Some lady tried to steal my friend's 3 yr old son at Costco

I could be wrong, but I think moes is the victim of anything but helicopter parenting.

The important thing though is that you feel better about yourself now.

 

In lower class neighborhoods the criminals cant afford to take care of another child, probably their 12th.

 

Moes is a special case. Just like you, Donny. Let's not make this about me, when it's clear I try to keep as low a profile as possible, just interjecting when necessary to regulate situations, spread truth and love, and release the common man from the shackles of ignorance and miscommunication.

Homeschooling, indirectly, is very similar to "helicopter parenting". Refusing to throw your kid out into the wild during his formative years to protect him from society has a deep and profound impact on the subconscious and right brain development. Whether you have moral codes that conflict with society, or you don't agree with the education system... let your kid figure that out for himself. But as long as you do anything to incubate him from the heat, you're messing with the natural way of things. And we can see the results of this in moes mindset and work ethic.


Momma always used to say, you hide from the world, it'll come to your doorstep. Might as well get as much experience as possible getting your feet wet. Then she'd throw me into the English Channel without any floaties and tell me to swim. And that's just what I did.

 

Child sex trafficking.

Organ harvesting.

Human centipedes.

This isn't just about raising kids...

Things really do get very real in the ghetto when the lights turn off.

 

Preach on PREACHER !

Foreigners, in exchange for iPads (fair deal), not in USA.

 

This is epic, actually.

 

Okay so I didn't read this thread since yesterday and now I see this page. wtf happened to the topic?

 

Wow, scary. Good thing I shop at the south Austin Costco.

 

Wow that's right down the street from me... Literally.

 

I hope you are just acting dumb.

 

Wait... where's the part where he tries to convince everyone (and himself) of his genetic superiority and the hot chicks he sleeps with? Doesn't seem like a Ronny post without any self affirmation. I'm confused.

 

While some of the post was cool, this is quite epic bull****. Full of judgement based on baseless assumptions and faulty premises. Some homeschooling resembles helicopter parenting. Some homeschooling looks just like brick and mortar schooling. Some homeschooling looks like college. It just depends on who is doing the schooling.

I know a slew of homeschool kids who are not the victims of being sheltered from the world. They are mostly kids whose intellectual, artistic, and/or social abilities outmatched anything the brick and mortar school system could provide them. They go off to college and become frat boys, sorority girls, student leaders, and nerds. I have watched some go on to establishing their careers in television and music as teenagers. Others I have known, used homeschooling to travel the world and build relationships in many countries.

Homeschooling isn't the refuge of people afraid to see the world, though it can be. For many it is a means of getting their children out of the sheltered walls and manufactured society of the school system and out into wild of the real world.

Industrial brick and mortar schooling is not the natural order of anything. If anything, the current system of public/private grade level learning and tracking is outside the natural order of things. It is a bureaucratic system that only recently emerged on the human historical stage (within the last 200 years and considerably more recent depending on local history).

I have both public schooled and homeschooled my children. All I can say is that there are homeschooling systems I would never put my children through (such as what you assumed homeschooling to be) just as there are both public and private schools I would never enroll them in, especially schools like one At which I am a volunteer tutor. And they have quite active and free social lives, much better than what I had as a youth, and I was 100% publicly, industrially educated. Other parents, often the parents of new friends my kids make, are shocked to learn my kids were ever homeschooled given how social and mature they are.

On topic:

Man, that is a very frightening, freak occurrence. Hope the person doesn't let this chance occurrence rule their parenting lives going forward.

 

This ^^

 

Ronny, do you want to **** me or what?

I really don't get it.

You just leap at every opportunity to try and eat away at my psyche. You bring up my past, you bring up my divorce, you dredge up everything that makes me what I am and for what?

Does it make you feel good about yourself?

I ****ing hate the way I grew up, ****ing hate it. I would never, ever recommend homeschooling a child, especially a gifted one. The mental damage of being secluded in my room for years is evident.

But I am a good person, yeah... I'm ****ed up and I'm flawed but I'm here and I talk about it and I expose pieces of myself here because yes, I desperately crave acceptance and I've found some of it here. So what.

Your life is ****ing hot women and regulating? Good, good for you.

I've got a family to take care of.

How ****ing dare you assume things about me.

You wish you had even a little bit of the creativity I possess.

 

@roxbox, if I may ask??? Why couldn't she just go to a regular supermarket??? Why Costco?? Costco is for men and things come in bulk.. Does she own a business?? That's what Costco is intended for, restaurants/hotels/ etc..... Normally people that buy there resells it in their store and the stuff they buy is tax exempt...

You ever get punched in the face by your stepfather when you were 7?

You ever get locked up for 3 days in your room without food because you refused to eat something?

You ever grow up thinking if you disobey your parents again God is going to send a lightening rod to smite you straight to hell?

You have no ****ing clue what its like to be me. No ****ing clue.

But congratulations, you've found my weakness and now you're exploiting it.

I hope you get AIDs you miserable piece of chicken****.

 

Well, I guess that could be considered helicopter parenting.

Apache helicopter parenting.

 

Wow...
