[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be really mindful about not being a judgemental asshat, because lord knows I've been on the receiving end (hi, I left his dad when he was 2.5). However, now that my kid is nearly an adult, there are some things where I am judgey as F**k.

E.g.: 
Denial about and enabling of a parent's RAGING substance abuse problem...like to the point where you get arrested for a DUI or crash the car or get canned.

Shitty Disneyland Dadding. Holy crap, am I judging you.

Not ever, ever, ever talking to your kids about sex or consent or pleasure or boundaries. WTF, people. Seriously, WTF. Get it together. Start early.

Ditto race, fellow white folks. You are damn late to the party if you're addressing this in your kid's teens, or, oh, NEVER.

ALSO? The binary gender paradigm is boring and oppressive and your gender reveal party is stupid best, deadly at worst (see news article re: explosion).

I have a lot more shade, but I have stuff to do today.

Oh wise, experienced parent, I would absolutely love to hear more. Dead serious over here. Please share more shade if you have a chance![/quote]

I don't know about wise, and I have a sample of one. But I'm flattered to be asked. I'll also tell you that I have a ridiculous amount of faith in our youth. They are kinder than kids were when I was growing up. You can tell some things about people when they are tiny, but not everything. My kid's cohort surprised me in a lot of good ways. And in some not so good ways. [/quote]
