[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because you state your desire for immoral behavior out loud doesn't make it any less immoral. Don't normalize it.

Cut / insert any other immoral action into your statement and assume your child was saying it instead of you. I think you'll quickly see the problem. "I fantisize about punching Jimmy in the face but I never would do it." A normal person would hear a child say this and be alarmed and know that intervention is required. You're an adult and you use the same logic and we should....applaud you for speaking your truth?

What the hell is wrong with grown ass adults in this country? Woman-up and be better.[/quote]

Oh I already think it's normal to fantasize about punching someone in the face even though I'd never, ever act on it (I've never got another person in my life). To me it's healthy to express that desire out loud so I can work through why I feel that way. So if a child said that I'd view it as a good sign that they were able to both articulate that urge and understand they cannot/should not act on it. That is a sign of emotional security to me.

I worry for people who never even let themselves think about this stuff. I think suppressed/repressed urges are more likely to be one actions because you are stifling thoughts and processes that would help you move past them.[/quote]
