the reason childeren strike such a cord in american society is because women run the show. the american man has castrated himself in the past 50 years.I promise you,(before thesexist cries start) that i'm not sexist. In my house I cook she cleans, et. et. Stuff is split evenly. Women are overly sensitive tokids, and i understand that it'sinstinct.For instance, my wife is a teacher at an after school program for "youths" (8-12 years old) (and yes she got in trouble for calling that age group childeren, don't get me started...) anyway, she had organized them to play dodgeball and apparently that's to rough of a sport. 4 mothers called in complaining about thierson being sore or a little skinned up because of it and what kind of afterschool program where they running that allowed thier child to participate in"contact sports"..Where was the dad on that one, why didn't he step up and tell his wife, what in the hell is your problem? Not to mention a little tough love to the kid for instance walk it off, man up et? If you give kids attention when theycry over dump stuff, they are gonna cry cry cray over really dumb stuff.If my son had complainedabout a rassberry onhiskneeit wouldn't have gotten farther than, we'll clean it outafter your done(unless it wassomething significant and i meanSIGNIFICANT).Not to mention my wife actually complaining to the Youth Center about it? No, Fin way.Dodgeball was banned at the Youth Center. I'll tell you what, this road we are going down scares me. This imaginary bubble that we project around childeren/youths/teens or whatever is a facade.
