    I don’t give a fuck what you think. Gooooo fuck yourself right back.

    Your child (that you don’t have) is not my child. And my child’s problems are not the same as every other childs. That’s how things work.

    That you think, somehow, your parenting approach should be universal, or widely adopted, without considering that, i dunno, every child’s needs are different… shows you don’t know shit about parenting or kids. You seem to think that children are a monolith, that they all behave and respond the same way to things, and can all be trusted to do the same thing with the same materials.

    That’s not how kids are. Some kids have diagnosed, alarming and problematic issues with mental health and violence. And maybe, letting them just consume material unsupervised and without and controls is not in their best interest, or the interests and safety of other around them. But you dont seem to get that. You want to live in this world where every kid is perfect, and totally reasonable, mature, healthy and understanding of morality. If you’re one of the lucky ones to have a kid like this, maybe you’d have a different view on just letting them consume whatever material they want.

    Kids go on a shooting spree and everyone goes “why didn’t the parents do anything???”… “how did this kid get access to all this violent material???” And here I am, advocating that maybe parents should parent, and not let their kids just do whatever they want, get invovled with whatever they want… Maybe parents, who know their kids, should have some say in exactly what kinds of materials their kid has access too.

    and ya’lll are like “UMMMM actually, trying to restrict any kid is evil and bad, and you should let them do whatever they want”. Jesusfuck.

      I feel so fucking sorry for your kids if you actually have any. Hopefully they have a decent amount of friends with parents who aren’t pearl-clutching lunatics so they can get some exposure to functional adult behavior, holy shit

        okay.

        glad you, who doesn’t know anything about my kid, has such strong opinions on what they’re capable of handling. You, who has no idea what they’ve been through or experienced, yet you seem to think YOU know what’s best for them.

        Yea… cool.

          Your kid is your kid. Every library in the fucking world doesn’t need to cater to your kid’s needs. “Parent” is a verb, but you only get to do it to your own children.

            they’re not catering to my kid… that’s not what I said either. It’s a school public library, it caters to the public, kids specifically. And the public decides what appropriate for kids by consensus. I don’t know how much more bad faith you can read that as…

            And I didn’t say every library in the world… I’ve said multiple times that regular libraries can and should have that content and that parents can decide individually if they’re comfortable with letting their kids consume it. No issues with that, let parents, parent. But a SCHOOL library, which is tailored to children, should have material that the public feels is appropriate for children. Simple as.

          “then fuck off” he said, continuing the exchange.

          Stop pretending you’re a good parent, your emotional immaturity is apparent in this thread.

          Your poor fucking kids.

          Imagine being the child of a parent who desperately needs the last word. Misery.

            yup, I’m the real problem here. Advocating that kids aren’t given liberty to freely consume explicitly sexual material. That some topics should be left to parents to decide. What a monster.
