A Leftwing Mother Seeks Advice About Her Leftwing Children from the Leftwing Atlantic

As you will soon see, leftism makes one thrive and prosper.

Dear Therapist: Should I Give My Adult Children More Money?

They're both angry at me, and I want to mend our relationship.

Dear Therapist,

My husband and I are both successful professionals. He's an attorney and I'm a nurse practitioner. Each of us came from a fairly lower-middle-class background and worked hard to get where we are. Our families helped us as much as they could, but for the most part we are self-made.

The hard part is our kids. Our son struggled with some mental-health issues in high school. He was a national merit scholar and eventually graduated from college. He's now obese, working for minimum wage, and living with his polyamorous nonbinary partner of 11 years. He's angry at us. We say nothing much of consequence to him and see them often and have a pleasant enough time.

Our daughter is also angry at us. She excelled in everything she did in high school and college, but had a serious rift with her sorority senior year and an abusive boyfriend; she moved to Seattle to be a barista and declared herself pansexual. She spends eight hours a day on Twitter railing at our homophobia and our control of her life.

The Atlantic Therapist's advice is simple: It's the parents' fault for being so transphobic.

And fatphobic.

[I] have a feeling that right now your children have a deep, unfulfilled need to be embraced and understood by their parents, and that's why they're angry. You know that both children are angry with you and your husband, but do you know why they have so much anger, and if so, how have you responded? For example, if your daughter says she feels that you try to control her life, or that you judge her for her sexual orientation, are you curious to learn more? Or do you defend yourself in a way that dismisses her complaints with something like "I'm not trying to control you--I'm trying to help you get your life on track" or "I'm not homophobic--I just think this is a reaction to what happened with your boyfriend and not really who you are'?

Your daughter probably takes to Twitter to express her anger because she feels that when she goes directly to you, she isn't being heard. Similarly, your perception that you "say nothing of consequence" when you see your son yet "have a pleasant-enough time" might indicate that you aren't aware of how he's truly feeling either. With so much anger (on his part) and anxiety (on yours and your husband's) roiling beneath the surface, these interactions sound at best hollow and superficial, and at worst emotionally torturous. Is time spent together really "pleasant enough" when he knows that you're disappointed with his career, his partner, and his weight, and find his life to be sad?

Leftism is a viral mental illness and we're about to start reaping a grim harvest of suicides and parent-shootings by an entire generation driven insane by this sickness.

16 So this family's story is 180 degrees away from my cousin's, who we laid to rest last week.

I was moved by the way his grandsons eulogized him ( they are teenagers!) and how deeply they will miss their grandfather. He and his wife cultivated an environment of love, nurturing, and teaching them some life skills that every civilized human should know: making homemade sausage and wine

Yes, Virginia there are actually real live families who thrive on mutual respect and caring, even in this sick po-mo world.

32 Don't get me wrong. Parenting ain't easy, and even the best of child-rearing can turn out spectacularly assholish kids. But at least give the kids a fighting chance, with some rules, some expectations of being a good human, and some discipline.

39 Most therapist suck. I see no advantage to "validating" their choices with cash or saying or trying to mend a rift with an abusive adult kid. The daughter is worse than the son here. If he has "mental health issues" he may have been pushed to take medication that helped along the obesity. I have never had anyone not gain weight on certain meds.

He needs a better doctor, she needs the parents to cut bait and not bribe her, because nothing will be enough.

Discovered something super interesting about Candace Owens last night.

You know she married into extravagant wealth, her new father in law is an English peer, right? Well turns out he is a Christian Conservative who started a movement in England to keep families together because he saw the destruction of the nuclear family as the source of much of the nation's ills.

It's rare to hear about super rich so-cons anymore. They're all usually corporatist soft marxists.



Posted by: kallisto at December 07, 2020 12:37 PM (DJFLF)

43 I rent out a guest house from a nice elderly couple. The other night we were sitting around their kitchen table drinking wine and talking about politics (both are Trump supporters), and the issue of the current generation of children and how angry/depressed/lazy they often are. I pointed out that they often had their entire lives planned and carefully controlled by moms and dads to ensure that the kids never failed at anything. Furthermore, mom and dad often set no boundaries, enforced no discipline. So you have a generation who are soft and spoiled, and who are afraid of failure. When they go out into the real world, they are completely unprepared for it.

