I found out that my dumbass sister wants to get another pitbull (her last one just died), yet she lives in a small 2 bedroom apartment with 2 cats and a child.

I had a coworker whose son (police officer in his 40s iirc) owned two pitbulls, and she was babysitting his kids when one of the dogs mauled the other. She had to get the kids in another room and used some stuff in the kitchen to defend herself and separate the dogs.

I have an ex coworker who was saying that she couldn't stop smoking while pregnant because her doctor said the stress she would get from not smoking anymore cold turkey would be even more harmful than if she kept smoking… A few months after she quit her job while happily pregnant she visited us in our office she told us she had a miscarriage. I hope she got her shit together since then because I know she wants more kids.

When you train as a midwife, you literally see first hand what happens when you smoke whilst pregnant. The baby literally can be born with a gray hue to their skin and is most likely to be a still birth or be born with severe health problems. They literally waste the time of midwives and the doctors by the fact that they refuse to listen to valid advice, i honestly wish they were sterilised. They are also the kind of women to treat their children like shit is they had intellectual disabilities or even if they were able bodied, they would abandon their children to go party.

Don't know if this exactly belongs here, but there was a violent mentally-ill MMA fighter named Jon Koppenhaver(aka War Machine) who nearly beat his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend to death after she had left him for abusing her, well he actually got married while he was in prison and has a son, his wife actively posts on instagram.

my cousin and his wife are tinfoil extremists who believe circumcision is a global conspiracy and is the reason for why men are defective humans, including himself who can't hold down a job for more than a week. they live off welfare and e-begging on gofundme, have two sons who they are "free parenting" meaning they literally allow their boys to shit and piss outside like animals, eat off the floors and other unclean surfaces because "germs aren't bad for you", and impose no rules on them whatsoever.
whenever these animals show up at family gatherings, my cousin and his wife yell at anyone who tries to correct the kids' bad behavior. one of the boys bashed a little girl's head at preschool with a wooden toy, the girl's parents reported it, so now they're being monitored by CPS. the only reason why the kids haven't been taken away yet is because my aunt pleads to the state on their behalf to not "break the family".

That's how you get them to act out and hate you. Just like parents who refuse to give their kids' any sugar/junk food ever while growing up because it's unhealthy so they end up with obesity or otherwise disordered eating in adulthood. Good intentions but doesn't work that way when you alienate them from their peers and society. It's much better to teach them the dangers of tech, how social media is used to exploit their time and data and how they can make the most out of tech while minimizing the potential negative effects.

At my elementary and high school there was this blind girl even though they were both regular run of the mill schools with no accommodations for blind people. Maybe they had a reason for it, they wanted her to have a regular childhood regardless of her disability or something but she was straight up bullied. Shitheels telling her she dropped something when she didn't, laughing at her for sitting on the floor or in the hallway, saying she was supposed to be a different classroom when she wasn't. Fucked up things like that and she believed it because she was 2 years younger than the others (she was really smart and allowed to skip grades) and obviously couldn't see. She always seemed super shy and was a loner, we weren't in the same class so I didn't really talk to her. Still want to smack those kids who bullied her though, and her parents for not homeschooling her or sending her to a school for people with physical disabilities. I wonder how she is doing, I hope she's okay. Don't know what went through the parents' heads but I can't imagine being disabled like that and still having your parents wanting you to be as normal as possible. That school was brutal, there was one kid who was dealing weed when he was 12 or 13 (first high school year in my country) and had a beer crate on the front of his bike to put his backpack into. He bullied me so I hated him at the time but thinking back, where were his parents? He was doing advanced classes the last year I saw him though, good for him.

Based. So many children are being raised to be used to overstimulation. They can barely focus while believing they can multitask. I see too many tablet children IRL, just walking around blindly while keeping their eyes glued to the tablet, and it upsets me knowing they can't handle doing just a single thing without feeling that something is "missing" because their parents filled their vicinity with multiple sounds and textures and visions. Growing up, real life is presented as boring to them. Simple things will make them anxious because they don't know how to handle them. I'm gonna have some tech toys for my children, but I'm sticking to shit we had in the 90s. Simple electronics designed for one thing. I'd rather expose my children to multiple gadgets rather than go the minimalist route with a single tablet, or in recent times it's multiple tablets that are all designed to do 100 things and are consistently connected to the internet.

It's usually pure denial, or specialized schools would have been too expensive depending on healthcare where you live. Or maybe there weren't any specialized schools anywhere close enough. The only time I saw any decent ways schools were trying to include disabled students was in university despite living in a big city my whole life. I had two classmates in my private catholic middle school who would ruin lessons all the time because of their parents thinking that it would help them somehow. It fucking didn't. They were equally disabled after finishing middle school and they ruined things for normal kids, sometimes they were violent.

even securing a small child in a blanket and shaking them about like a joke is horrid parenting. binding a child in a weighted blanket alone can stress them out and that material isn't as uncomfortable or as restrictive like saran wrap is, but then they also shake him and laugh while he can only cry? fucked up, shouldn't be allowed kids.

I worked at a gift shop in a mall for a couple years while going to college and this happened a few times. Once a couple left their baby in the stroller at the front of the store during Christmastime when it was super busy. I basically stopped doing any work and just stood there keeping an eye on the baby until they were done. I swear to god at one point a woman was walking by, smiled at the baby, and said “oh she’s so cute I could just steal her!”

Also one time a woman came in and handed me her baby (not in a stroller or carrier) and said she was going out for a smoke. I was the only person working so I had to help customers while holding a strange baby. I was like 19 and had zero experience with kids.

the vast majority of obese people are not coming from households without sugar and junk food. Disordered eating from a super healthy household maybe, but this is just wrong. Kids are not social alienated because their parents won't give them soda. I grew up in the south and the only people I know who stayed skinny into adulthood are the ones whose parents actually made them eat vegetables.
>It's much better to teach them the dangers of tech
>it's much better to teach them the dangers of (junk food)
which is exactly what parents who don't let their kids exclusively drink chocolate milk do, they explain that the sugar isn't good for them and that junk food will make them feel sick. I'm sorry for sperging about a single sentence I just hate the narrative that "omg you won't give your kids junk food" somehow means the child is going to grow up fat and have a disorder. Any parent with disordered eating, both the almond moms and mcdonalds moms, are going to increase the likelihood of disordered eating in their children, but that has nothing to do with not letting a kid have a bowl of sugar for breakfast.

