Apparently (from more accurate reports than a tabloid
, still confirming), telling someone they're free to kill themselves (leave planet earth at any time) on social media as a psychologist isn't very helpful. It's mildly concerning for medical professionals and psychologists should generally be helpful and do no harm. Of course he's now painting himself a victim as standard operating procedure. A victim of having to learn how to behave as a professional.
Politics doesn't seem to enter into it. I'm sure there are plenty more red pills available...
... Toronto Sun is pretty far right in their bias.

Guess that means it’s all the same and acceptable for Republicans to do then. Unless others would like to posit their own other conclusions than that.

Nah. Just a Twitter thread of libs all knowing what is best for eachother.
And in more big news- SOMEONE made his first campaign stop! …wearing a pretty official looking “Mayor” vest, I might add !

I don’t do Twitter. Or insta. My kids are too young and im keeping them to scratch, Minecraft and roblox and that’s it. I do worry about my daughter though she’s a social butterfly. If she behaves in HS like she does now I worry she’d be one of those FR getting invited to the Senior parties and then I’m going to have to commit a whole lot of murders of adolescent boys. I don’t want to do that so she really needs to avoid social media.

Yes, though I have a few more goals in her upbringing but that is a baseline.
Just let my som watch head of state because he’s getting into chris rock from old SNL sketches so timely selection.

Always entertaining listening to guys trying to manage their daughter's behavior. The guy who had the very first daughter muttered to himself, after a few tries, "not a chance," and that has been the axiom ever since. But good luck.

She’s 8 so ive got time I just don’t know how she became a social butterfly so fast. I didn’t teach her that. Yes I’m generally fairly sociable and we host my friends when I’m around a bit but she’s like a sorority girl already. It’s worrisome-suppose it’s good she has a lot of friends, one slept over last night.

Keep her busy, set a curfew, be judicious with “sleep
aways”. Ran into neighbors the other day and asked about their daughter. Laughed about keeping her busy in high school to limit her ability to go to the frequent town parties….. USNA grad that did well and finished high in her class. The parents were helpful when mine were coming up. Both were in the school system so they had good vision…..$.02…..

Good advice I think. My challenge is a extremely low energy and inactive wife so that means a lot more work for me on top of digging myself out of a professional hole in 2023 but I'll figure it out I always have. Worry about her a lot more than my son though and not just the dad daughter dynamic - the impetuousness, seeming habitual need for screens, lack on natural inquisitive nature, etc. Maybe that's my fault for not developing more but I assume it's her personality.

It’s her personality more than anything else. The fact that it is on your mind is a step in the right direction. We were around a lot of WDGAF parents….

My two cents:
Keep their phones in the kitchen or somewhere that they won't have access to until the late hours or all night. Same with laptops and ipads. You can get a modem and put it on a timer too.
Start them with chores as soon as you can, its a real pain to get it started, ("Oh heck, it's easier if I just do it myself"); very much worth it to them down the road.
Family dinner at the dinner table as often as you can, Sundays could work.
Limit sleepovers when possible.

I’ve failed 3/4
Sleepovers every 6-8 weeks or so.
Chores are a battle like something you’d see in UFC. And I learned from my dad rather than have them redo their work I fix it (like making the bed poorly, they do it but then I come in behind and clean it up so to speak)
Wife got them tablets years ago. It f’ng pisses me off and the schools provide laptops and it’s hard to know when their screwing around on them vs schoolwork.
The last one is by far the worst and you can’t put that genie back into the bottle

Bit of advice is to have VERY open and honest lines of communication with daughters. They need and respect it.
The other "smart" thing I did was surround my daughter with 4 brothers (all over 6' tall and ranging from 195 to 235 lbs).
Two benefits:
1) the brothers watched out for her, so did her brother's friends;
2) boys were never a mystery. I watched her friends go boy crazy in/around middle school and she never did. I think there was a lot of - "I've changed the diapers, I've seen their bathrooms, they just are not that interesting....."
