It’s been SEVEN DAYS, “Cannie.”
The “show” is over. Time for your “final thoughts” about this feckless post.

We both know you are a troll with multiple accounts. Please go away.

My dad was funny, smart & pleasant, and largely ineffectual, but fairly wise. My mother was dutiful, but weird and prone to subverting folks - on some matters she was sound, but very judgemental and arch-conservative.

You can guess whom I preferred.

reply

Yes. They put food on the table and kept a roof over my head when I was too young and dumb to do those things for myself. They sacrificed their freedom to raise children. The idea of hating your parents has always baffled me. Unless they abuse you in some way, what the hell is there to complain about?

reply

Some people aren't the best parents though and may have a conflict with their kids because of that.
I'm a strong believer in forgiving your family, but a lot of other people prefer to just stay angry.

reply

well, you can appreciate the good things that they did without necessarily liking them for a whole host of other issues, such as abuse; but abuse is not just physical, it can be verbal and emotional too.

reply

Good old Connie being an apologist for child abusers again. At least you’re consistent with your filth.

reply

Let’s just sweep the ole ‘psychological abuse’ under the carpet, eh?

reply

I know mate. I do wish the mods could delete this stain on the forum and all his multiple personalities, permanently.

Did you see his Janet Jackson thread where he let slip that he’s Australian? Must be hard remembering which account is which at this stage 🙄

reply

He’s cocked up a few times.

reply

I don't see any apologia in Connies' post. Actually, the opposite.

reply

Sandy, my expectations are a little higher. Your kid deserves to know in their bones you love them and make an effort, at least, to like them. And first, do as little harm as possible.

Throwing food in front of them is just part of the minimum daily requirement any adult undertakes who undertakes parenthood.

reply

Well aren't you just superior?

Wow - you thought my remarks were out of line ? Please do me the favor of explaining why. Isn't parenting a whole lot more than feeding your kids, providing them a place to sleep, some clothes on their backs, safe-passage to the public schools ? I'm not saying those things don't require effort & commitment in themselves, but there are emotional and participatory and exploratory and acculturation aspects, too. We want our kids to be engaged, challenged, and secure in their place in the world, do we not ?

I wasn't trying to be offensive, just challenging you a bit. Being a parent is a rather large responsibility.

reply

Ok, maybe I overreacted. My original comment was not neglecting all the things you're bringing up, it was merely a protest against the Hate Your Parents cult that's plagued the West for some time now.

A child is abused or neglected every 47 seconds in the USA. More than 3 million children are subjects of at least one child abuse case each year. Nearly 700,000 children are abused in the US annually.

There are parents who are monsters and predictors. Abuse passes between generations, e.g., Michael Jackson. I’ve a friend who is a psychiatric social worker, specializing in domestic violence and abuse. She tells me there is a scale of abuse, from the mildest to the most cruel. Child sex abuse is at the farthest end of that scale, and it is not specific to the USA.

When and if the world ever truly realizes and acknowledges the extent of this damnable evil, it will hang it’s collective head in shame and beg for forgiveness.

reply

Yes. I moved out at 18 and our relationship became substantially better from that point on.

reply

So, Connie. You said you would share personal info with us, tell us why you created this topic, dazzle us with Jerry Springeresqe “final thoughts.” You have done none of that, nor did you ever intend to. I’m calling you out for the feckless troll that you are.

reply

You and I do not care for one another at all but this time you have it right…These stinky troll socks are a terrible nuisance to the decent sorts around here

Fuck every one of them.

Somebody I quite like PM’d me about you calling out trolls and socks…You’ll never see this post because you have me on ignore but this is one thing I like about you…Anyway, piss off
