yeah, if i had kids, and they bought me a t-shirt, i'd be like "fucking right ya little shits, now go do whatever you want" thats when you could go on wtf.com


also nice work on whoring out of the t-shirts.:thumbsup:
 
Yet you let her go to school? Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I recall all of that when I was in secondary, highschool, and college.

Come on, lets call a spade a spade. YOU just don't want your daughter to see what YOU"RE up to on the internet. ;)
 
What about home schooling?





No, but what does having kids have to do with anything. Why is it that when someone without kids says anything in reference to the raising of a child the typical response is always "do you have kids?" :rolleyes: I've seen some parents that should not be allowed to have kids. Sorry, but I'm a much more fit parent than some people who have many children, and that
 
Max, it's amazing how much your views on child rearing change when you have a kid of your own. I'm not saying childless people know nothing about raising kids; they were kids themselves once and they know what they hated about their parents. But you'll be amazed how much you find yourself doing the same things your parents did that you hated growing up, but understanding why they did it.

You also end up doing a lot of the things you swore you'd never do to your kids when you grew up; then that parental curse comes back to bite you in the ass. You know the one; "I hope you grow up and have kids just like you!" It comes true, let me assure you of that.
 
If I want my child to get a quality education, I will leave that to people much more qualified than myself, Max. Besides, I think it is just as important for kids to develop the social skills and be involved with peers in a high school environment. I know what is seen and heard there, and I don't have a problem with content on a site as much as the stalker thing. Even with movies and music, I pretty much allow her to buy the cds and dvds she wants as I trust her to make her own decisions and interpretations of them.

As for your other point, I actually was going to reply with:

You: Yes
Me: So, how long have they been members here?

OR

You: No
Me:I didn't think so. :tongue:

I can only tell you parents resent (for lack of a better word) people who don't have kids saying what is or isn't good for them, because honestly until you have them your perception is warped by nothing more than idealism and well, that's about it. I used to think like you about that, then I had kids. That's not saying you wouldn't be a fit parent, and obviously much more suited than many, but you made the statement so I'm sharing my point of view on it.

I have a sneaky suspicion that if you did have kids, you wouldn't allow them on a site like this. (Of course, you will probably deny that). :tongue:
 
You're entirely missing my point, and my use of sarcasm to make my point.
1. School does in fact promote social skills.
2. I wouldn't trust you to educate my (hypothetical) kids either. :tongue:
3. I wouldn't let my kids on this site until they were 15 - 16 or so depending on how well I feel they have developed and can sort bullshit from reality.
4. All the things you find here, you find (and worse) in school. Sorry, but it's true and I'm sure you know it.
5. I would make an exemplary parent. :thumbsup:
6. You're preaching to the choir.
7. Your issue with people talking about masturbation here is unhealthy, and your kids will end up confused and ashamed of their bodies unless you allow them to get the masturbation issue out into the light of day. What is this the 1950's?
 
I don't think you can lump all teenagers into a single category, any more than you would treat each of your children exactly the same. Each person is different, and what works for one might not work for the other (thank you, Captain Obvious).

Our 13 year old daughter is a bit naive and sometimes too trusting. Until she becomes more socially cynical (for want of a better definition), and internet savvy, she will not be visiting this site. She needs to cut her teeth on a less open forum. And we are working on that.

But in answer to Nymphemphetime Girl, just ask your mom why the change - she may have been upset about something else completely, and transferred that to blocking this forum.
 
Max, I didn't miss your sarcasm, I got it, still felt the need to respond because there are some people around here that I'm sure did. :tongue:

I am very well aware of what is said at school, again, I wasn't necessarily saying the content here was a reason I for one would keep my daughter from the site as much as the interaction with others on the internet.

Finally, the masturbation thing... don't worry, you're way off on that, my kids have been/will be taught that it is a healty normal thing, but the need to share the details is not necessary despite what moderators of internet forums who obviously need to feel better about the frequency of their own "sessions" might tell them. :tongue:
 
Ok, I am a parent of an 11 year old boy Honey. My son is very intelligent and thanks to the rigors of the educational playground system and his brothers, he already knows all the cuss words out there. He is allowed in this household to say all the words except for fuck (his mom doesn't like it), and the G.D. word (I never liked the idea of damming Gods name even before I was Christian), yet he has the maturity in which he chooses to not use any of those words anyway. From what I see under our site rules you have to be at least 13 to join up. When my son turns 13, if he feels that he wants to join and I feel that he is mature enough to join up and post here (which he pretty much already is). Then by God I will let him.

I'm leaning more towards what Max said in the fact that I think you don't want your kids to see what you talk about at times on this site. Either that or just want to keep them sheltered from reality. And as far as social development goes, coming to forum sites is a fine way for someone to become more socially developed... especially when that person has certain shyness issues. It can show that just by being themselves that they can develop friendships and can help them overcome that little barrier that they may have IRL.

And as far as the language goes and what people talk about, well that's something that we're around every day of our lives anyway. Whether it's friends, teachers, parents, parents friends, as we get older co-workers, they all cuss/talk of masturbation/look at or imagine nudes, and there's really nothing we can do to shield our children from that unless we just want to keep them locked in their room away from the rest of the world, which by the way is not good at all for that social development thing we were talking about here.
