Sounds like your wife has done a great job!
Yes and no to a certain extent. I agree with a lot of what you said but social media is partially to blame for this. You can do everything right as a parent and these kids still see so many images that make them upset and can be bullied in new and different ways that most of us never thought of growing up in the 90s and earlier. I don't envy the kids these days and the things they have to deal with that we never did.
Kids don't have to have social media, don't have to be given unfettered access to the internet. Respectfully-established and consistently-reinforced boundaries prevent much of what you mention.
Agree 100% and I'm always genuinely impressed when parents are able to not only set that boundary but hold firm on it. Thing is kids have this way of getting around the rules parents lay down, I know I did. Seems like everyday it's harder to be a parent and a kid, props to those that are doing it right.
Even harder if you're like many single working parents.
I hear Tucker Carlson needs a beating...check your dance card, he fights like a white guy they say which means hiring MAGA cartel bodyguards.
It should be linked to poor parenting and lack of support.
But everything out there is available to EVERY kid. They all have the same access to sites about murder and sex and whatever. It's HOW the kids were raised that is the deciding factor of how they use this unfiltered info. In my above post I said that there are obviously outside influences and things happen. I know for a fact that the girls my daughters age that we've been around now for 13 years. I nailed it back when they were leaving elementary school. I told my wife the exact 5 or 6 of them that were going to get into some serious shit as they got older.....simply based on their parents. Either not there, or didn't give a fuck....and BAM it happened. The ones who are the whores and trouble makers and partiers are those.
