I've known about that stuff since 5 so, yeah

Oh my god

My mom has been very open about things like that

Yeah we saw no need to hold back

Yeah I mean I grew up knowing nothing because my only exposure was my parents and youtube

He thought we were lying though lol

Like literally youtube gave me the talk

I wake up to this. Interesting

Like, if my kid asks and I feel they're old enough I'll explain it

Yeah

And by that I mean if they're 5 and up I'll explain it and answer their questions

Like I'll be open to allow good communication but I will have rules and stuff like that

I'll give my kid the talk when they're around 7 or 8 probably but if they ask questions I'll explain and if I feel they're ready sooner I will

Yeah, that's what I'll do too

tbh my whole parenting plan is don't be my parents because like y'know they kinda suck

It's only fair for them to know if they're curious

He was confused so w.e

Hes also smart for his age though

I don't want to be as overly protective as my step dad

Yeah

But I want to still be some form of protective

Like I'll allow them to hang out with friends and stuff

I don't want to be as protective as my mom cause that caused me to learn to lie to do shit but I don't want to be as not protective as my dad who let that stuff happen so I got put into some bad situations

But I'll message them occasionally to make sure everything's alright and to make sure they're doing Okay

And things like that

I won't stop them from hanging out with their friends in a public setting when they're teens

Yeah that's reasonable

Or even at their friends house when I know an adult is gonna be there

Yeah

And I'll make sure my kid/s know it's Okay if they need me to pick them up or something

Like I'll be there

My moms always been that way

But the woman is kinda ahead of her time

Shes almost 50

My mom would let me hang out with friends and stuff

It's my step dad that stops it the majority of the time

My mom made a deal with me since I have aspies when I was in high school

Like he wouldn't even let me go to pride at the end of the year last year because it was a public event and he didn't want me to go

Skip as many days as I need as long as my grades are b and a

I got straight a

But this year I will save money and I will buy tickets for me & my mother to go