48 This parent is the reason that so many leftist young people are so angry. They were promised happiness an fulfillment if they beloved certain things and loved a certain way. Now they're in their late 20s early 30s and they're alone, broke and miserable.

So of course they lash out. At parents, at society ans at the right. Because o e of the things that these parents taught them was how wonderful they were and how all of their problems are someone else's fault.

Things are tense between us because the prog kids are suffering from the poor choices we in part encouraged, but we're a bit put-off by their lifestyles even though we know it isn't too progressive for us to act that way.

Can we bribe them with money to overcome this tension?

You should give them money, yes, if you are able. But that will not solve the impasse. Work on your progressive purity and accept your children's choices. Once you accept those choices, continue to progress and *embrace* them or you're no better than a Trump supporter.

71 The most simple idea in parenting. "I'll love you no matter what, I'm not going to affirm every decision you make if I disagree with it."

Further on that idea "Just because we disagree doesn't mean I 'don't understand you', I may understand you fine and it is you who don't understand me. In a healthy relationship people accept disagreement even with personal decisions, because people are entitled to keep their own council, have a point of view and an opinion, so long as I'm not constantly badgering you, cutting you off, coercing you to change, etc etc you have no valid complaint."


A generation who can't make a decision and tolerate NOT to be actively affirmed by EVERYONE.

98 My wife's sister has mental issues, is getting divorced, is very obese, angry at her parents, angry at her former church, claims her uncle molested her (although her timeline suggests it's all in her head), decided she IS AntiFa, is now "dating" a trans man, etc.

If you talk to her at any length, it's very clear almost all of her angst stems from a very jaded and exaggerated view of her high school years. Standard sleights and parental frictions have blown up in her head to be world-ending, insurmountable obstacles that her parents MUST ANSWER FOR.

If it weren't for the fact that her children are affected, it would be comedic.

In other words, Male Female or Other. Hence, "pan"-sexual, or "all the sexes".

You know she married into extravagant wealth, her new father in law is an English peer, right? Well turns out he is a Christian Conservative who started a movement in England to keep families together because he saw the destruction of the nuclear family as the source of much of the nation's ills.

167 Dear Parent,

You raised your children. Your job is done.

The fact that your children now hate you is proof that you are doing the right thing. Sometimes verification of your rightness is not found in who loves you, but rather in who hates you.

Adolph Hitler probably didn't love his parents either.

If you want to signal your concern for your daughter, who is pansexual, send her a frying pan and a dildo with a Peter Pan sticker on it with a note that says "Merry Christmas! Go fuck yourself with either of these pans! Love, Mom."

I'd recommend a Tinkerbell butt plug for your fat son along with a bag of flour for his partner.

You may be able to find a Peter Pan dildo and Tinkerbell butt plug as a gift set on the Disney website.

Sincerely,

Dr. Bitter Clinger, Psychologist

++++++++++++
It comes down to misery, I think, yes. There isn't any real bigotry and they know it - so they have to invent it. The demand for bigotry (sexual, racial, whatever) far outstrips its supply.

It's an internal problem. A well-adjusted (as much as is possible) gay guy understands that he has made an abnormal lifestyle decision and has judged that, on balance, he is happier having made it. These people, though, are different. They've made abnormal lifestyle decisions and resent that they are abnormal. Their decisions need to be normalized to pull them out of their fugue states. Thus everything becomes bigotry and attacks against them - any mention or belief that they are abnormal cracks up their world view.

190 I'm all for parents giving money to the kids if they're worth it.

We bought a small breakfast and lunch restaurant for our daughter and son in law. It had only made the previous owner about $60,000 a year, but after owning it for 3 years, our daughter (with a ton of hard work) made $225,000 last year. Once all this Covid shit goes away, I'm sure she'll do even better with the loss of a lot of competitors.

I had to support my son for 8 months while he looked for a new job recently. It was tough as employers in his field (IT) played games and interviewed for fun and practice. Finally, he got 3 offers within a week and ended up taking $100K+ salary, international travel and 90% work at home position.

Invest in your kids. They're going to be the ones to pick your nursing home.

Yes. Though they also need some form of bigotry, real or imagined, to explain both why they are unhappy but also to show how much they are struggling and it compares to the struggles with others in the past.

In other words, Male Female or Other. Hence, "pan"-sexual, or "all the sexes".

I encountered once a woman whose husband identified as omni-sexual, which I believe is just pan-sexual before they changed the name.

