with the TC community and … you know, sane people? That when I bop over to “normal” land, it makes my head hurt. Oh well. They keep moving the bar down like this and our kids will cross over it without noticing. Thanks for making “exceptional” = “decent human being”.

Erk. For some context, when my oldest was about 14 one of the first XV rugby players (think football, but rugby is more important) at his school (did I mention this school wins national sporting competitions? Important person at school) died by his own hand because he had knocked up his GF and her family required he get a job and support her.

Consequences for actions? Seen. Discussed. Including “if you sleep with her you better be prepared to raise her kids, if you want to or not”. Including discussing with them how supporting daugther in dealing with her oldest who is far too precocious and a dancer (and pretty, a bad combination).

Do you let your 14 year old do what they want? Hell. No. You put the screws on them HARD. And tell them if they go to child protection (CYPS in NZ, Children’s Aid in Canada) the consequences will include leaving them open to predation for foster fathers and the local sleaze merchants, looking for recruits to fill the local stripper roster.

The elite want to shatter our families, leaving our children vulnerable. The answer to that is no.

Am a little bummed out about just that tonight. On a discussion board for parents of 14yos…. the discussion of dating/relationships (yes, really) seems to have gone to the land of the uber-tolerant, and I want to have a lie down with a cold compress. Where is the sanity? “He’s 14. He doesn’t need a girlfriend. But I’m not stupid enough to think I can control his behavior without impressing the ‘why’ upon him”. SIGH. I mean – I can’t. You can get anything in my town. Don’t have to look far. You *have* to get the kids to understand *why*, because they will be making the choices for themselves unless you’re handcuffing them to you day and night! I could tell you stories…. DH could tell you some **good** stories.

You don’t have to tolerate everything your kid does! Argh. I’m going back to the patio with my pattern-drafting. At least my facsimile of DH’s back makes sense.
