Reality is what is still there when no one is talking about it or looking at it. You can make ideas real and/or change them, but you can’t stop reality by doing nothing.

When they were younger, my wife and I basically had to work different shifts, although there were also long stretches where I just worked less(because I had found ways to make good money like so). Once they turned 6 years old, Boys & Girls Club was a lifesaver. During the summer, the kids actually prefered to go there on days we didn’t have anything fun planned(nor $$$ for activities).

Lemmy parents seem to be a more put-together, less drama-seeking set than those from that other /Parenting space. At least on the instances yours or mine are federated with. 🤷

Dude doesn’t have access to the records of who downvoted what, and neither do you or I. That’s admins or mods only, if even they can look it up. Thanks for outing yourself and reinforcing my hunch that its mostly projecting word-spewers who aren’t worth interacting with. Bye.

I want to know who downvoted your comment as well. Don’t much care their reasons why.

Part of what I was getting at, or rather how I read your question, is that none of my children mentioned any separation of the girls and boys for these lessons. There was mention of “private areas”, but also, “or any other touching that made you or others uncomfortable” and the “why” seems to have been left for the health classes they had later on in Middle School and High School.

Gender doesn’t exactly play into telling kids to tell a parent and/or teacher or doctor when anyone touches their “private area”? Pretty sure nipples are mentioned as such for girls and boys, if they are mentioned at all.

“Stranger Danger” and “Bad Touch” aren’t discussed in Indiana Classrooms until the 2nd grade, and even then, its super-vague.

You’re misunderstanding. They aren’t interested in protecting pedophiles-in-general, or even most Republican-voter-pedophiles, just, literally, themselves, and maybe their pedophile donors, until those get caught that is.

Sadly, most of those same donors play both sides of the aisle, and Dems in office are all-too-happy to help them as well, so long as their pockets are deep enough. On that note, here’s your weekly reminder that the Clintons made promoting and implimenting vouchers for private schools a key issue, and yes, these issues are thoroughly inter-twined.