Apparently the guy would bang anything...anyone, and was more than willing to be so banged as well.

She didn't know what to do. All I could suggest was, don't expose yourself to his body fluids. Wasn't my place to tell her to get as far away from him as possible.

Oh, and he was an LA cop. She said all his buddies on the force were the same as her husband.

200 167 Dear Parent,

You raised your children. Your job is done.

The fact that your children now hate you is proof that you are doing the right thing. Sometimes verification of your rightness is not found in who loves you, but rather in who hates you.

Adolph Hitler probably didn't love his parents either.

If you want to signal your concern for your daughter, who is pansexual, send her a frying pan and a dildo with a Peter Pan sticker on it with a note that says "Merry Christmas! Go fuck yourself with either of these pans! Love, Mom."

I'd recommend a Tinkerbell butt plug for your fat son along with a bag of flour for his partner.

You may be able to find a Peter Pan dildo and Tinkerbell butt plug as a gift set on the Disney website.

Sincerely,

Dr. Bitter Clinger, Psychologist

201 A federal judge threw out a lawsuit Monday that relied on conspiracy theories to try to invalidate Georgia's election results that showed Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten dismissed the lawsuit, which was bought by former Trump attorney Sidney Powell in an attempt to decertify Georgia's election.

"They want this court to substitute its judgment for the 2.5 million voters who voted for Biden," Batten said in court in Atlanta. "This I'm unwilling to do."

The decision leaves Georgia's election intact, supporting state officials' statements that there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

I wouldn't disown him or kick him out of the house.

I'd suck it up (no pun intended)...grit my teeth and say 'no, that's fine...' (I guess I don't need to be a grandfather) when he asked how I felt about it, and I'd put a hammer into the skull of anyone who tried to hurt him.

But...

I'd also ask him 'Son, are you absolutely SURE you're gay? I mean, have you really *tried* sex with a woman? You don't want to rush into the whole gay sex thing. I mean, you can do the whole Christina Hendircks zaftig thing or the Audrey Hepburn waif thing. Your choice.'

204 These kids were raised under the Narrative set by democrat media/entertainment that "nerds are the coolest" and "smart is sexy" and these two "kids" thought that their "intelligence" would net them the popular cheerleader or quarterback of their dreams in the future. Instead the guy found all that would give him the time of day is a "nonbinary" and the girl was so desperate she had to declare herself "pansexual". Unless they are super wealthy, a fat ugly guy isn't getting anything good. Even if they are super wealthy, a fat ugly girl might be forced into lesbianism/pansexualism (see Lena Dunham), because any reasonable looking guy couldn't be paid enough for that long-term.

219 I think this letter is real.

So, here I am. Not exactly rich enough for private schools for my kids, so I work hard and my husband works REALLY hard and we scrimp and save to do it.

For a long time he was like "why are we doing this!??!" because he went to (excellent) public schools back in the day. I lived closed to Philly, mostly in Philly, so I went to Catholic and then private schools - you had to basically.

For most of my kids' tenures at school we did feel kind of dumb about the expense. It was another house! International travel! Fancy cars! Not having the school payments - man.

BUT NOW. TODAY. WHEW.

we realized looking around as our kids are getting ready to go to college that it was SO WORTH IT. many many MANY of my friends who have kids same age and sent them to either public school or non-religious private have trans kids now. it's INSANE. their kids all have mental illnesses, and are on meds. if you look at my kids, then theirs? I mean. hello Overtone and piercings. and the weight. that part I don't understand. it must be the meds. yes my kids play sports but I never did and I was a stick and not skinny fat either. 16 year olds in the main should not be so .... smooshy. it's scary stuff.

anyway - not only that but with the school closures wow. we are extremely pleased with our investment right now.

we always went against the grain of most people around here - and these are rich professionals in the Main Line area - and thank the LORD for it now. Thank God I am a natural contrarian!

all that money - my kids are normal and happy, even with the COvID garbage.

whew.

But before I get to how screwed up our kids are, I think it is important that you know we are pretty awesome successful people who did it all on our own. Plus our kids were superstars when they lived under our roof.

