Safety Uber Alles!
For God’s sake, enough of this idiotic safety cult. We need to get back to free range kids, end this helicopter parent crap and quit filling our kids to the brim with terror about everyone and everything.
Bugs the hell out of me when I make a small transaction at the store or wherever and the clerk wishes me “have a safe day!”, or “be careful”, or “be safe”. Hell last time I went to the doctor’s office they asked me if I felt safe at home.
Idiots. Lunacy....
I agree with free range parenting, as much as possible, and government (nanny-statism) makes a poor parent. Part of raising responsible kids, however, includes helping them learn skills to survive in a dangerous world. Competent kids don’t fear challenges.
