Is parenting just a series of cascading if statements?

It most certainly is with a newborn. It tends to get a little more complex as they get older.

more or less. think of the crying child as a check engine light. theres one damn light but an endless list of things that could have caused it.

like this afternoon how my daughter decided to lose her mind over a minor ‘booboo’ obtained hours earlier in the day. i can only imagine how fucked up it gets when theres boys and shit to worry about. I’ll just make sure i’m cleaning my gun when the BF arrives

Classic. I’ll just offer (after seeing 3 crops of pre-pubescent girls become women in my local community due to home school groups, mentoring, etc.) that this isn’t a winning strategy.

This is good for resetting expectations, once, but BF is adaptive, creative, and flexible at getting what they want (fucking humans). It’s like an insurgent in an occupied country - hard to deal with. Guns don’t work unless they weren’t serious.

Suggest teaching daughter what they need to know without any judgement, triggers, or programming (that prolly means you got some work to do.. all good, it’s natural). Trust them to make the right decision, with the power, confidence and skills to smear a dickhead’s ass over the ground. (Sorry - got carried away there.)

Had 3 boys. 2 oldest are treating young women correctly and worrying about the right things. The third is still too young. I’ll reference Billy Joel here with Catholic girls... “Only The Good Die Young” ...you can’t protect them, but you can arm them so Billy can’t have a go at them.
