Parenting in a Bubble of Ignorance

2015-05-07 by dadgoesround 3 Comments

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

– Martin Luther King Jr.

Opposition to Sex-Ed

The parents who are fighting against the new Ontario sexual health education curriculum are choosing to to live in a world of ignorance and stupidity. They choose to believe that their children will be safest if they keep them isolated in a bubble of ignorance. Of course they refer to this ignorance as innocence.

5yo Friend to my 8yo: You are wearing a ring. Are you married?

My 8yo: No. I’m not even a teenager. I’m too young to get married

Other friend:  You can have babies when you are a teenager, but you have to wait until you are an adult to get married.

5yo: Yeah, when your stomach is ready a baby can just grow in there.

My 8yo: No. a man and a woman have to have sex to make a baby.

8yo sister of 5yo: We know all about the sex

5yo: Yeah, I know all about the sexing.

8yo sister: Our parents don’t like us talking about the sex in front of my sister. She is too little.

This morning as I was attempting to get my kids ready for school my six-year old put on a solid show of resistance. To be fair she feels crappy because she has a sore throat and didn’t want to go to school. She was also refusing cough syrup or anything to drink.

She is not so different from many adults. [Read more…]

Waited 23 Years For This Letter

A few months ago I noticed that my “other” mailbox on Facebook had some emails in it. These are typically spam so I don’t usually check this mailbox. This time there were four spam messages and one other. The one other had been there for three months.

This is the third in my series about options available to people facing unintended pregnancies as I did as a teenager. I have previously written on Abortion and Parenting. This article is about choosing adoption. Adoption is the option I have the most experience with since it was the choice we made.  [Read more…]