Fortunately, it looks like that jolt is almost upon us. Sucks for us and more so for these physiological damaged cretins.


this is very true.

kids just don't have freedom. it's terrible.

we have a little cabin and go up a lot. it's in a tiny town and it's like time stood still there. the kids all get on their bikes or on the ATVs depending on the time of year and they're OFF. we don't see them except here and there until dinner.

also the weird PRESSURE now. there are so many odd things. like college pressure. it makes no sense to me! parents are WAY too invested. I made my own college decisions my parents delegated that to me! I did that with my oldest but I am definitely the only parent I know who did that. so she's going local which was her choice and everyone looks down on that. whatever! its idiotic.

257 I encountered once a woman whose husband identified as omni-sexual, which I believe is just pan-sexual before they changed the name.

Apparently the guy would bang anything...anyone, and was more than willing to be so banged as well.

She didn't know what to do. All I could suggest was, don't expose yourself to his body fluids. Wasn't my place to tell her to get as far away from him as possible.

Oh, and he was an LA cop. She said all his buddies on the force were the same as her husband.

Sounds like a woman i know who is upset all the guys she meets are seriously almost only interested in sex, and many of them have a bunch of STD's.

She still beds them of course, but is mad they aren't terribly faithful and just sleep around when given the opportunity.

Our conversation about what she could do when he new beau just wanted to use her like a sex friend left me feeling like a grade school teacher trying to explain something very basic, but instead of talking to a 6 year old I was talking to a 26 year old with no more comprehension on the situation.

Lorraine's father: "He's an idiot. His parents are probably idiots, too. Comes from upbringing. Lorraine, you ever have kids like that, I'll disown you."

The delicious irony and source of humor is that Marty was Lorraine's son, although no one knew it at the time.

283 Patent US20200279585A1
System and Method for Testing for COVID-19

Abstract

A method is provided for acquiring and transmitting biometric data (e.g., vital signs) of a user, where the data is analyzed to determine whether the user is suffering from a viral infection, such as COVID-19. The method includes using a pulse oximeter to acquire at least pulse and blood oxygen saturation percentage, which is transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone. To ensure that the data is accurate, an accelerometer within the smartphone is used to measure movement of the smartphone and/or the user. Once accurate data is acquired, it is uploaded to the cloud (or host), where the data is used (alone or together with other vital signs) to determine whether the user is suffering from (or likely to suffer from) a viral infection, such as COVID-19. Depending on the specific requirements, the data, changes thereto, and/or the determination can be used to alert medical staff and take corresponding actions.

287 The parents probably also believe the HW lie of perfect parenting and are feeling a lot of guilt. "oh if only we had juggled things better and spent more time at home with the kids they'd be just fine now."

Well schools are making kids mentally ill but you didn't realize at the time. You sent both kids to college and if they both decided coasting along in a no thinking required minimum wage job was easier that is their choice. You might write wills leaving your assets to a charity and send the kids copies with letters explaining "we feel that you may be hobbling yourselves in expectation that someday you'll be heirs, so we are removing this hobble that we never had as young adults."

You know how every TV show now has at least 1 gay couple? It's the same thing. In reality gays are 2-5% of the population, but if you only went by what you see in the media you'd think it was 30-40%.

338 Dear Parents,

There are some therapists who would more than happy to introduce you and your children to a new therapy in which a sharp fork is raked across their heads to simulate the abortion they really wished you had performed. This therapy has worked so well that some parents and children have reconciled and the family unit is once again intact in the parent's home.
If this is not optimal there is little left to advise except:
You should immediately apologize to your children for irresponsibly bringing them into the world. Once your apology is accepted transfer your retirement savings to them so they understand you are sincere.
Then and only then as all good boomer age parents should do, make expeditious plans to end your life. Your kids will appreciate the sacrifice for Gaiea and her limited resources.

Most sincerely,
Ima Wreck

Lorraine's father: "He's an idiot. His parents are probably idiots, too. Comes from upbringing. Lorraine, you ever have kids like that, I'll disown you."

The delicious irony and source of humor is that Marty was Lorraine's son, although no one knew it at the time.

Lord only knows what % it is in other boards I refuse to look at. This is less than 1% of the population? And it's got so much traction that there's even TV commercials?

What is the left's fixation on 1% of the population? Not just them, but the >1% who may/may not succumb to covid. The wealthy 1%. The 1% temperature increase over the last 500 years. The 1% of the population that actually voted for Joe.

And now, it's the bestest kind of virtue signal ever to convert your kid's sex. Something to brag about over box wine and bridge. "Bradly picked up his big sister's Barbie doll last week and started playing with it, and I just knew it was a cry for help..."

