And if you have a son please let him wear modest and tasteful dresses :P
I don't know why everyone idealizes the past when people then had their own problems. There have always been good and bad parents. Social welfare policies have by and large benefitted children, and people are generally more aware and open about child abuse and exploitation than they were in the past, when such things were swept under the rug.

i'm touched that you feel this way and truly, TRULY hope that you and sun_spots maintain this way of thinking/living throughout your child's life. despite our differences and negativities n the past, this is not something i would fuck around about.

modest and tasteful? who decides what's modest and tasteful? um, JFT, if you have a son please don't police his body and let him express himself through whatever dresses he chooses because it's his body, thnx.

I loved nothing more than fishing with my pops as a kid, could never sleep the night before.
It's just I would be really over protective if I had a daughter.

No thanks. There is too much of that shit going on already and I don't know a single kid who is raised right in the world who goes along with half this shit going on. Not my kids. The media portrays how kids should look and I promise you that wouldn't happen with my kids. My daughter wouldn't dress provocative. And I would be sure my son succeeds in a private school. I wouldn't take them for any fucking vaccines or flu shots cause that shit just makes em sicker. I know from experience people's who kids were raised this way and they are the most polite and decent children you'll ever met. I'm not going to be the parent who's child makes them look ridiculous in public. Y'all can. Not me.

Dude, that is not a healthy parenting attitude. Children need to express themselves and know that their parents love them regardless of how they choose to do it.
And I'm not even going to touch the anti-vaxxer thing.

Is how people perceive you in public really a priority to you? What matters is that you live them no matter what. Aside from that you just hope for the best and take challenges as they come.
What if your child was born with autism or something? Sometimes you have to toss all your preconceived notions of what your kid will be out the window and rewrite the rule-book.

This, 100% this. I know why it happens. It's the fact that it does that blows my mind. People can be selfish & irresponsible. I certainly have been. But making a child....even unintentionally is something that should change someone. And that's based on innate human tendencies as well. Humanity has good traits, and it's in our nature for them to come out when there's a child involved. Reproduction is as natural as it gets. The fact that so many people can ignore all that, ignore the child they treated just because they're self-centered pieces of shit? That doesn't commute. Probably because I'm not a piece of shit & can't think like one.

Being a dad is hard. Damn hard. Today worked 10 hours on a roof, tired as all hell and soon as I walk in the door I got a little person climbing all over me and yelling at me because I would leave the room to clean up. So i got to let him in with me. Then when i finally get to sit down the larger one sits right up against me shoving his video game in my face making me watch. Then along comes the smaller one to join the pig pile and hes climbing and pulling and scratchong and gets mad at his chocolate milk amd dumps it on me.
But damn when they look at me with a big smile,hug me and love me just because im Dad its all worth it.
I get frustrated but theres something in me that makes me do anything for these kids and take everything they throw at me, with the only thing stopping me from giving up and quitting is pure unadultered love for my boys.

i'm going to venture a guess here, as all i can do is guess on this matter. it is possible that the bulk of "cultured" humans have removed themselves so far, for so long, from what could be considered an original natural state, that the essence of the nature of a cultured human is being diminished. in other words, the group/social mentality that has carried us to this point is no longer relevant to surviving and prospering and is in the process of being removed from our instinct.
i know that sounds ridiculously out there, but it's the best guess, at this point in time, that i can surmise
