like hey "lets try to find a good step-dad"

or w/e

Yes.

people diss on stepdads, but they're good people more often than not

Stepmoms aren't necessarily bad either.

(more often you're looking for a dad is what i mean)

@Goodwood of Dank™ not a goal, but at least finding a proper role model. Youth program instructors and the like, don't try to make them part of your life, just show respect to them and make sure your kid does too. Kids just need a template

due to the "woman near always gets custody" thing

actually ye

anyone who presents themselves as a "respectable authority"

Yeah, I hear ya.

even the single parent

but more than one is always better

A good step mom can be harder to find than a good step dad

im sure it can be

but you're looking for a lot more stepdads

Because good men are more willing to be the second husband than a good woman is willing to be a second wife

Nowadays, sure. But that's more a modern thing.

Thanks to the rise in hypergamy.

i suppose i get his point though

usually with women its like "i can find a willing husband the first time, why settle"

i guess

It’s ideal when the child understands why you say no and builds a decision making compass early

want the full parenting experience or whatever

Unless said husband is quite successful.

same could be said of every candidate

being a lawyer gains a lot more cred than retail by nature

Let them be stupid, within reason. And after they've messed up ask them what whent wrong. If they can't answer than you explain why it didn't work.

Being a lawyer is a lot of stress

But ya make those fat stacks yo

as a parent, you should be willing to punish them if they do stupid shit

Seeing my dad practice law growing up is the main reason I never once considered law school

but as another note, you better damn well not punish them for things not worthy of it

fit to the crime and all thatcrap

He only became a lawyer because his dad wanted him to. And I watched him hate his job for 25yrs before he retired.

oof

better phrase

**a successful career**

You see, from around 10 I myself started watching politics and reasoning n all this. Kept me from being a bad kid for the most part. That’s why I think kids should learn WHY things are right and wrong, and the consequences involved in real life scenarios

99% of people agree

I’m not saying that that method would work for all kids
