I'm not a parent so take this with a grain of salt. Kids should be afraid of their parents. I was, and I have good friends, no broken bones, no criminal record and a husband who was thoroughly vetted.
YES!

I don't want my daughter to be terrified that I am going to beat her to death but I want her to be afraid of living in a dumpster and being somebody else's bitch her entire life because she is so damn impressionable.

Morning, all.

Holy shit did I learn a lot about 12 and 13 year olds from my daughter's birthday party yesterday.

I let her enjoy her day before I plan on grounding her for the entire summer - just for who she chooses to hang out with.

One girl spent the night here and started talking, at the dinner table, about how hilarious it was the first time her boyfriend fucked her. She is 12. Her parents allow this.

My daughter was bragging about having a facebook page that her mother and I don't know about.

I found it. It is deleted. She no longer has a tablet and her phone has been blocked from the router and her mother is going to kill the data plan on it this weekend.

Sneaky. Fucking. Kids.
Thank krist my son and his friends are complete geeks and nerds and are just into computers and random male insults. (Well, most of his friends, some are a little more advanced but not many). I would have had a heart attack had I heard that about the 12 year old.

The worst I overhear is the word "fuck" (which I do reprimand, even though I use it, but I'm a fucking adult so I can!). There have been one or two times I overhear something demeaning about girls/females and I'll step in on that, too, but I think that's mostly them not really understanding what they are saying.

I think, though, that my son is a little bit, and his friends are a lot, afraid of me. I can be the crazy, fun mom who can shock them with my weirdness, but most of his friends have known me since they were very young and have been around me volunteering at school or on field trips and know I can turn into a REALLY HORRIBLY MEAN SCARY HUMAN if they cross a line.

Letting them think I am a wee bit crazy is actually the plan. Keeps them on their toes.

Alright, since I was responsible for negativity on the thread this morning let me flip it a bit, bear with me:

A few years ago when my wife and I found out we were going to have a baby I started making a blanket for the baby. (yes, I'm a dude who crochets.)

A few weeks later my wife had a miscarriage. It was devastating. I put the blanket away. When she was at work I eventually pulled it out and started working on it again. Months went by and eventually we found out that we were going to have a baby again. I kept quietly making this blanket. I never stopped believing that eventually there would be a baby to give it to. For three years I have worked on it a bit here and there so my wife wouldn't see it and have bad memories.

Last night my wife told me that Archimedes outgrew his baby blanket.

I went to the closet and pulled out the finished blanket I made and held it out to him. He grabbed it and snuggled it and hasn't let go since.

My wife and I both nearly lost it as he toddled up the stairs dragging this blanket to bed.

_______
So I hope that makes up for the negativity I brought to the forum this morning.

This was heartbreaking but also beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I did not sign up for a feels trip this morning and now require a tissue.

From a chick who crochets, that is incredibly awesome and sweet.

So, a little related. When I was pregnant with my daughter I started crocheting a blanket. I didn't get it finished before she was born. Then she died as an infant and I put it away. After my son was born I decided to finally finish it so he could use it, and I did. Can't say it was his favorite one, as I have like seven crocheted baby blankets, but it was larger than most and it was used as a floor blanket a lot. It's now put away for him to hand down to his kids and when he's a dad I'll tell him I started it for his sister. He will really love that because, though he never knew her, he has a warm spot in his heart for her (my son is currently 14).
