No One can Agree on Parenting

[Queen K]

Is this article on the mark or slightly off kilter or WAY up in La La Land?

Most parents DO something about what is affecting their kids. It's NOT alright to see your child suffering. Children make childish choices not based on "coming out alright in the end." They committ suicide. Or attempt it. Or run away from home. Or go with bad people, often older than them.

I can't decide if the writer has read too many rainbow and unicorn stories or is on the mark.

1. Why is this even in the news?

2. And "does every parent HAVE to answer just because they ask?"

What happened to having a spine and saying, "none of your business"?

NO Twelve year old deserves an answer just because they ask personal questions. NONE of them do.

lololol

in other news "MOM WANTS ATTENTION FOR GETTING LAID"

I want to joke that my kids don't ask because they aren't deaf but....lol

In reality the understanding of a healthy sex life is something to tell kids. Add to that I have met a weird amount of couples that just simply....don't.....which is by most studies on sexperts....unhealthy.

A twelve year old asked "how often" and did not deserve an answer other than, "you have to learn to mind your own business, this will be an important life skill in your future."

Nothing to do with learning about a healthy sex life. Just what is and what isn't his business.

That's true as well. Perhaps simply saying, a healthy relationship amount and it isn't that important at your age is fair as well.

However, saying something and then making it about personal attention is just immature.

How times have changed for parents.

At one time this was the modern way. Can anyone imagine not using a safety inspected car seat today?