My dad also once pulled my hair in front of my friend when we were playing video games as a kid because I called him a bitch or something, my friend was pretty clearly scared and it was so embarrassing that I apologized to her.

It's not the technology, but the content.

Anons are mad at this but it's true. The reason why those IPad babies are fucked up isn't because they're using IPads, it's because their parents give them unlimited access to overly stimulating content (cocomelon and things like that are literally made to be addictive). This feels so obvious but if you treat them like what they are (mini TVs) and let them watch regular kids and educational content for certain amounts of time then they won't have all those issues. And we live in a digital era, if you're set on being so controlling that you won't even let your child have a phone then they will just struggle when it comes to connection to kids their age who will be communicating through phones. Not that I think teenagers and kids having phones is great but just saying.

I introduced my daughter to a computer as soon as she was old enough to sit in my lap and look at the screen. At the time I had an old desktop that ran Linux. I bought a drawing tablet and keyboard for making music. I was able to use the tablet to help teach her to read and write. She found using the tablet to be a lot of fun so it was easy to get her to copy me. If I drew a letter of the alphabet, she would then draw the same letter and we would say it out loud. As she got older I taught her how to use creative software. She's six years old now and loves using the computer but she uses it as a tool and a creative outlet instead of a pointless time sink. I don't own any iPads, tablets or even a television, so if she wants to access the internet she has to use a desktop which I have full control over and she has to use Debian and free software.

It's not that technology is bad it's that parents use it because they can't be bothered to spend time with their own children. Another issue is computer literacy among parents. Even if they have good intentions, if they aren't aware of the dangers or know how to control what the computer can be used for, any child is just going to do whatever they want.

Being literate with technology doesn't have to be achieved through youtube kids and tiktok and other overstimulating content.
I work closely with elementary school aged kids and they've shown me all the youtube videos they watch and games they play. Some of these roblox games that are insanely popular with young children have shocked me with how shamelessly they're designed to be nothing but gacha/gambling mechanics, numbers going up and flashy overstimulating visual and sound effects. As many dopamine spikes as quickly as possible, to maximize addictiveness. Honestly it reminded me of pachinko parlors in a sense. It appals me how many kids play these games for hours a day. Even if parents limit the game time of their kids and quickly scan if the game isn't wildly inappropriate, their first impression of most of those games would be that it's cute and harmless. Much the same as many of those notorious youtube kids videos.
Unless you're able to prewatch/play everything they're going to to make sure it's fine, I'd say it's best to keep them away from that stuff altogether and let them become tech literate by exploring educational or just simple fun websites, or using software to create things like >>1535333 said.
I agree with her and also think that teaching your kid to use a desktop like that will already give them a huge advantage in tech literacy over children that only ever use tablets or iphones. User interfaces have become so simple that these kids never learn how to do even the most basic troubleshooting to fix anything with more steps than having to press a big button saying 'fix it'. Kids nowadays are way less tech literate than they were when I was a kid, even though computers and the internet were a much smaller part of daily life.

It’s more like people who have kids are narcissistic on average.
I’m someone who wants to have kids because I think motherhood (sans patriarchy) is so beautiful and that I have a lot of love to give. I wouldn’t try for a baby but if it accidentally happened I would love my child with all of my heart. But this level of emotion is so rarely talked about when I see people talk of their children. As if they hardly felt so much love for their kids before they were born and prob just had kids to check off a life milestone. The best example of parents who hate parenting are those who use surrogates and nannies. Why even have a kid if you refuse to raise them yourself? They have to be more narcissistic on average, there’s no other explanation lol.

That's my mother's justification for having 4 daughters with a horrible broke misogynist who's 15 years older than her and married her when she was barely 20 and after talking to her face to face 2 or 3 times maximum and for ruining some parts of our youth with her bullshit pedo worshipper religion. So by itself it doesn't mean much. I'd say if you know how to budget, if you're not a repressed piece of shit who thinks her potential daughters should not have social lives until they're married (unlikely since we're on lc but see it as a general statement), if you don't have disabilities that make raisinf kids physically or psychologically difficult or near impossible and if you have a reliable bf or husband then you're more likely to be a decent mother. You'll also need to be prepared for any sort of unplanned shit like your kids' health declining all of a sudden one way or another because plenty of people, not just parents, think that life alterning injuries or disabilities only happen to others until it happens to them.

Islam. But that's a good question because I keep hearing about kids being raped by Catholic priests in Europe and by… whatever the equivalent is in other denomiations that are more popualr in the US and that shit is always swept under the rug. Two sides of the same shit covered coin. Anyway, I think Muslims are by default by parents unless they're extremely moderate and don't raise their kids in that religion. And my own family is actually moderate but still didn't want me to socialize with boys my age since I entered primary school, which means girls who befriended all these male classmates would avoid me like the plague as well. Then my own parents would make fun of me for not having friends for a long time. These parents tend to be very disconnected with how the real world works.

The reason why you hear scandals about catholic priest raping children is because the Church is being seen as some holy enitity that can't do no evil, while muslims are rapists by default…plus there's a light "tolerance" veil on Islam because if you dare to criticize it you're a racist bigot yadda yadda respect their culture yadda yadda it doesn't matter if an adult can get a 10 year old pregnant nonny, it's their culture!

My mom has been an elementary school teacher for almost 30 years now and has said the number of students she gets every year who are unprepared (not potty trained, can’t recognize their name when written, unable to put clothes on by themselves) keeps rising. She also notices a lot more grandparents raising the kids as the parents are either checked out mentally, on drugs, or in prison. Legit these people act shocked when they’re told that their child can’t attend kindergarten because their kid is still in diapers - it’s not the teachers job to change and wipe them. She’s also seen a lot more kids with autism whose parents act like their kid is a special genius and can’t understand why they don’t have any friends. She has had several parents tell her that she needs to force her students to invite their child to every party. Not to mention a lot more kids are exhibiting violent behaviors and she’s had to throw a child choking another child with a jump rope multiple times before the school did anything about it.

