Well, remember, although you’re writing about a little girl, to the Jews every little boy is the potential Messiah; when I was growing up, my parents just thought my brother was another mick. It changes your perspective.
So it’s true: parents get the children they deserve.
Rush spent a lot of time discussing this article a few days ago.
That’s kind of what my kid did. He’s an aerospace engineer major who worked for a home remodeler for the summer. He loved the job, worked hard and made good money.
He’s absolutely nothing like the little twinkie in the article. In fact, yesterday, he and his friends drove cars to see carbon spewing jets at an airshow yesterday.
“We were listening to Raffi sing “
That would be the end of it for me. I don’t care if the kid were eight years old, it would be emancipation time.
Kid needs to go on a hunting trip.The kind where two go out but only one comes back.
She’ll move and leave no forwarding address.
She raised a kid who probably saw her criticizing everyone else for not being good enough.
He’s the perfect SJW - it gives him permission to bully his mother on many every day decisions, none of them good enough for him.
She should have slapped him the first time he criticized little things, or pushed him to do all the work. You don’t like how I tend the garden, your responsibility. You want us to recycle, you do it. If you want me to meet eco-friendly food rules, you plan the shopping list to fit the budget and get it.
Given the right to Vote was the beginning of the End.
“The first hint that my indoctrination was working came when Cory was 12. We were in Costa Rica, about to hike through the rainforest, and he refused to apply bug repellent. Despite my dozen monologues about mosquitoes carrying deadly diseases, he declined the oily liquid. As payback for my antipathy toward all things chemical, my boy spiked a 103-degree temperature and briefly appeared on the brink of death from dengue fever.”
So she lets the little tyrant - a MINOR CHILD - decide how he wants to roll with the bug spray and he ends up with his life in danger.
Bad, bad parenting. No bug spray, no hike.
My exact thought. She enabled a monster: “The first hint that my indoctrination was working came when Cory was 12. We were in Costa Rica, about to hike through the rainforest, and he refused to apply bug repellent.”
This kid needs a hand to the face. And so does his mother.
Parests scared of their kids: the (organic) fruits of liberalism.
It’s all your fault, Mom! This is what liberal parenting produces. Your kid has merely taken the lies you taught him to the next level.
I’ve got liberal relatives who have ruined their kids, too. I have distanced myself from them the past decade because I don’t want their sanctimonious Episcopalian vegan anti-American gun-loathing Northeastern Eco-brats (and those aren’t their worst traits!) around my God-fearing TULIP-believing Baptist patriotic Southern gun-shooting meat-eating conservative teenagers. Their utterly insane beliefs have led them to decide it’s wrong to lock their doors so they live in a big liberal hellhole with unlocked doors (in their old money mansion) and they never drive with locked doors either. Apparently locking a door would betray their unyielding belief in the goodness of all, all but Southern Christian conservatives that is. My cousin is married to a liberal PhD, a professor, who has caused her to utterly abandon our Southern family roots.

These hippy jack asses aren’t as concerned and caring as they posture. If I thought that I could better serve Jesus by foregoing towels I WOULD NOT drip all over people’s hardwood floors. Period. The author buys a plastic bottle of water and the kid folds his arms and legs and turns away from her and holds this angry, childish posture for the better part of an hour or more. These are just angry, selfish stupid asses who want a “plausible” reason to lash out at the world.
He sounds very much like an acquaintance of mine, only the gimmick is different. What’s going on is a revolt against parental authority, by identifying the unanswerable authority over the parent, aligning oneself to it and using it to undercut the parent.
My acquaintance did it with religion. He had a domineering father. No way could he have survived that, psychologically. But his father was a church-going, God-fearing man. So he became super-religious. From his early teens he was the most devout, assiduous Catholic you ever saw. He became a deacon and a counselor, and he runs everything from picnics to parish office to parochial school, and he’s only 30-something but regarded as the venerable wise man in his parish. Nice fellow, yes, but horribly judgmental and an insufferable expert in all things godly; you talk with him ten minutes and you gather you know nothing and fall pathetically short. Why is he like this? Because this was the one authority his father acknowledged as above his own. So the son made himself untouchable, unimpeachable by going over Daddy’s head. You can’t touch me, I belong to my Heavenly Father and I listen to Him alone.
Needless to say his father can’t stand him, but still can’t argue with him or tell him anything. Nor can anyone else.
The mistake the enviro-whacko’s mom made was to give credence to environmental views in the first place. Once it was clear to the boy that she bowed her head to that, he knew where the high ground was and he headed there.
If I was her I would move and not tell him.
Is this the letter/woman Rush was talking about, recently? Just curious. TIA.
The kid will be back for money...and she’ll be dumb enough to give it to him.
Organic food is grown using the shi.. crap that breaks down into the same nutrients that she calls "toxic chemicals" when they are refined and applied more efficiently.
