@NoraReed yes i embrace him, lovely little lad. bit silly mind. that was sposed to be a joke. but yeh dont get why anyone would require that. do people like that still exist even ? @NoraReed This. If I was to have a child, they'd have as much a right to privacy as any adult. If they felt something was wrong, I'd trust them to tell me if they felt up to it. I shouldn't have to spy on them or force words out of their mouths! Having been a victim of this myself a few times in the 2010s, I feel very strongly about this. @NoraReed THIS. Me not trying to own my kid's private life meant she felt comfortable coming out to me. Parents who don't let kids have secrets are not safe parents. @NoraReed I don't think it's that clear cut, and I don't think you've defined things well enough to make any claim. My 5 year old? Nope, fuck letting him have any secrets. It can be a danger to him, and a danger to his sister and I. My 9 year old, we've discussed privacy, her right to it, but also the responsibilities that come with privacy. Yes, kids can and should have secrets, once they understand what secrets are healthy, and what aren't. |
@NoraReed i see them as kind of snotty loud things. pretty sure they evolve into human later.