I'm so tired of people telling young women that they'll change their minds about not having kids once they're older, as if acknowledging that you're not fit to be a parent isn't a much more mature decision…

>>1535227
Adding to this: it feels like 99% of parents nowadays believe their kids are gifted and can do no wrong (and the others don't give af, there's seemingly no inbetween).

I remember my friend telling me that her little sis was told to go to a school that offers a special "genius" class because her grades in primary school were so good. Meanwhile my friend and I both were even better yet got treated like total normies. She was only like 5 years younger than us.
And now I'm training to be a teacher and parents unironically fight over a B with me… When I was young and did shit in school both my teacher and my parents would scold me, yet now all parents think their offspring is super gifted and everything is others (my) fault. They're so shameless and disrespectful, texing me all day and even phoning our headmaster about tiny issues, because "I know my son! He would never…?"

I don't think kids should feel scared of teachers or other adults but it seems as if binging overconfident/rude/violent social media stars or game characters really deleted any bit of respect in them.
Add to this parents telling already headstrong kids that they shouldn't let anybody "bully" them… I'm so scared of getting a bullying case in my class, I feel like I would be powerless to defend the victim against those parents and kids.

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to add another thing: I see more and more boys of primary school age who are so addicted to gaming that they're shaking while in class because they're nearly getting something like withdrawal symptoms from not being able to be in front of their screen during school hours.

So at this point skipping a grade wouldn't have changed much imo, so I might as well have done it if it means being bullied a bit more but for 4 years instead of 5.

Not really similar to my situation, since I wasn't acting weird, I just looked different. And not even in a weird way.

I worked at a preschool for a few years and you’d be surprised by how many parents are adamant about potty training their child. The worst was a couple who were both child psychologists and thought their son was a genius and above the other kids in his class. This boy would hold in his pee and poop all day then soil himself when he got home or when he was upset at a teacher. It was sad to watch a 4 year old revert back to acting like a newborn but his parents were the ~experts~ so whatever we suggested was tossed aside. We also had a mom with another “gifted” son who would hold his poop in until one day he kept shitting himself uncontrollably to the point that we had to call her and suggest she take him to urgent care. She ended up admitting to giving him laxatives and other stool softeners she took from work (she’s a nurse). That was a fun CPS call.

I don't think kids are developing ADHD or autism because of screentime either, they're just so socially retarded and addicted to the internet that they end up displaying similar symptoms.

I thought that it would just be a few supplemental sessions with a handful of children, but I was surprised that I had essentially the entirety of the class. I quit because I was severely overworked and had to teach these children everything. Some were so bad they could not communicate anything properly and would get frustrated and throw things. On top of that, the parents always fought me about how their child did not need extra time with them working on things. One mom told me that her child was actually very smart because she could use her tablet and was on technology all day and knew how to use it since she was a baby. Wtf.

Why is it always the poorest, unintelligent and most emotionally immature people who seem the most driven to procreate? I lived in a flat last year with a moid who was so off-putting and aggressive I ended up moving out of that house just to get away from him. At 22 he was a recovered crackhead, a speedfreak, and based on the way he drank, a future alcoholic. About a month into his tenancy he brings around a girl he met on tinder who was his equal in class, and incredibly cold and weird to myself and the other girl in the flat. As soon as she shows up she never leaves, and before I even move out they’re talking of finding a place of their own, even though he’s just been fired and she doesn’t work.
After I move out I catch up with someone else who lived in that house who tells me that the two of them are gone (but not before alienating themselves from everyone else in the house by starting weird arguments and being generally trashy), have found their own place, and after a grand total of 5 months together are trying for a baby.

i just find the whole issue with kids and tech so weird, mainly because of how addicted they are to it. i was born in 1995 and my parents bought me tech: video games, playstations, gamecubes…whatever i wanted i usually got it once they went on sale. i always had a computer too (typically a hand me down laptop from my mom or grandmother). i got an ipad when they first came out in my teens, and got an iphone when i was around 14. yet i also remember voluntarily taking breaks from technology to do something else, like draw or read or just sit outside in the backyard to watch birds or play with my dog. idk maybe it is because those things weren't readily available to me when i was 5-10 years old i never relied on them, but i remember getting sick of playing on my gameboy after a while and the first gen ipads were clunky and weird.

I think some of this has to do with those earlier technologies not coming with an internet connection and an endless stream of content, curated by a huge algorithm to produce the right amount of dopamine to get people addicted. Although dark design patterns existed already (video games were made to be addicting almost from the beggining), they weren't as prominent and the software wasn't meticulously designed based on mountains of harvested user behaviour data. I feel a weird danger about giving small kids phones or tables with youtube and tiktok on it. I visited a relative and watched their toddler completely shut down when a "sensory" youtube vid was put on the tv. Couldn't call the kid by name, with toys, snacks, nothing.

I was born in 2003, but was glued to a screen by 2009, playing flash games, virtual worlds, The Sims 2, and internet-less console games like Jet Set Radio. I still voluntarily played outside and did shit like snail races and playing with snails in dollhouses. I really liked snails. Until I developed a severe fear of plants and "dirty" things and things along those lines. Then I seldom left the house and had to get a tard wrangler so I can do the bare minimum of functionality at school. No shock I was an Autist with severe OCD.
I didn't have a phone until middle school, said phone was exclusively for contacting my parents, but I still ended up getting groomed because I didn't listen, but compared to the kids of today I ended up pretty unscathed because my parents taught me net safety after realizing their fuckup. Although, it's kinda sad that's the case. I hope that TikTok really does end up getting banned here because it's done nothing but harm people younger than me.

