This article really struck a chord with me, since I’m increasingly worried about my children growing up in a world that is fundamentally different from the one I grew up in. It’s incredibly hard to make sure that children are not confronted with disturbing imagery and all the propaganda that is circulating online without the fully developed critical thinking of an educated adult. How do you go about making sure your children become responsible adults online?

    Yeah. That’s not how conversations work mate. You say something and someone criticizes you for it. You address the criticism. Not start rambling about shit you made up in your head.

    You asked questions to change the topic away from my criticism of you publicly shaming your kids. Which you still have not addressed.

      yeah, no. I’m well aware of what your perception of how this should have gone in your head. I don’t owe you anything in response to your criticism. frankly, I’m going to completely ignore it because it’s irrelevant and you’re desperate for me to respond to it. if I didn’t know better I would say you’re either too young to have children of your own or aren’t a parent.

      Not start rambling about shit you made up in your head.

      are you certain you know what you’re talking about? thoughts are words in your head last I knew. then again, it seems you might be regurgitating whatever you want without a second thought. to each their own. I also didn’t make shit up. I asked very specific questions to help me understand who I was talking to, but it seems you’re only interested in berating strangers on the internet because of some desperate need to vilify parents that set limits for their children.

      You asked questions to change the topic away from my criticism of you publicly shaming your kids. Which you still have not addressed.

      no, I asked questions that you should probably answer for yourself. I really don’t care about the answer at this point.

      it’s abundantly clear to me that your parents failed you as a child and didn’t teach you there are limits and repercussions to breaking those limits.

      I believe I’ve heard enough from you to understand that your perspective, although valid to you, does not apply to me or my parenting style.

      this “conversation” has been disappointing, I would have hoped you could have worked past your emotions and had an adult discussion by asking questions instead of outright blasting me for being a “shitty” parent.

        I think you’re trying to convince yourself more than anyone else at this point.

        It’s funny how you completely fell apart unable to defend your own point and started rambling about completely random shit. Still haven’t even given me a whisper of a response to your insane idea of public shaming to your kids.

        Literally talking about paying kids to snitch on your children. That’s next level crazy parent shit. Something my initial comment hoped (in good faith) was a joke. But instead of clarifying that; you doubled down instead. Which only makes me believe you are actually that insane.

        You are still making assumptions about “me” instead of responding to the single point of criticism I gave you. You hit some next level “debate lord” levels of incoherence at this point. Desperately trying to redirect from your initial comment.

        Literally all Ive given you is a criticism of your initial comment. How you shame your kids publicly. That’s it. Anything else you’ve said has been shit you’ve made up to avoid talking about that. Which is really boring at this point.

        But I’m sure you’re ready to respond with assumptions about me instead of trying to defend your own position.

        /Yawn

        Can you address my criticism or not? Because this is getting old.

        Do you think publicly shaming your kids is good parenting? Because that’s what you gave advice for in the first place.

        My initial comment hoped that you were joking about paying kids to snitch. Literally give me a crumb of denial (jest) mate. That’s all I’m asking.

        Recover from that initial insane perspective.
