It Follows… Amazing

I’m not sure anyone can be prepared.

We gave the kids access to Spotify Kids, I think it’s ok so far.

Except for shooting around corners and that thing with the car, those bits were cool.

At first I thought you meant there was a movie inside a movie called Time.

If we loved the sound of babies crying we’d have foxes not cats.

What are you for?

I refuse to play mind games with the unarmed.

Before university = the whole life lived as a girl before university is even in it. The whole time being held to a different standard, encouraged one way, discouraged another way, etc etc. Any interest or persuasion being dismantled and/or dismissed for decades before uni.

I was adding to it, not explaining it.

Women aren’t believed, are you a trans woman? If so it could be either that you’re a woman or that you’re trans.

You could be lucky too or maybe you don’t notice the microaggressions.

It’s how women have to be excellent to make a male dominated thing a part of their life. It starts long before uni so you’re seeing it after other women have been knocked down and out of it.

I think you’re naive but in fairness, it is shocking and hard to believe.

If I say I do X and you say the healthier way is Y, that is a response to what I said and a judgment. If that’s not what it is, you’d need to write it differently.

Yeah the hard part is that there no real established science on this, it’s the wild west online and we’re approaching it slowly with open conversation and trust at an age appropriate level. There’s some risk but that will always be true.

It’ll only be when we look back that we’ll maybe know the right way but maybe not. Like a lot of things, it’s very context dependent… the child, the family, the village, the relationships, the school, etc etc

When you say things like “the healthier way is…” that’s a response to me directly and a judgment. So it’s that kind of thing.

But sure it’s fine, I’m open to the conversation, just not up for defending a decision.

I think you’re assuming a lot from a little. I’m not explaining every thing we do around my home and my kids. I’m explaining 1 thing, it’s not everything.

You are really telling everyone how little you know about parenting. This is what parenting looks like. You parent the kids you have with the skills and tools available. It doesn’t look the same for everyone.

You should probably sit back down.

Yes, it’s part of set them up to succeed not fail. And another part of it is I want them to have a clean break from the outside world, from friendship drama or clinginess, from school stuff, etc. Digital switch off isn’t something people are good at doing by themselves as adults!

My kid has it in their schoolbag, just wears it on the way home and later if they go out. They don’t have to wear it all the time.