Ayrt, these are great points. I used technology as tools to learn and do creative things but it was self-driven; my parents showed interest but it was my own curiosity that drove me in how I used it. I think part of my question isn't limited to just one's own household - One of you mentioned how children are showing games and things on their phones or other electronic devices. You can control and guide your children at home but there is an onslaught of poor tech habits outside of the home, what do you do to mitigate that? Great discussion btw

As a former nanny I have to wholeheartedly agree. I've had a 5 year old that still needed to be wiped because she couldn't do it herself.
Last kid I looked after was an 8 year old, almost 9 that still needed to be physically washed by another person (me) as he couldn't wash himself, couldn't tie his shoes, couldn't brush his teeth and had quite a lot of cavities for someone so young, had lots of difficulties reading and writing, had full-on rolling-on-the-floor toddler tantrums, needed to be accompanied to the toilet, constantly asked for help for the most basic tasks such as grabbing a dish from its drawer, and could not play by himself.
He really didn't know what to do with himself, a house full of toys and games and he couldn't come up with anything to entertain himself with if nobody was there to entertain him, other than turning on the television or his tablet. That I found the most appalling thing. If you had to leave him for 5 minutes for a bathroom break, he would just wait outside of the door and tell you to hurry because he was bored.
His mom is a wealthy single mom, he had nannies his whole life but she wished to remain in charge of his education so we were not allowed to do anything other than entertain him. I wonder if she ever realized the gravity of the situation.

It makes you feel like you have to keep up or be isolated. There is a mental illness for being addicted to social media. Look at all those kids doing dangerous shit for clout.

The internet is interactive and TV isn't. So it's not comparable unless you're strictly talking about daily use increasing on average for the internet. When I was watching TV as a kid and it wasn't full of trashy reality tv shows yet you had a variety of content and depending on what you were watching the target demographics weren't the same. Long ago online there were websites of all sorts for different audiences as well, you had a bunch of websites full of games for kids and not all of them were made to talk to other people, at least not directly. Social media took over though and on the same platform you'll have 13 years old whining about their homework and SJW shit they're parroting from adults, and adults talking and posting about porn, or talking about politics that directly affect them, and in-between you have bots and brand accounts posting shit to make you buy their shit or vote for one specific person or whatever, all sorts of nerds, people straight up doxing themselves instead of just posting normal shit with a pseudonym, etc.

Several reasons: people who wouldn't have been diagnosed before (no special needs, weird but acceptable) now are, society more than ever loves to encourage women to have kids with old scrotes (an older father makes autism way more likely), and in my opinion high functioning kids might have been better adjusted decades ago when they would have been pushed to socialise more and wouldn't have had constant access to mind-numbing technology.
I also think lots of non-autists have awful social skills nowadays. I'm an older student in a class of mostly 18-20 year olds and sometimes I can't believe how weirdly anxious and inappropriate they are (and I'm autistic myself). A lot of them overshare about their mental illnesses to get out of doing presentations/group work, and most demand the lecturers walk them through the most basic tasks that you're supposed to know before starting this course (how to unzip a folder, how to find a file you downloaded, how to export to pdf etc). I don't want to sound like a boomer shitting on the new generation because it's not really their fault, but I do think technology and the internet have fucked up parts of their brains.

Old women have higher chances of losing pregnancies because female body eliminates bad pregnancies but since men's sperm doesn't do that, old men can conceive kids easier compared to older women although the kid will more likely to have genetic disorders. Also a young woman is much more likely to be able to get pregnant and therefore give birth to an autistic child if she sleeps with an old man compared to an old woman sleeping with an old man. That's why old men keep forcing young women to marry them, they know they can't have kids with women their age.
Men who couldn't get married young usually already carry some weird defects or mental disorders in their dna like autism so combining it with expired sperm results in bad chances for a healthy baby.

He was shocked when I told him about the higher risks of retarded kids with older fathers and my mother told us she knew about it and thought it was common knowledge.

tbh I would have done similar back then if I had a smartphone, fuck gym classes, they should be banned. But more seriously, you're correct but I don't think people realize it because they're either old enough to have seen the accessibility to the internet increase very gradually to the point where it's hard to notice, or they're so young that this is all they ever knew. Back when I was a teenager we needed a computer to go online and not everyone had a laptop. A lot of rich kids I knew did though, or had their own desktop but they were rich and had open minded parents enough to just be allowed to go outside and go to the cinema, go eat fast food, go buy whatever books they wanted, have their own TV, etc. Many like me had one desktop in the living room so even tech illiterate boomer parents could notice when you were doing stupid shit online or staying online for too long.

Yes, and while I'm NTA I still got very serious ankle injuries that never healed right and got screeched at for having athsma and panic attacks by every gym teacher I ever had, so while kids do need exercise, the least the teachers can do is make it more accessible for injured and ill students without placing them with the disabled kids. Even further, the physically disabled and mentally disabled should be separated and not share a class together, I've seen a lot of very bad things happen with that.
I also went to a ghetto school, the same as a famous singer so they always hyped it up as her school when I was probably one of the only people who knew who she was because she faded into irrelevancy by the time we were in Kindergarten in the late 2000s. And they never fixed anything up, there was fucking mold and asbestos everywhere, all the tech was from the mid to late 2000s, curriculum was a mix of common core and outdated shit, they put a lot of effort into health classes, gym classes, and nothing else.

The biggest problem with public schools having gym class, is that the teachers consistently insult, talk shit about, and compare students. They get very pissy and angry, and mald if you have any sort of disability or injury, blaming you for it or forcing you to exercise even if you have a doctor's note saying you can't run or participate.

I don't know if there's any other brazilians that browse these threads but did you see this girl talking about how her dad abandoned her when she was 4, left her life for 25 years and then later tried to go to court to force her to take care of him? Because "he's her dad" and he deserves it? Thankfully I think the court denied it but in Brazil you're obligated to take care of your aging parents, even if they were shitty, abusive, not present, etc. Boomers in her comments telling her to be a better person (boomers are never the better person) and that god is watching, or something. God didn't watch her dad do a typical scrote move and nope out of her life? Spergout but I'm sorry I don't think there's a worse breed of baby boomers and gen x than brazilian ones. So fucking uppity and narcissistic. They treat everyone else like shit because they know nobody can lift a finger without the law (also run by lead brain damaged boomers and senile silents) slamming them. The men and the women.