And the pronoun thing is totally out of control. I am SO fucking glad I no longer run a business or employ people. In one of my previous lives, I'd say maybe half of my employees were gay. Back then they were sane. Now? I'd get my fucking ass sued off in CA for using the wrong pronoun. Well, I would refuse to use any pronoun so there's that...

You're right. We're going to start to see just what this has done to an entire generation who discover that there's no guarantees for happiness in life, after being promised so.

You know how every TV show now has at least 1 gay couple? It's the same thing. In reality gays are 2-5% of the population, but if you only went by what you see in the media you'd think it was 30-40%.


In the past, you'd be right. However, this crap is spreading in middle schools and high schools all over the land. All of those fat, boring kids that used to go goth or scene or metalhead but were mostly pretending so they would seem interesting are now trans or pan or otherkin or whatever.

Look at the number of "transgenders" arrested at the Portland protests, and the number of "transgenders" who are Antifa "journalists" in Portland.

Encouraging people to take offense at everything, and telling people who are very, very unhappy that it's society's fault that they are unhappy has a political objective.

378 Or maybe the parents did the best they could, but this warped culture in which we live was a terrible influence on them.

Not every parent has the benefit of projecting into the future how their kids will be affected by the bullshit with which they're inundated, and most parents simply aren't equipped with the skills or the resources to combat it. If they could, which, if you haven't noticed, is pretty f'n overwhelming at times.

No doubt the parents bear SOME responsibility, as we know parenting has a deep, lifelong effect on their children. However, I draw the line at abuse/neglect versus everything else.

So if your parents are douchebag lefties, then yeah, it's going to affect you, but as long as it wasn't abuse, I'm going to leave that alone.

390 Here, let Miley Cyrus explain it:

"I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age," she told Paper magazine. "Everything that's legal, I'm down with. Yo, I'm down with any adult -- anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me. I don't relate to being boy or girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to boy or girl."


"I think when I figured out what it was. I went to the LGBTQ center here in L.A., and I started hearing these stories. I saw one human in particular who didn't identify as male or female. Looking at them, they were both: beautiful and sexy and tough but vulnerable and feminine but masculine. And I related to that person more than I related to anyone in my life. Even though I may seem very different, people may not see me as neutral as I feel. But I feel very neutral. I think that was the first gender-neutral person I'd ever met. Once I understood my gender more, which was unassigned, then I understood my sexuality more. I was like, "Oh -- that's why I don't feel straight and I don't feel gay. It's because I'm not."

I'm astounded (well maybe not) when I learn about people I've never heard of, who have millions of followers on YT and IG, they're 18 and filthy rich. What do they do? They play video games, talk about them, or react to movies or other completely useless bullshit. But, they're so narcissistic they think even taking a dump is a life-altering event and livestream it. Sadly, 2 million people are tuned in to watch close ups of the streaming steamer. 2 million people that vote (or will).

in it before we won through. We can't expect this fight to be like the
Iraq War; WWII is probably a better parallel. We've just got to suck it
up and keep fighting."

In intensity WW2 is a better parallel, BUT the warfare is internal, and mostly PsyOp in nature. The 60 year "march through our institutions" is maybe half of it, but the globalist nature of our monetary system is a whole 'nuther level of arbitrage and leveraged up hedge fund warfare.


We did not "sell them the rope with which they would hang us". We bought them the rope, and continue to fund them. "The Rope" was the military industrial complex, but that morphed into Google Central (and the other BigTechs) ... along with World Banking TooBigToFail banks that are above our laws (as they launder cartel money).


WW2 we were presented with a clear enemy ... but now we fight our neighbors that are amalgamated into the PC Think Borg. Accept Global Warming or be fired ... was an early test version of their powers, now extended to LGBTQ craziness, and mask compliance orders ...


The war is clear to us here at AOS HQ, and to a lesser extent the 60% that voted Trump ... (that landslide was negated by PsyOp weapon deployed, a virtual DeathStar). Red Pilling is our best weapon, so far. Maybe SCOTUS, maybe white hats on the inside ...

438 U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten dismissed the
lawsuit, which was bought by former Trump attorney Sidney Powell in an
attempt to decertify Georgia's election.

"They want this court to
substitute its judgment for the 2.5 million voters who voted for
Biden," Batten said in court in Atlanta. "This I'm unwilling to do."

