To show her 3 year old boy that Spiderman has a soft side too, after she discovered that her boy would hold his tears back, since Spiderman "does not cry", and she thought it was terrible that a 3-year old felt such pressure from a non-existing superhero.
She made several drawings, all of them featuring a superhero with his/her child. Spiderman sits in the bathroom, pooping, with his spider-toddler on a lil potty.
"pedophile!" was one response from Americans, who further explained "Adults have no business going to the bathroom with a child!"
Which brings me to this:
How DEEP in this MADNESS are Americans, thus far?
Is it ILLEGAL for an American parent to show their genitals, to their own children for example, like, if a child in America walks in on their dad showering, will this now be a criminal matter?
How do American parents breastfeed - or worse: CHANGE DIAPERS in an atmosphere where ANY contact between an adult, and a naked child = pedophile assault?
Are diapers illegal in America? Is breastfeeding made fully illegal yet? I know there's plenty of restriction to breastfeeding
I know I'm probably being a bit exaggerated here - but some of these things ARE "slippery slopes", for example the notion that "parents should never be in the bathroom with their children" - once enough people GET this idea IN their heads... it will slowly begin to shape society - and ultimately legislation.
This is mental, you guys. Like, totally totally mental.

Ooooh, lookie here! an America bashing thread from a Eurotard.
This is probably the first time in the history of the world that a You're-a-peein has bagged on the US.
I'll mark this date on my calendar as a historical first and celebrate its aniversary every year. ::)

It's not everyone or even a lot of people who think like that but a vocal minority and a bunch of band wagon jumpers. The whole helicopter parent thing which is where this shit is from I find very disturbing but there people fighting against it http://www.freerangekids.com/ (http://www.freerangekids.com/)

That's the "slippery slope" I'm talking about. Let's hope it does not get any more stupid momentum, since people have a tendency to jump onto such ideas, that concern The Children. The Children is a concept that sells well...
Especially sensitive of course, is the whole idea of nudity around children. Boom - pedophile. One thing that does not only concern America, but all the west, and that you can observe from the past 20-30 years, is the dressing of toddlers in bikinis, in public beaches.
Pappy, bashing? Are you being victimized again? Why don't you partisan your way out of it?

People are nuts when it concerns The Children and the news loves to feed on it

It gets crazier and crazier every year I think.
I was a free range kid.
I remember hiking for miles in the woods alone when I was 9 or 10...without *gasp* even a cell phone.
I remember riding my bike alone to town (probably 5 miles round trip) when I was 13.
I remember staying home alone, and waiting outside by myself in the car at the store for my mom to finish shopping (because I hated shopping).
...hate to see how many visits my parents would have gotten from CYS now. :P

I played on train rails :D
When the train came, we would move out of the way, we weren't stupid! :D
Penn and Teller made a good episode about the "dangers of society" as presented by the media, and how it contrasts real day-to-day safety, in a normal human environment (where the vast majority of people are not troublemakers)
It brings it back to these hysterical laws, like one air-line company, dont remember which, which would only pair children travelling alone - with women, and not men, since men are scaryer or something, to a kid. Since when!? Kids don't have dads!? Nono, it's obviously the notion that guys are pervs, and will perv on the kid! :D
While obviously, in normal reality, the vast majority of people are not pervs... or likely to sexually assault OR frighten children on board an airplane...
It's a dumb, overprotective regulation - but that gives other people ideas
P&T should make an episode about the dangers of being exposed to seeing a boob or a penis, when you're young.

I was a free range kid.
Me and mine too. Was glad when they became old enough to want their own privacy in the bathroom, because could then rationally explain my own need for privacy; though the dog failed to understand.

Now I am imagining this little critter watching you in your bathroom. :puppy:
As long as the curtains are closed, none of us in this household feels the need to hide in a towel or so, on our way to the bathroom. We do like our privacy once in there, it is hallowed alone time, after all.

My cat loved to come into my bathroom when I was shitting, the more the better. Mildly disturbing, but whatevs, cat rolling on the floor purring to the stench of my shit, who am I to deprive her of such joy :I

When you say that all I can think of are kids for sale next to free range eggs at a supermarket. :zoinks:

One of our cats is like that she even hangs out in the bathrooms a lot when no one is in there not sure of the attraction
I roamed the neighborhood freely when I was 5 and much further by the time I was 9, my sisters were supposed to be watching me but usually didn't. Starting at 11 I walked about two miles to school part of which was a short cut along the rail road tracks

My female hides in the tub...and then you walk in and she jumps out at you like this demonic possessed furball on speed. My male will normally sit outside the door and try to narc on her...until she jumps out and bitch slaps him a few times.

My female cat likes the bathroom, when the youngest takes a shower.
And as free range kids, my brother was a roaming kid on top of being free range. One day my mum got a call from an aunt, telling there was this little 7 yo boy with not too many clothes on at her place (swimming trunk only). She lived 25 km away from us.

My nieces are still free range kids. Parents were not amused when the nearly four year old decided to sneak out of the house in the evening, instead of taking a bath, for a tour through the woods on her bike though.
My nephew is kept on a much close watch, but living on an industrial area, with lots of trucks around all the time, that does make sense. Dead angles can be horrid killers.

Yes, free range needs some range, and danger might be subjective. Oldest once spent the night with a friend at age eight or nine; was bothered they were allowed to roam the streets alone, and said so. The mom said I was being overprotective. Told her mine is allowed to use the gocart or fourwheeler to go to the lake alone, but would have the courtesy of asking before letting her child do it, and wouldn't accuse her of sheltering if she said no.

Are diapers illegal in America?
Yeah, we make them hold it until they can do it on their own. :zoinks:

Seriously though, Zeg. Whoever said that was probably trolling, or they just don't have kids, or they've got kids and have never left their house and thus never needed a toilet in public while in the company of a kid.
