I go out of my way to traumatize my kid now so hell have the tools in place for traumas as an adult

And that's why you're a fine parent.

 

[ZRH]

Yeah, this is one of those times you're just not gonna get it if you don't have kids. The feeling the kid feels is similar to what you probably felt when April was having her medical issues. Except they have no idea how to process it and it turns into long term trauma instead of being quickly processed and overcome.

Not really sure I get the premise but my mom lost me tons when I was a kid and I turned out fine

.... did you?

Not really sure I get the premise but my mom lost me tons when I was a kid and I turned out fine

FYI that isn't a normal experience.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

I do get what @Domon means. Watching it I'm like aw that's cute but then the kid loses confidence and gets upset and I feel like it's an experience that might stay with them of being alone in the world. Watching a second episode of it with a 3 year old struggling i was reminded of 6 year olds I'd worked with/looked after who had fended for themselves from 2 and how hard that must have been to seek out their own food etc just like these kids were emulating.

 

[Domon]

little brains are weird. Stuff gets seared in them and becomes unconscious livelong fear/anxiety. They dont have the ability to process that its a show, or acting, or that theres no danger.

I mean she put a leash on my brother because he would wander off. She'd tell me to go get stuff and walk off. I developed a process for finding her where I'd walk all the aisles, check to make sure the car was still there (it wasn't always). I knew my phone number/Dad's pager number and how to make collect calls.

She always impressed upon us to have a plan.

 

[Valve1138]

Totally fuckin normal.

Again, not normal.

I think normal is what you make it. Just like the people who freak out when their kids get dirty. Being a little lost isn't really that big a deal.

Bro, you weren't a little lost, she fucking left without you. You were abandoned.

 

[Valve1138]

Can we get back to talking about Reacher.

And that The Punisher is gonna have a third season.

Abandoning your kid is not normal

 

[Jehannum]

Abandoning your kid is not normal

Why does any set of parents have another kid then?

Season 8 of P&R looks lit.

 

[ZRH]

Redundant backups.

 

[Jehannum]

Redundant backups.

pfft, striped with parity is the way to go.

 

[ZRH]

pfft, striped with parity is the way to go.

I'm trying to figure out if that means more than one kid but with different mothers.

 

[Petunia]
