[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was so hard to tell my third grader this morning. Kid is worried about Trump having his hand on the nuclear trigger and starting World War III. I hadn't told him about this -- he picked it up at school. I reassured him that I didn't think this would happen.

Kid is also worried about what the election will mean for black people (there are many at his school) and for Jewish people.

We hadn't talked about any of this, so I know the kids are talking about it at school.

I was feeling devastated myself but tried to tell him we'd be safe, that this is how democracy works, that we will keep trying to make the world a better place.

Deep breath. [/quote]

:shock: wtf kind of garbage are you telling your poor kid??? Seriously you have ISSUES! Now I know why I constantly have to talk my anxious kid down. He hears this type of shit from his friends at school and I have to explain to him that he is safe and that he should think rationally and believe what's in front of his eyes, not some crazy hype that he hears from his friends (through their paranoid, psychotic parents!).[/quote]

Sorry, just read that your kid hears it at school too. You have my sympathy. It's frustrating, isn't it? Please accept my apology for misreading your comment.[/quote]