The
decision leaves Georgia's election intact, supporting state officials'
statements that there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

No matter what the evidence is these bastards will rule based on their politics and nothing else. I love how they throw in widespread fraud. I guess it was just small time fraud.

Sounds like a woman i know who is upset all the guys she meets are seriously almost only interested in sex, and many of them have a bunch of STD's.

She still beds them of course, but is mad they aren't terribly faithful and just sleep around when given the opportunity.

Our conversation about what she could do when he new beau just wanted to use her like a sex friend left me feeling like a grade school teacher trying to explain something very basic, but instead of talking to a 6 year old I was talking to a 26 year old with no more comprehension on the situation.

I tend to see these things as a triangle. On one point is you, on another point is the person/people with whom you are interacting. On the third point is the behaviors this person is doing.

All we ever have any control over is us on our one point. We don't control the other two, we only control how we respond to them, so... if you don't like the behavior, ask the person to change (or find somebody else). If they won't, so be it. You're done there. Now all you can do is take care of you.

Getting all wrapped up in what the other person(s) is doing ain't going to solve your problem.

443 Does the "Influencer" live in a van down by the river?

Posted by: Ordinary American at December 07, 2020 01:28 PM (H8QX8)

444 As a child grows up, they pretty much all seem to get that "human condition" feeling where they start to feel that their life has no meaning. You exist, but you never asked to exist.

Normal civilization's answer has been, "Yeah. It doesn't have meaning. You're not special. You want to be special? You want your life to mean something? Then DO something. MAKE it mean something, by accomplishing something." Typically, that "something" was having a family or fighting in a war or starting a business or inventing something or whatever.

The point is, that life-angst is not a disease to be cured. It is the natural prompting in the human heart to DO something. Instead, it gets perverted and twisted around as an urge to BE something that you are not: i.e. To pretend.

So rather than learn how to be good at something, or devote your life to serving others, you just announce that you're a purple unicorn with seven dicks and an eating disorder, and suddenly, ta-DA!.... you're "Special".

Posted by: SMOD at December 07, 2020 01:06 PM (3aI0K)


That's a published patent application, not an issued patent. Big difference. Many applications never see the light of day as issued patents. It'd be like propositioning Kate Upton.

This published application claims priority back to other applications, the earliest filed in 2015 and directed to biometric data generally.

This joker has filed four continuations or continuations-in-part since May. He has two issued patents in this family, both of which are drawn to use of biometric data, and neither of which of course mentions Covid.

We watched the DoJ run the clock on Hillary, refuse to indict the FISA conspirators, and allow a 2y opposition research op on Trump by Mueller. We were insulted for not buying the nonsense that Sessions, Rosenstein, and Barr were just one crossed t from solving the problem and sending the bad guys to jail. We were called pants shitters, spoiled Veruca Salts who couldn't be patients, and last week someone announced he hoped he could watch me die while he was eating nachos.

I agree that the BArr will save the day in the nick of time was wish casting and fiction. Q also was an op and not on our team at all. He calmed anger that was healthy and should have been healthily acted on.

But then suggested family therapy to see why the parents aren't supportive enough of their kids life choices. That's more expected.
Maybe college kids shouldn't try to stand out by adopting weird sexual fetishes as their defining characteristic, because their self selected peer group isn't cosplaying. The true members of the group are manifesting their crazy, and "don't stick it in crazy" is still a truism.

475 Did these parents actually raise their two wackos or did they leave them in the hands of daycare, school programs, ritalin, play dates, tv, video games.

Did they spend their children's young years spending all their times building their careers, "finding themselves", indulging themselves while figuring some toys and cash would suffice along with some scheduled "quality time"?

They're leftists so the question answers itself
Posted by: kbdabear at December 07, 2020 01:25 PM (qAR6u)


Combination I'd imagine. The problem is, the parents were in the hands of daycare, school programs, ritalin, play dates, tv, video games. Remember, 1990 is 30 years ago, some of those people have 7-8 year old kids now. They've been trained well, and swallow every cultural "norm" thrown their way. They are the first results of participation trophies.

Their parents in turn were the first helicopter parents and boomers. If I were to grow up now the way I grew up in the 60's, my parents would have lost custody of me to the state. There was no such thing as a latchkey kid. We were independent. Look both ways when you cross the street, there's a box of lawn darts on the patio, your Wham-o air blaster is on the table in the den, don't forget to unplug your creepy-crawler heating tray - you almost burned down the garage last week. Good luck, see you tonight.