I don't know why so many in the older generation have this deranged fantasy of fighting for the right to beat children and feeling the need to force their children that they either abandoned or treated like garbage their entire lives to take care of them.

Holy shit I would have blasted his ass. I had a PE teacher who liked to wrestle the male students when he was angry. Like literal physical fights that he played off as a joke. At some point he toned it down because he broke a student's phone while kicking him in the sides. I don't really care if male teenagers get decked but it's a red flag if a teacher feels okay with raising hands on a student over petty arguments, and this man now has a daughter.

None of that shit surprises me at all. High school teachers like that are basically overgrown babies who probably are too immature to socialize with anyone but immature teenager. We were in a prestigious public higg school so the teachers couldn't get fired at all unless they committed a huge crime, and if parents complained about any of that shit the administration wouldn't be able to do anything about it because of civil servants having secure positions. The closest we had to this was our philosophy teacher acting like an aggressive turbo retard with us and telling us in our very first class with us that he gave no fuck, that nobody could fire him unless he started beating us up, how the administration won't stop relaying him complains from parents for being homophobic and sexist and how it doesn't mean shit to him, and how he was going to quit at the end of the year anyway to start teaching in a university. Weird shit through and through. My parents didn't know any of this because they only graduated middle school long ago and thought high school was supposed to be as easy as primary school, they thought it was the exact same shit. Which wouldn't even be a good thing given how bullied I was in primary school but whatever.

>>1540650 Teachers were worse than the kids sometimes honestly. We had the sweetest girl in our year who had selective mutism, she was like the only girl that didn't get bullied. In a french lesson our faggot of a teacher called on her for a question, and when she didn't answer, yelled at her until she cried. The whole class was telling him to stop and he just carried on.

My friend also had a math teacher who would drop pens and make the girls bend down to pick them up. Another of the math teachers was fucking one of her students and trying to bribe the class with sweets to keep quiet. Kid would've been 13/14 at the time.

I don't have any pictures but my ex-step mother is so hands off in her parenting that her seven year old is watching porn and showing it to adults like it's no big deal. One time his older brother wouldn't let little brother rich his genitals so he beat him with a wooden chair until he was on the ground. The kid's fucked up, no way he isn't going to be a rapist. Worst part? She's super rich so she'll just make all his problems go away forever. I would claim that I don't know why she went through so much trouble to have kids (IVF, surrogacy, ect) if she's so bad at raising them, but I know she needed to lock down her millionaire husband once she broke up his first marriage. Otherwise he would have left her for a younger model, which he did.

I hate when teachers just say 'teehee i can't be fired unless i beat you up' or tell you that their own class sucks. Loses my respect immediately. I am surprised but also not that surprised to hear these stories about male teachers. In my experience male teachers were more chill, but there was one who was very perverted. Students said he'd browse dating sites on his computer during class. He also called all the female students 'babe' and shipped people randomly. He also coached the cheerleader team I think because he had pictures of the girls on a desk in the room. He was annoying and would flirt with other teachers, too. There was also one male teacher that I never had but gave me rancid vibes because of how he flirted with other teachers and thought he was hot shit. Male gym teachers tended to be really nice except this one fat man who took everything too seriously. The woman gym teachers were honestly retarded, especially in middle school. She took me and another girl aside and told us we needed to gain more weight. She was fat and someone once told me she was pregnant but she wasn't, she was just turbofat. So annoying.

I had the displeasure of having a pick-me teacher and my god I'm glad she pissed off the wrong student (by openly mocking his kinda feminine mannerism) and had to cut it out when the parents threatened to sue her or have her fired. This teacher would always side with the bully delinquent male teens (she would laugh along them when I got bullied for being ugly too) and at some point everyone in class thought she wanted to fuck them because she was flirty too. The most disgusting thing I remember is her announcing she was pregnant and joking around with the guys about how "she could have sex still because penines weren't long enough to cause harm" (I wish i was joking) and let the students make inappropriate remarks about it. It was clear she hated every female student but loved all the males.

I hated sports for the longest time because of how gym was taught. We mostly played volleyball and I wasn’t into ball sports even though I was a good at other sports like tennis, the teacher would always scream at me and put me on display for not being able to throw a ball in a certain way. I was shaking crying trying my best and to this day I avoid team sports because I start to sweat and get anxious. The teachers would always bully students they didn’t like.
Also gym class should not be marked on performance imo. Short kid is not gonna jump as far as a tall one, fat kid or an asthmatic aren’t gonna be fast. It should be a fun way to exercise and introduce kids to sports and students should all get A unless their behaviour is bad.

I agree. I complained about gym classes and how I was weaker than other students and shouldn't have gone to these classes to begin with, but at least performance wasn't the only criteria judged throughout my school years. I always did my best because I was scared shitless to get bad grades and be yelled at or beaten up by my parents and I always had the most average grade, except for one time when we had nowhere to practice anything because we were in a tiny, very old high school so we just had to answer tests about muscles and health and I had a much better grade once in my life kek, I think teachers pitied me too much to give me bad grades. Still salty these grades were counted in the average score for my baccalaureate though.

i once went to this huge food festival with some few friends, we were eating at some table and it was super crowded when we suddenly saw a little boy about 4 yours old wandering around sobbing, looking super scared and lost. We asked him if he knew where his parent were but since he was so young he couldn't speak that well. The food festival had this band playing so we carried him to this band and asked if we could use the microphone to find his parents. After announcing that this little boy was lost his mother who was located very close towards the stage calmly walked to use with like an emotionless face. She didn't hug him or even look relieved to see him. It was so fucking weird I don't even remember if she thanked us for helping her child. I still think about it a lot because we just so happened to help him but he was probably wandering around for so long and what if some creep kidnapped him? And especially the reaction of the mother who just seemed to not give a fuck and not even comfort her child after finally finding him. Why do parents take there kids to huge events like this? This event wasn't for kids either, they had a lot of beer stands also ect. Like I understand that kids are fast and you can sometimes lose them, but it's the fact that she didn't even bother to search for him or maybe didn't even notice that he was gone.

