@PNS I hate to say it, but many of our decisions as parents these days (myself included) create weak children by not making them cover more responsibility. The world is a tough place even when times are good, surviving in bad times is a psychological exercise as much as anything. Tough love sometimes is needed to learn hard lessons you wouldn't otherwise get. But in that scenario, at least a person who ultimately does care is involved.

They teach their kids how to be little sophists for its own demonstration sake.

?? Humpleupagus ?? (humpleupagus@eveningzoo.club)'s status on Friday, 08-Nov-2024 21:54:06 JST ?? Humpleupagus ?? We home school, we draw bright lines, and never allow the kids to end run by going to the other parent — we always support each other's decisions. So my kids are fairly well behaved. Thus, it's really apparent and surprising when other kids aren't. Not surprising in that I don't expect it, but surprising in that it's easily avoidable yet people to take the simple steps required. -

we behaved for the most part. 😆 -

Everyone told my parents, "OMG your kids are so well behaved."
It was the belt, sure. But we were very well behaved. You could take us anywhere.
