Asguard, when you, a person who does not have children, starts to tell people how to raise their children or how parents are abusing their children because of how they happen to raise them (without physical or psychological abuse), then yes, people are going to get shitty and say that you, for example, should not comment.
It is akin to a man talking about how getting a period is painful or annoying.
So you don't trust your own parents?
The opposition leader has brought up his children and as can be evidenced, they are not raving lunatics.
They look like well adjusted girls. So he must have done something right along the way.
As for the woman who had 8 babies. Is she the norm? No. She is outside of the norm.
What right does an outsider have to tell me how to raise my children on a day to day basis.. ie.. 'You really shouldn't use a jolly jumper, it's not good for their development'.. etc.. The response would generally be, 'mind your own business'.
Talk about jumping to extremes.
Selling one's children was allowed and legal in ancient times. I would suggest you read up on the Code of Hammurabi, as a prime example. Ergo, if you give the Government the power to raise people's children...
Do you get my drift?
What is this obsession you have with circumcision?
I can restrain my guardian simply by placing them in an aged care facility or by keeping them at home and not allowing them movement or freedom to leave the facility or home. And as their guardian, I would be well within my rights to do so if I could prove that my parents were a danger to themselves or others.
Just as I can and do restrain my children by not letting them play in the front yard unsupervised, I do not let them go across the road to the park without supervision, I do not allow them to enter public bathrooms unattended, I do not allow them to roam outside of my property unattended. When they get in the car, they are completely restrained..
Depends on the child.
Parenting is about setting boundaries and about ensuring the safety, happiness and wellbeing of one's child. That is what parenting is about. The Government cannot run itself sufficiently.. you actually think they should be placed in a position where they control or 'bring up' our children? Ya.. right..
Right to equal time is about child support. Right to equal time is tantamount to child support in separated or divorced couples.. in that the children should be made available to both parents and care for both children shared between the parents as much as possible. That care is then factored into how child support is calculated, so that both parents are then made financially responsible for the children.
The rights of the children is that they have the right to be supported in every way by their parents or guardians.
How can I put this.. simply..
My children are my children. Not yours.
Not the Government's. Not my parents, not my inlaws or anyone else, aside from my husband.
The only individuals allowed to make decisions about the day to day upbringing of my children are my husband and myself. We follow the laws of society and within those laws, we bring up our children as we see fit.
If a public servant decided to take it upon themselves to tell me that I was abusing my children because I restricted their movements or was doing something wrong in letting them play on a jolly jumper, I would tell them where to shove it.
You appear to be advocating the complete handing over of control to the Government in raising children. I completely and utterly disagree. The Government is barely competent to run the country as a cohesive unit.
