I Love Children

How's a 5-year-old supposed to prepare? If you want to talk politics w/kids, it'll probably be a waste of time, but feel free. But scaring them is about as productive as talking trash about your partner to the kids during a break up.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: I understand that people who are here illegally are breaking the law, and if Trump begins enforcing immigration laws, people will be leaving. You don't think if Mom or Dad will be going away, or the family will be leaving the country, a conversation isn't warranted ? How much scarier could things [i]get[/i] ?

Trump? Who said anything about Trump? I didn't, because the question isn't one of situational politics, but universal child-rearing. That means I could have used the name Trump just as well as Hitler or Stalin. The message would have been the same: children don't need [i]all[/i] the reality that reality can afford and won't do anything useful w/the information anyway.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: Please reread your own question. You mentioned "national leader", did you not ? In 2017 he will be the leader where I live.

But not where I live. See, I'm not in the habit of lecturing foreigners about their internal politics. As a parent, however, I have a lot to say about other parents who prefer to express their own insecurities rather than put their kids first.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: And that is your opinion, and you are entitled to raise [b][i]your[/i][/b] children as you see fit. By not specifying which "national leader" you mean, you actually [b]are[/b] putting yourself in the position of lecturing to others, who may have valid reasons for not keeping their children in the[i][/i] dark.