My sister gives her son who is 3 years old always her phone to shut him up. He mostly watched youtube videos but often it's in english and that is not the language of our country. He barely can speak and sometimes I wonder if it is because of the huge amount of english youtube videos he watches while his parents don't practice speaking with him a lot. I know kids can be bilingual but I don't think this is the right way to do it. He already knows how to skip to the next youtube videos and how to pause it ect. He also broke my sisters phone when he got angry, but then what can you expect giving your phone to a toddler?

I hate the way that this kind of age gap has been normalized. Every person I know who is in a relationship where the age difference is 10-15 years are always absolute freaks.

I had an acquaintance that was 20 when she got pregnant by her boyfriend who was 13 or 14 years older than her. He knew her since she was 16 as she was working in a nearby restaurant that he visited often. Her child is now 3 or 4 years old and has severe epilepsy as well as problems with his lungs and heart. He collapsed at the kindergarten and had to be admitted to hospital. His mother rushed to the hospital with no trace left of her boyfriend and father of the child. This poor child had to be examined an entire week due to his weak and critical conditon. After begging him to visit his child as he was scared and confused, he came for 10 minutes and dropped of their clothing. He ghosted her the rest of the week because of "work" which is funny because he still could go out with his male friends to the bar or play video games till late night. She is still today with him till this day and and nags him to finally propose to her as he already promised to do it earlier but postponed it every single time. Another fun fact is that he already had another child with a situationship and left their asses not even paying child support once. She knew this and still decided to have a child with him. He is a raging alcoholic who destroys their apartment and cant controll himself. It even goes so far that her neighbors believe he is abusing her and offer help. Imagine telling this someone and not even consider breaking up with him? Why do women do this to themselves? How is this something that was not predictable? I understand that she is the victim in the situation but holy fucking shit how can you even want to stay with this man after he ghosted you and your sick son in the hospital? Another silly fact is that she gets a lot of money from the government to support herself and her son but keeps spending money on designer stuff and gets herself the newest apple tech stuff there is instead of doing something for the child. Some people really dont deserve to be parents.

I can't with my parents. like I'm trying to be a responsible older sister to my young brother, I recently went through his tablet after he left it in my mother's room. To my disappointment, I discovered videos about 'animan memes', 'rude Karen #7061 gets owned' and some coomer weeb videos about anime's that he doesn't even watched

I do my best to be a good sibling by removing certain videos and not forcing my political views on him. While I have no problem with him enjoying Roblox, Minecraft, and Mr. Beast videos, there are some videos out there that corrupting him and cause him to become upset when I intervene. I understand his frustration, cause he's a kid and he doesn't like people messing with his stuff, so I can excuse him but what I can't excuse is my parents passivity. They would rather let him rot his brain than deal with his crying. When I expressed my concerns to my mother, she just wanted to rant and accused me of insulting her by implying she didn't raise my brother with proper values. It's frustrating because she always makes it about herself and doesn't take responsibility for the situation.

Maybe it would help if you were to explain and then demonstrate just how mind rotting the internet can be. A lot of well meaning parents have the attitude of "if I raise them right, they will do the right thing" without realising how sites on the internet are cynically targeted towards becoming addictive. It doesn't matter how good of a parent they are, how much the teach them morals and values, they're a child and their minds aren't fully developed which makes them more vulnerable to malicious manipulation on the internet.

Minutes later, we walked to another room and a child was crying, he walked up to his teacher, she looked at us and said "oh god" rolling her eyes.

One of the game adds he was seeing was something like this. It showed a husband walking into his wife with another man in the shower. He's really into Pokemon so he's probably seen Pokemon furry porn.
The most retarded thing is that the parents are super protective regarding certain things, but then completely neglectful regarding others. He's like 8 now and they won't let him have WhatsApp on his phone, but he has free Internet access. Given his personality, I'm genuinely worried that he'll get into porn early and turn into a rapist or child abuser as a teenager. If I had a kid, I wouldn't let them alone in the same room.

My cousin's kid is a bit older than some of the other kids (she's 14), but she's been in front of a screen since she was 3 years old, and probably every day since. I once went through her youtube account out of concern, and at first glance, the videos seemed innocent enough - some Roblox and Gacha videos, and cake making videos. But it was honestly just as bad as what boys are getting recommended. The Gacha videos were shit like picrel, all had to do with topics like death, rape, and sex. The cake making videos were basically mini-storytimes read by some sort of AI, and also filled with messed up content. And then there were some really adult dating both games (m/m and m/f) that were like as >>1544790 described.

Imo this is probably one of those situations that is dependent on a lot of factors and not just "this kid is better at xyz than her peers". I had a classmate in elementary who was not particularly smart, but she still got moved up a grade after 9th grade because she was the oldest girl in our grade and she was mostly friends with kids in the grade above ours anyway. After high school she immediately started having kids and never went to college so getting out of the school system sooner was probably a plus for her. I was definitely smarter than her but I'm glad nobody ever moved me up a grade even though my mom was always pushing for it – I was already the youngest in our year (I skipped kindergarten but why would I want to go to kindergarten instead of staying at home with my playstation KEK), also I was extremely shy and sheltered.

Let us not forget that kids born late in the year are a lot more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD for the simple reason that they act more "immature" compared to the rest of the class, when in reality they can be almost a whole year younger than their classmates born in January so of course they're more likely to seem more immature. A single year can make a huge difference in childhood in terms of development.
The opposite is true too, an over-performing student may also just simply have been born earlier and have a more developed brain while at that point in time, making them seem smarter than their peers born almost a year later. In reality if you checked the "dumber" ones a year later they'd match the "smart" one. I even saw first hand how a young boy got reprimanded for being too childish for his age and his inability too stay focused lead people to suspect he had ADHD. Turns out he was just tall for his age so people assumed he was 1-2 years older, he was just acting his age.

Naturally both dumb and smart kids exist too but I always keep this in mind when dealing kids who are said to be either smart or dumb.

Do the parents want their kid to have major health issues? it's already unnatural for an 8-year-old boy to have visible abs, but it's even worse for a girl, cause the fact is women and girls require a higher percentage of essential fat.

