If you are not taught values from your parents, I'm not sure where they come from. :dunno

Moto gender reveals.....with cheering crowds and all
My parents were capable of imparting a sense moral values upon me without a ridgid dictum of the ideal person they expected me to be.
Really?
Well that's the whole problem with gender reveal parties is that it's the parents revealing the gender when they don't know the identity of their own child yet - because the child doesn't understand their own identity yet.
Ideally the child should decide what kind of identity reveal they want to have - if they want to have one at all. After, of course, they decide what gender they identify as.
If you're gonna do one, they should look something like this. They don't have to be enby, but it should be a celebration of the kid's own identity, not whatever identity the parents project onto them.

I mean, look at how goddamn happy that kid is.
I'm not a breeder and can't relate to this stuff at all. Happy to celebrate a new arrival but the whole gender reveal stuff is seriously messed up. And when people die as a result? Tragedy when it's a guest and Darwinian when it's a host.
We asked the Docs/techs not to reveal the gender of our now 35 year old daughter.
I guess that is now odd?
Yeah good luck telling a toddler to "hold space". :laughing My boy would probably identify as a fire truck or something.
Anyone ever see the one where some bro put pink confetti down the pipe of his 450 and then held it wide to bounce it off the limiter to reveal the gender out the exhaust pipe. Ha. Ridiculous.
As a parent of four I was very interested to know their gender ASAP. Was dying to know everything about them. Any piece of information I could gather was interesting. Was dying to see what they looked like too. For me it was just part of my interest in them, on all levels.
Have you figured it out yet?
With my kids, I laid down a solid foundation to support a perspective of human decency and striving for excellence as underlying support for the kind of people I wanted them to become.
I didn't tell them what they were supposed to be, but I did tell them the reasons for why they'd want to have character and principles guiding their decisions throughout their life and why it was important to be guided by those principles.
The idea that neither of you had any values taught to you by your fathers is utterly bizarre to me.
How on earth you ever figured out any sort of sense of moral responsibility must be a weird story.
I mean, isn't that what your statement I was responding to indicated?
If you are not taught values from your parents, I'm not sure where they come from.
teach by example, not direction. my dad simply was a person id like to be like. its perhaps the least bizarre thing ever.
I have not a single complaint about my upbringing, nor a single negative memory of my father. not one. I cant think of a single thing I wish my parents did differently, no matter how miniscule or trivial.
you can be implicitly taught as opposed to explcititly taught. that being said, my post was more about telling somneone the way they should be in the more tangible ways, like job, educationbm life path, things like that. obviouslyt my dad talked about being a good person and stuff, but it was never truly regimented and explicit in its direction.
What I was most interested in was hearing my kids speak. They are interesting people and I wanted to know what was on their mind.
I have fun talking with them.
So far so good, in terms of their values and character.Sounds legit. I hope your genespawn become exactly the type of persons you want them to be.
:thumbup
You'd think this thread would die from irrelevancy.
You'd think. But people.....
I think the gender reveal deaths are still way behind the "selfie on a cliff" deaths though.
