I cannot be the only one who noticed, that mentally unstable homeless people tend to have the calmest and best trained dogs under the sun.

I guess it's purely, because they spend 100% of their time with them... Kinda makes me think about the way we raiseour kids though.

We homeschool. My kids are better behaved than their same aged counterparts.

Public school splits families. Home schooling allow my children to get to know their parents and each other.

I am happy to hear that.
The uncontrolled tribal culture the young kids have to live in is not something I would wish on any child.

What I've seen is that a lot of children who go to public school border on being sociopathic. My wife has actually caused a few of the neighborhood kids to change their ways though, and by doing what neither the school nor their own parents do — setting clear boundaries.

Our house is the go to house, so that gives her a lot of leverage, and she's uses it to do good by them.

I’m coming over, save a juice box

I hope you like horror movies.

In all seriousness, one thing I find strange is that most parents are more concerned about what their kids see in media than how they actually behave.

My kids have been watching horror flicks since they were born. Nonetheless, they're really sweet.

The other day, my daughter, who's absolutely hyper af and goofy, was being crazy af. I asked her what goes on in her head. Her literal response, "running, screaming, violence, and other things.... oh.... and dead unicorns."

Tonight she told me she wanted to read me a book she wrote. Tells me the it's about a cat. She then opens it and begins meowing while flipping the pages.

That is, because for boomers, TV is a primary sensory organ. Until the TV tells them, that childish fantasies are OK, they won't see it. Because they didn't hear it from the experts.
