When I was going through my divorce, I went to see a Counselor. My Ex had me convinced that EVERYTHING was my fault, I was worthless, etc.

After ONE session she said to me, ‘There’s not a thing wrong with you; you were married to a JERK!’

LOL! And that, as they say, was that! :)

She likely never had friends as a child, and now is getting even.

If the administrators think it is acceptable to monitor and intervene in friendships, you get kids and administrators who think they can mediate and moderate any OTHER relationships in life ...

Bans should be banned, because you can’t ban anything.

Psychologists catapulted into space, because they are stupid and serve no actual purpose.

“Brave New World” - you’re pressured not to have sex with anyone exclusively, must be circulated so that everyone is equally happy and friendly

Liberals: At constant war with what is normal.

Leftism is all about normalizing the pathological and pathologizing the normal.

With their war against basic biology with "gender is a social construct ideology" and against the normal ties that bind social order with "multiculturalism," I figured it would only be a matter of time before family ties and friendships were also declared discriminator and pathological. What's next - is it a form of "bigotry" for parents to prefer their own children to some complete stranger's kid? It's not so different from being asked to prefer illegal immigrants to your own countrymen.

Aldous Huxley said he wrote the novel “Brave New World” as a warning, and said his mistake was placing it so far into the future.

I grew up in Wisconsin.

I am pretty sure that the majority of the parents in my era were very glad to have their kids learn how to pick a ‘best friend’. ‘Or friends’.

It is the experience of learning how to judge who is worthy of your time & attention.

I am now a senior citizen & the ‘topic of ‘judging’ comes up often at a dinner gathering at the Senior Center.

A couple of the more Liberal diners claim ‘they don’t judge’.

I swing right back at them & tell them they JUDGE something EVERY MINUTE of EVERY DAY.

They decide what time to get up—what to wear based upon the weather—what they want to eat—what chores they will do in what order—how much food they have on hand if a storm is coming-—who they wish to have contact with that day-—whether or not to pull out into traffic patterns-—whether or not they can afford to buy or replace something for the home or property......... I could go on & on.

One person in particular tries to argue with me & keep saying she doesn’t judge, but I can usually make her realize she is judging even when she decided whether or not to engage me back.......

IF your kids DO NOT learn how to pick friends-—careers-—vehicles-—homes-—partners-—financial decisions-— I can GUARANTEE they will be total failures sooner or later.

IF you cannot recognize when something is wrong-—how can you remove that influence and move forward & be successful ???

I have a nephew that didn’t get much real guidance-—and he has major problems...which his father still doesn’t seem to recognize. I blame my brother for indulging him with anything & everything growing up. There was no work ethic taught-—only ‘go buy whatever you want’ & I will pay for it.

Psychologists should be banned as they make judgemental statements that induce guilt in weak wimpy people.

This is another example of why we don't need PhDs in universities.

They have too much time on their hands, they have publish something to keep their jobs and so they smoke a lot of dope and come up with this crappola.

She doesn't even want your kids to have lots of friends either.

She also makes the assumption that having a best friend means that's the only person kids socialize with....just that one person. Huh?

Micromanaging society. From the safety of their Ivory Tower. And tenure.

When growing up, I had what I would consider to be two or three "best friends", but they were never my only friends. I had "band" friends, "choir" friends, "sports-team" friends, etcetera, etcetera. I had friends that I saw only on certain occasions (repeat vacations to the same location).

But, at any given random time or location, I would be either by myself or with my "best" friends.

And family and relatives, too.

What’s more exclusionary than family.

I wrote a satire many years ago about where I thought the left would get—and I hesitate to mention it since they haven’t gone there yet.

You see, some people are better looking than others—and the ugly people’s social life is not very good.

So, the left would re-institute the sex slave trade—and every good looking person would have to “do their duty” for society.

Impossible and crazy, right?

Maybe not... :-(

From her blog page.....(humble little thing isn't she?)

Dr. Greenberg is smart, savvy, and passionate about helping people of all ages. Teens and parents love her. And, of course she loves working with them. The audiences love her energetic, informative and fun style.http://drbarbaragreenberg.com/bio/

No mention of kids though.
