What level do you talk with your kids about this crazy world?

Sounds like you might be crazier than the world. Try to comfort them and do your best to make sure they have a normal upbringing. No reason to share your dumb and possibly wrong view of the world with them. Let them grow up like normal people.

My oldest is 9. She knows how I feel about Biden. She doesn't really grasp why other than he's a horrible President* and he hates America.

Nice assumption pussy. Why do you counts projection your insecurities and paranoid beta mentality onto everything?

I want my kids to be kids. They don’t need to worry about that stuff right now. They just know that if they see something that seems off, then to tell me or mom and stranger danger. Same shite I was taught 30 years ago

Same.

Sounds like you were engaged and contributed much in their upbringing. The fact that they made it out of a current university "unwoke" is the exception and not the rule.
Good job and good luck to them on their journey!

Normal being completely subjective means different things to different people.

Most people here would certainly consider you to not be normal.

My daughter and I have conversations about the world and what’s going on all
The time. I allow her to draw her own conclusions as long as the basis for her arguments and beliefs are rooted in logic and not emotion. We discuss the difference between logical and emotional decisions and positions and why both are important, but acknowledge that logic often leads to a better and more predictive outcome.

I am a right leaning moderate, live and let live, don’t really care what people do kinda guy. My daughter is further right than me. She is a live and let live kinda person, but far more outspoken about the ludicrousness of it all, and often have to get her to tone it down. Respect is big in our house…

Basically, if she decides to run for president one day, y’all are gonna flock to vote for her arse, lol.

How stupid do you have to be to think that most of the world supports this stuff? I promise you they don’t. Again, there isn’t even majority support here for many of these things. He’s not only lying, he’s trying to lecture people with his lies

You see any normal going on in the world?

My daughter is 11 and we talk about self reliance, managing money, life goals, consequences. She learned to shoot at 4, hunt and fish by 7, and can clean/cook stuff she catches/kills now. She can look at normal household repairs and use hand tools to fix them.

She gets her own pocket money (100.00) a month on a debit card to keep track of her spending and learn about money. This has done wonders to curtail the “I want it” phase with everything. It teaches her to save and plan instead of impulse buy. Next month she is getting a 25.00 raise and she is planning on trying prepaid Mint mobile service so she can use her phone away from Wi-Fi.

My hope is that by teaching her to be a strong independent female she will naturally trend towards a more conservative outlook. By teaching her to at least try to handle stuff herself she will not look for someone else to fix her issues. By learning the value of money she will not be buried in debt looking for someone else to fix her money issues. And the last thing I do is we only go to church casually. Because I want her to have faith in God but we are somewhere between the Easter/Christmas church goers and the every time the doors open folks. I want her to enjoy it not view it as a chore.


The thing I wish I could give her that I had is the great world tour. I had the Asian and African tour as a child had a baseline to compare a couple different economic systems to. That pretty much guaranteed I would never support communism or socialism. She has met and sat in with friends that I’ve met in my travels. Hopefully those accounts are enough.
