[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the first impression you're talking about includes having to have shaven legs and wear makeup, and the male equivalent for my son, then I hope they'll decide that's the wrong place for them. But that will be their life and their choice.[/quote]

What job are they going to get if they refuse to wear make up and put on your best clothes?  Your first impression is given long before you open your mouth.  Its so funny- you keep saying that it will be their choice but the philosophy you're describing will effectively eliminate most career choices for them.  [/quote]

New PP, and honestly who gives 2 shits?! Really, do any of these PPs give a flying fart that this PP with a very specific world view might be limiting her child's career choices or whatever else people seem to prattle on about? I don't. I only really care if someone is being abused. If you think this is even in the realm of abuse or neglect, get out of your pretty little hole, because it's not. And this is from a woman who has probably $600+/1 in makeup and hair products on her bathroom counter. I could give 2 craps if PPs kids become CEOs of IBs or if they have no skills beyond living on a commune in rural GA. Why the need to fight them? To show them they are "wrong"?

These are seriously privileged problems![/quote]

You're right- its not abuse or neglect.  Its a silly internet argument.  I was just trying to point out the frivolity that the mother of a kindergartener truly believes she understands what raising teens is like.  She specifically said they watch the kids interests and teach accordingly yet she's willfully ignoring the development of some basic socialization skills.  Seriously- mommy's going to protect them from every little bully and social expectation and then throw them to the wolves when they're 18?  Yeah, that'll go great...[/quote]
