This is all scary. I thought it was bad enough raising my kids in the 90’s. I can’t imagine having school aged kids now.
That is a sobering article...Now, you got to know that pedophiles will try to get kids, but us parents need to talk to our kids. Mrs Deplorable and I talk to our kids and us parents should. If we don’t talk to kids, pedophiles will. I know one of my wife’s sister’s (A Bernie Sanders supporter, wife’s crazy sister) kids don’t talk to her. We wish we could get them out of that house, but a mom being a socialist, is not a reason for removing kids from parents.
Yep, I know far too many divorcing men who exploit their ex’s weakness, sickness, whatever, to get sole custody as a way to “win”.
Then they think they can somehow become a super-parent with the mom no longer needed.
Better to marry well to start, as you suggest, but the fever that sometimes grips both men and women in divorce leaves it all the worse for the kids.
No mention through all of this of trying to get the daughter and mother reconnected.
Oh, and never a good idea for a dad to make a “little princess” of his daughter.
Those little girls are the ones who grow up to be intolerable.
I was wondering if her "health issues" were connected to drug abuse.
There's a guy in my neighborhood who has been in a divorce and custody fight for his daughters. Much as I think the mom is a nasty, bitter woman, I can't feel right about him being the sole parent, either. He seems to have no idea of their future, or of preparing himself to manage female adolescence, hormones, education, setting boundaries, etc. The churches have fallen down when it comes to marriage preparation.
It was a feminist quartet of legal decisions in the early 70s: birth control distribution to the unmarried, legalized abortion, legalized cohabitation and no-fault divorce. As far as the law is concerned, people getting married now are participating in a folk tradition.
This is a debate forum. If you come here to have all your own opinions validated at all times, you will be disappointed.
Thank you. I have daughter’s with my soon to be ex-wife, and his attitude struck me as sanctimonious and self righteous.
About 6 1/2 years ago, my ex stopped taking her Zoloft, and withdrew conversationally, emotionally and physically from our marriage. I stayed for 5 of those years, moving from asking for us to go to counselling, and her back on her meds, to pleading, begging, bargaining, and finally giving up. I never quit praying she gets help. Still pray she does, but a household where one spouse (we quit being partners, obviously) does 90% of the housework, both work outside the home, and the one doing the housework is told it’s wrong, that’s not the way to sweep, cook, etc., where they are ridiculed for their person, personality, denigrated for every slight, intended or not, talking about being their back, isn’t a marriage to stay in.
Two peaceful content homes are better than a single miserable household.
“As far as the law is concerned, people getting married now are participating in a folk tradition.”
When either party can divorce at any time for no reason, over the objections of the other party, can you even call that “marriage?”
It might better be called “a temporary sexual access contract.”
“a mom being a socialist, is not a reason for removing kids from parents.”
Should be. Should also be grounds for exile.
Agreed.
