Well when your kid tells you a funny story about how they almost died doing something very stupid that they thought was funny, are you supposed to laugh along with them?
The question is: how do you tell them?
Turning into a lecture likely turns it into them not learning and no longer telling.
Instead, ask them what would have happened if… or something of that nature. And then tell them that they where an idiot.
Well, to me that is the lecture. Otherwise it is just yelling at them.
Well, no, but not every funny story ends with a near-death experience…
Agree to disagree.
Why even need to react? I just roll my eyes and let them gush.
Where is the line between 1) dealing with our frustrations with these fascist murder clowns by rendering them as trivial and ridiculous, and 2) normalizing these fascist murder clowns by making them funny and relatable?
I don’t know the answer.
The line is the lecture. The trait of talking for an hour and teaching nothing and saying nothing of value. It’s only for the parent to feel good about themselves. Pure ego stroking.
I’ve been lectured at for hours. Literally none of it meant anything other than “this person don’t actually know shit and really wants to make sure I know that, too.”
That’s a weird little family.
Love is love. You don’t get to choose your family.
God that guy is fat.
Just like your mom
