ArtisticaL Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 These boys are 11 and 12!!!!! Fifth or sixth grade and the father is treating his son like a buddy - allowing him to find the porn and look at it. What's he gonna do next - take his son to a peep show or topless bar as soon as he hits high school? Her son sounds wise beyond his years - she sounds like she fell in love without paying attention to the red flags but you gotta hand it to her - she hasn't moved in with him yet because of so many bizarre issues going on there. She's doing something right - her son has a good head on his shoulders and isn't trying to play psychiatrist - he's just concerned about his mom and can clearly see a situation she can't because she obviously cares about her husband or she wouldn't have married him. I think that we should all try to keep our children's heads clear for as long as possible - this world is filled with enough smut and crap that we adults see for ther rest of our lives - young boys should be dreaming of baseball and sports instead of looking at dad's porn. That's the problem with men today - they're all hooked on porn and wives and girlfriends are treated like chopped liver. Too much porn is available nowadays. Too many child molesters, perverts and men who sexual predators on young boys. Hate to say this but women don't act like this! Kudos for this mother keeping her son's head clear and teaching him to respect women. He'll grow up to have good relationships with women. I say keep our children away from as much as possible - when they are teens and adults they'll see plenty of this stuff - it's up to us as parents to provide clean living for our kids. Arabess - it sounds like your kids are tough (they can cuss worse than sailors), etc. But sheez, isn't it nice when kids are polite and well mannered instead of screaming obscenities? So many kids are obnoxious brats these days - any parent who can teach good morals and raise a kid like this mother has should give other parents some tips!!! Protect the children - let them be children for as long as they can. Link to post Share on other sites

It's not his place to make decisions for his mother, his psychiatric opinion is irrelevant, and he should have enough respect for his mother to know his place as a child. I think that we should all try to keep our children's heads clear for as long as possible - this world is filled with enough smut and crap that we adults see for ther rest of our lives - young boys should be dreaming of baseball and sports instead of looking at dad's porn. I'm glad you're not my mother. Sheltering children from things that DO exist will create quite a high mountain to fall from when it's neccesarily to condescend oneself to reality. That's the problem with men today - they're all hooked on porn and wives and girlfriends are treated like chopped liver. Too much porn is available nowadays. Too many child molesters, perverts and men who sexual predators on young boys. One man who treats his SO like chopped liver is one man too many. I'm not ready to blame porn, it's just another way for us to deny responsibility for our actions. He'll grow up to have good relationships with women. You CANNOT determine whether this kid will grow up right, or whether the other kid will grow up to be bad. What we do when we leave the nest is up to us, a combination of BOTH our ideal message presented by the parents, and our empiricism in life on our own. The two extremes are both bad. A sheltered child will be unable to cope with the disruption of his unrealistic equilibrium, the jaded child will be unable to recover from his abuse. I say keep our children away from as much as possible - when they are teens and adults they'll see plenty of this stuff - it's up to us as parents to provide clean living for our kids. You speak as though children are inanimate. So many kids are obnoxious brats these days - any parent who can teach good morals and raise a kid like this mother has should give other parents some tips!!! So many parents are obnoxious and condescending these days--any parent who is lucky enough to have a kid who decides to live well with the TOOLS that his or her parents gave him shouldn't try their luck parenting other kids. Protect the children - let them be children for as long as they can. Like Michael Jackson Link to post Share on other sites
