Yeah, mostly from my mother though

which I'll always be grateful for

Also, yeah

The problem I have with leftists is like

and this goes to welfare as well

The whole idea of "it takes a village" isn't necessarily wrong

It's just that they look at it and take all the wrong lessons from it

Back when that proposal was valid, the village was basically your extended family

You shared goals and values, and you knew what was expected of you

end up a *

Yep

The ... uhhhh

Bully Early.

what's the word

And often.

Aloofness?

Impersonality?

my brother's got custody of his kids. he's currently living with them at our parents place, so they're pretty much being raised by them

their behavior regresses when they go visit their mother though

Ah =/

I moved out of my parents' place when I turned 18, so my spawn's been raised by mostly myself and my brother

I used to work retail, I could tell the difference between kids with mom, dad, or solo mom.

which is why she's... pretty tomboyish

my brother's been trying to get a house but he's been really picky

Is she gay? do you need to transition her?

My daughter?

Have you gotten her on blockers yet so she can make the right choice for herself?

Naaaaaahh

I wonder when I'll move out

I didn't move out until two years ago and I was 27 then.

and struggled bad to get on my feet

yeah

My out was going back to school for a STEM degree