This is stupid, you can't force abortion on someone. Idk why abortionfags are so mental and I've seen you guys post about how some women should be forced to abort but like, get fucking help.
It's a bad scenerio but the abortion also has bad effects on a womans body, you can be left infertile or have issues with your period blood getting stuck inside because of adhesions forming which means super painful periods and blood draining back into your abdomen.

early term abortion is just a miscarriage essentially. It's bad but not as bad as going through one of the most traumatic things your body is going to go through.

Birth in itself is a risk, epidural makes the whole process from the most stressful thing you will ever encounter to something manageable, and you don't want your stress hormones through the roof when you're going to take care of a tiny human after. and it's even worse if the birth/pregnancy is high risk since a lot of women had to have emergency c-sections with no pain relief if they opted for no epidural and there were complications at last minute. Personally I'm willing to take a risk if it means I get less of a chance of stroke, less stress, less trauma, and if I need an emergency procedure I don't need to feel myself be cut open

the issue is that women are fed A LOT of biased information throughout their pregnancy.

Has anyone got any experience with ADHD medications on children? This 12-year-old kid I'm tutoring is on it because some teachers said that he was forgetful and would zone out in class, his mom got super stressed out and immediatly brought him to a psychatrist. Of course the fucking psychiatrist immediatly suggested ADHD and he passed the tests and got his diagnosis. It was really confusing for me because when I'd teach him, even for 2h straight, he was always doing his best to stay focused and didn't struggle that much. I'd even say he's pretty advanced language, writing and memory-wise, and understands everything pretty quickly. He does have moments of zoning out but kids in my countries have very long days and he has extra-currical activities 3-4 times a week on top of that, so it's not that surprising. I noticed he eats a shit ton of sugar and I know it doesn't help with attention span, but thankfully he doesn't have tiktok and the parents are pretty restrictive with screens. Anyway, I can't believe he has a real disorder, or anything to warrant being put on medications, but I supported the psychiatrist at first visit because I naively thought they would investigate his personal life and see if something was off (he lacks parental attention and is pretty stressed out in general for his age). Also, the diagnosis should've helped him in school because it would justify his behavior to the teacher that were villifying him. Instead, he was put on medications a month later, and I can't believe this tiny kid is currently taking amphetamines legally and the parents couldn't be bothered - I understand that they trust medical professional, but psychiatrists in my country are more like careless drug dealers. They were so reassured to get the diagnosis like, 'Oh, my kid had a problem but now I have a paper that puts a word on it and a drug to cure it! Parenting done!'. I don't even want to judge them because the mom takes care of everything and seems burned out but I feel sad and almost responsible for encouraging this, naively thinking it would help him in school and could start a program where he has more time to finish his assignments(the teachers suggested it themselves). But the school baited us and only one teacher really gives him additional time like promised, because the others think ADHD is a meme (they're not that wrong) and life's unfair after all, so let school be unfair early on. I can't talk to his mom about it, I don't want to get her defensive and I know it's not really my place either way - I already warned her about medications and she was against it at first, then a few weeks back just mentioned casually that he started taking it -. I'm almost wondering if I should subtely stress them out about side effects disguised as naive concern to make them stop that shit themselves. So, anyone knows kids who were on adhd medication early on and took it for some time? How are they now? I try not to worry too much, maybe it won't mess him up, but I can't imagine how psychostimulants on a kid still developping can be good.

The government doesn’t want less people though, they want more. The true (humane) way to lower the population is to hand reproductive power back to the people it belongs to: women.

I don't understand what is up with millenials who are raising their kids glued to screen 24/7 and putting them on social media for everyone to see. I understand that most of them are normies and didn't see all the shit while growing up on the internet but I'm sure even that normies still had a bit of internet safety education, right? I was in elementary school in 2007 and got made fun of for using the computer for more than 20 minutes a day to check myspace, and straight up was called a retard for having internet friends. When did things change? Why can't normies keep their kids safe?

Really to all nonnies who have kids or want to all you need is not give a Tablet for a kid during their formative years and you're gonna have someone who will be so much ahead than their peers.

It doesn’t matter if you keep your kids away from tablets they encourage use in the schools. Talking to the principal doesn’t help either. K-4 doesn’t need to use tablets to learn. We had computer time when I was in school (90’s) for 15 minutes and then we rotated but trying to get young kids to learn from a glass screen stunts their development and activates their dopamine signals which makes them stupid and addicted to “smart” tech.

Tell me if I'm understanding this wrong but they're only putting 2 dollars a month at most towards clothing, right? Those kids really aren't paying for their own clothes, they can't be.

I don't really see a problem with this honestly. Plenty of kids do chores around the home without anything in return (which is completely reasonable). These kids get a few dollars for their chores and then give it back to learn some things about money and spending. They're clearly not worse off than other kids who just do chores around the home for nothing in return.

yeah they're definitely not buying their own clothes with a dollar kek, but it's more what is symbolizes that I think could be an issue. housing and clothing is too much of a basic necessity for a kid that a parent has to provide, no exchange is supposed to happen there. this could breed completely unnecessary resentment in a child's mind and damage your relationship with them for no reason.
gifts is also a weird one because you can't buy a gift for yourself from your parents, then it's not really a gift, honestly confused by that one. the eating out one is a gray area because that should also just be a fun thing you do as a family occasionally, but it is frivolous so whatever.

I'm kind of confused over nonna's reactions to this. I had poor friends growing up who had to pay rent to their parents (in the hundreds, not a few dollars) and didn't get any money set aside, and I've known very wealthy parents who paid their kids for chores and any toys/video games/etc they wanted outside of birthdays and christmas they had to save up for and buy themselves. Is the issue here that the kids are charged rent and utilities or the whole thing? I think doing the latter where kids can save up their own birthday money and chore money to get what they want is good. I could see how increasing it as they are a teen (charging a small "rent", but it's really money that is set aside into a savings account for them versus being "fun" money could be a good idea. I also assume this family is doing something similar where in reality the kids do get their full 5 dollars, it's just not all free to spend, to simulate savings and budget.

