I see it everywhere and it disgusts me.
THIS is what is dumbing down America and the rest of the western world who practices this shit.
It programs children to be infantalized their whole lives, growing up to see totalitarianism as benevolent.
Here's a bit of how we USED to grow up.

Oh, that and my high school had an underground shooting range where kids brought their guns to school, yet there were never any school shootings.

Helicopter parents need to crash and burn along with their misbegotten offspring.

Have a set of lawn darts with original packaging. Not sure why safety caps on cleaners and meds is considered safety overkill though.

My high school had a rifle team :thumbup:
We used to get the dirty looks from some of the other parents at the school and the neighborhood because we let the kids do a lot of the same things we did as kids like build forts and play down in the marsh and woods without standing over them.
-
My uncle damaged the back shed from an explosion made by his chemistry set.
I remember playing down at the creek where there was heaps of clay and tadpoles. We would spend all day there without my mum being able to contact us. I also remember playgrounds where you would burn yourself on the metal on the slide and monkey bars. There were no soft landings either, just black sand.
Our parents used to leave the four of us in the car while they did the shopping. We used to have huge arguments and punch-ups. But we all turned out ok.

How did Scrappy's kids turn out? :dunno:

Oh, they are all in jail. :laugh:

You probably got a lot less judgment though as the father, they reserve the worst for the mother normally. :LOL:
I used to let mine go and play in the woods and explore with his friend. The neighbor on the corner thought it was her god-given duty to run to my house and tell me every time she saw them in the woods...because they might get hurt. :GA:
I used to play along the side of "the grand canyon of the east". :viking:

Awesome!! Unfortunately for me, our school shooting range was shut down in the late 70's due to worries of lead contamination.

ALL kids should be raised this way, it builds charachter & shit. 8)

I also remember playgrounds where you would burn yourself on the metal on the slide and monkey bars. There were no soft landings either, just black sand.
My childhood was the same way. All kids should play in the woods.

Those are the worst kinds of parents IMO. Not only do they feel the need to coddle their own children, but they think others children should be coddled too.

The swing of the pendulum is going the other way again. More and more "natural playgrounds" with signs telling parents that their kids will get dirty, and that there will be scratches and abrasions. If need be, there is a first aid kit around.
Quite the hype lately, in places that have little space for kids to find places like that "in the wild".
Don't think in my village anyone will be worried about kids playing in woods unsupervised. Most people will tell a toddler to go home when found near open water though, or on a busy traffic road.
There is overprotection, and there is sensible precaution.

Agreed. Without their mobile phones and whatnot.

OMG, your kids may get dirty while playing. Stop it, stop it now! :GA:

Indeed, a kid needs the experience of getting trapped in mud that deep that they have to dig themselves out, or have their friend going home for help because of it.
(Both my kids as I played in very soggy woods, though where my kids played barely deserves the name wood. Still big enough to get trapped in mud, unseen by people walking their dog though)

Not "may get dirty" but, "Will get dirty, will get hurt". It is a promise, and it draws many people to the city playground, Parents with toddlers, and kids on their own. Villages don't need stuff like that. Kids can do it without signs promising them that. And no one bats an eye. From age 6 to 8 on most kids go to school on their own too, without helmet, on their bikes. In cities that is often a bit later, because of shitloads of traffic, but from age 10 on, barely a kid will go to school supervised by an adult.
-
There comes a time when you get ridiculed if Mommy still walks you to school.

Took us forever to teach the oldest how to do this, but then, he is a spazz.

Oh yes. I remember getting strict instructions from my daughter to stay out of sight if I had to drop her off at school.

My spazzy kid decided to walk to school. No way she'd go by bike. But she did go on her own.
-
I wish mine had. He's better at it now, but then he is 20.
-
Plenty of times my kid wants me to come with her, to certain stuff. Not school though. She's 17, lot of growing still to do, but also lots of things achieved.
-
My yard backed up to school property when I was little so I walked since kindergarten my mom went with me the first week but that was it when I moved to Florida in the 6th grade I walked 2 miles though. My kids walked from when the school would let them leave without someone meeting them which I think was 2nd grade but a lot of times we dropped them off or picked them up because it was easier. If you coddle and protect them from everything and they will never learn anything.
-
Sometimes around here they aren't allowed to let them off the bus unless someone is standing there waiting for them. I can understand that if they are in kindergarten or in the middle of nowhere, but when you're 3 houses down from the bus stop in the middle of a patch with 4 other parents around and the kid is 9 yrs old?
Found this out after I got really sick one year and couldn't make it up to the bus stop, all the time I'm watching thru the side window for my kid to get off...luckily I was friends with the driver and my son told him what happened...and he dropped him off in front of the house until I got better, otherwise they would have taken him back to the school.
I could see the bus stop from the house...WTF.
-
Most people live at short distance from the village schools here. Kids attending school at the other side of the main traffic road cutting our village in two often are accompanied for crossing that road. Very busy, around that time. The rest they do themselves. On the way back it is less busy, so then most kids go on their own from the moment they have proven themselves to be capable of watching out properly.

I have to be careful where I let my mind go. After Sandy Hook, a deep part of me wants to set up outside my kid's school with an arsenal and question everyone who looks like they don't belong.

'Letting your kids have a little independence can be stressful, Sikorski Aircraft would like to help for as little as $99999 a month we can relieve your stress with one of our Black Hawk specials, always keep an eye on them from the sky in case they scrape their knee at the play ground or start to fall in with the wrong crowd so you can take quick action. Don't think about the cost think about the children because if it saves them from just one little danger it's worth it"

Okay, not sure if anyone caught the first story about the couple in Maryland that let their two kids ages 10 and 6 1/2 walk home alone from a park a mile away from their house. For those that missed it:

They are back in the news again...this time the local cops picked the kids up and held them for 3 hours at the police station, and then dropped the kids off at a crisis center where the kids were held for another 2 hours, without notifying the parents who were searching for them.

They made them look bad therefore they must pay.

They'd have to take over half of the kids in custody here in this village. And in the range of 6,5 to 10 years, up to 80% or more.
What is the idea, accompany your kids all the time, till the day they are 18, and then they are grown up and can do it all by themselves?

Amber is 22, soon to be 23, Carla and I have made major efforts to pull back on the hovering and mega worrying. We even bought her a car to get around Portland Maine and other areas for school and shopping. Surprising how she is learning to not give us heart attacks with her driving skills and is actually turning into a very good driver. Her confidence is way up there. Highways don't bother her as much as they used to. Slowly, but surely she is edging her way out of the nest. We do realize that she is much like I was at her age, a late bloomer. But, so far the signs are encouraging! :thumbup:

Fuck this makes me angry.

This is the state of Maryland.
State law in Maryland says that a child must be at least 8 years old to be left alone in a home or car, and a child must be at least 13 to babysit another child.

Yours is so smelly that dogs dig her up.

I always knew you're my kind of gal. :eyelash:
Your momma's so ugly she makes onions cry. :zoinks:

I had forgotten about the link between helicopter parenting and the PC nonsense that is happening on college campuses.
Ever since about 2013,many college campuses have instituted "trigger warnings" against "microaggressions" and "safe spaces" to protect the fragile snowflake products of helicopter parenting.
This IS Idiocracy and the end of America and Western Civilization as a whole. THESE IS NO HOPE!!!