This has to be fucking fake. I'm assuming the children are really young since we're talking about a $5 allowance and it would be so fucking messed up by piling unnecessary problems on them like this when they're entirely dependent on your caretaking and income. Who the hell goes through this retarded amount of trouble just to "teach the kid the worth of money" anyway? More likely when they'll move out they'll either have extreme money anxiety because the parent isn't there to manage their funds or start overspending because there's not a stingy parent watching over their shoulders all the time. If you really want to teach your kid about working for money you're better off just giving them allowance for chores to save up or having them get a summer job to afford something expensive for themselves.

>>2098266
>housing and clothing is too much of a basic necessity for a kid that a parent has to provide, no exchange is supposed to happen there.
Exactly this. A child is too young to earn their own income and they can't be expected to pull their own weight at home financially. It's fucked up to tell kids that they're not entitled to housing and clothing but have to "pay" for it, even if it's "symbolic".

Even if this is a skit it's still so messed up to think that people have kids and just abandon them the moment they graduate high school. Many of my friends come from families where they had to start paying rent after turning 18 and I can't comprehend parenting like that, if you only consider kids' value in monetary gains then don't have children. If you're only tolerating them until the moment your legal responsibility ends, again, don't have children. They didn't choose to be born into your family. It would be so much easier for many people if they could live free of rent at their parents' place and focus on college studies without having to worry about bills and put the little money they possibly earn aside for paying off student loans or as a nest egg for their own apartment etc, but overly cynical wageslave parents believe giving their children a head start in life is "spoiling them". I know during my uni years I spent many nights worrying about money because I had to spend my days studying at school and nights writing essays and doing homework, I could only work during holidays trying to scrape up enough savings for the upcoming period while living in a shitty shared flat with a room mate from hell.

What do nonnas think of mom shaming? Personally I think we need more of it, after taking a dive into r/shittyparenting, where people on facebook openly discuss how they abuse their kids, and all the comments will be like “you got this mama” or “you’re doing great mama”, when the op is an actual dumpster fire human being. If you call bad parents out they claim their being mom shamed, meanwhile the term was created to talk about how women are shamed for getting a c section, formula feeding, living their own life while having kids, and more. Ironically, the abusive types who post crazy shit online mom shame the women I listed above, and then go post videos of their children feeling normal childhood emotions (aka tantrums) and no one calls them out for fear of mom shaming. And then they brag about being good parents while screwing up their children. If I ever have kids I’m personally going to shame boymoms, and other terminally online toxic mothers because I couldn’t care less what those types think of me and they deserve it. Regular ass moms living their lives deserve so much better than having to put up with women like I mentioned in their communities.

No it's not, not in the way you think. Moids don't do this to later use the moidlets sexually, they typically do it to make them "real men" and project on them. In many cultures, fathers take their son to a hooker as soon as they're like 12 years old. This is, in the father's mind, to put him "ahead of the game" and give him all the sexual opportunities the father didn't have. The father is going to watch the son's dick for the rest of his life and openly salivate at his girlfriends (many such cases). Same idea as being obsessed with your son's dick looking like yours and circumcising him as a result.

Parents are supposed to work together to double check things for one another, especially when a newborn is in the house, because the brain fog and memory issues make it difficult and outright dangerous to do everything alone.

Spicy take but I think she neglected the cat on purpose (which the husband was already doing and probably did from the moment they were married, so this isn't to divert blame from him). I've seen my fair share of parents who lose all affection for their pets once they have children. Like obviously the baby is supposed to come first, but no amount of postpartum brain fog is going to make you forget to water your cat for so long that they have to drink from the toilet bowl. These are things that could be fixed by a simple phone alarm, there's not a lot of excuse here.

She says that the cat dislikes her husband, so he probably snidely ignored her needs because she's not his pet. Anyway this article pissed me off.
>It was clear to friends and family that Lucky, like most or all cats, was only intermittently tolerant of me, much less loving
Oh my god shut the fuck up you didn't deserve this cat.

this mother is sending her daughter to school recording her walking into the building with cheerleaders giving her judgmental looks while greeting her. I feel so bad for the daughter because I can tell she’s gonna get bullied by those girls, but her mother doesn’t seem to care at all. parents need to be socially aware or else their children are going to get bullied. you can go on her account and see her replying to people telling her to delete the video. She said she knows her daughter is gonna get bullied, but she doesn’t care because she’s expressing herself authentically not realizing that bullying effects teen’s mental health all the way up to adulthood.

I still can't believe Burgers actually experience this. I thought mean cheerleaders was something Hollywood made up.

I live in bongland, my ex (who’s mother was a welfare queen with 5 kids who worked for 2 hours a day as a school dinner lady) had to pay her £250 a month to keep staying in his shitty box room after he tuned 16. She had him convinced that if he wasn’t paying her this then his younger brother would be taken into care as opposed to her getting a fucking job. It was a good business model for her: once child support runs down, trap your child in the house with extortionate rent so they can never save to move out. That way you can continue leeching off your own children forever. She also used to charge her oldest daughter £20 a day to babysit her own grandkids while she worked. Absolute worthless leech of a woman with 3 baby daddies. If I ever brought up to her the way he was being financially abused by his own mother he would get so aggressive. Waaah don’t say these things about my mum. She was such a parasite. She also lived in a council house so hardly had to pay any rent for that. I hated that fucking bitch.

I understand what they're saying to an extent but my god, that is such a tone deaf and idealistic way to describe this very real fear.

Reading the tweet I thought it was going to be about people not liking kids screaming in restaurants or libraries, not about parents avoiding doxing their small kids.

"humane animal sacrifice"
What practice is this referring to? People with a cannibalism kink who want to be eaten?

No I think it's about how religious animal sacrifice are less cruel and barbaric than the modern meat industry and farms.

MY uncle's deadbeat dad took him to a hooker at ELEVEN years old, he told his mother (they were separated). His mother took him out of school in the middle of the day and drove three days to go live with her parents. My uncle spent years only sharing his ordeal with other female relatives because the males would congratulate and make youre so lucky jokes. All for his own daughter (my cousin) to call him sex-negative for not having appreciated the work "of a sex worker just trying to survive"
