More on parenting

It is interesting that in a world where parents who attempt to guide their children bu instilling discipline are abusers, parents who attempt to instill a preferred set of morals and religious beliefs in their children are "forcing religion down their throats" but teenagers who have unprotected sex are "misguided". Hypocrites. You don't want the parents to instruct them in ways to keep them from getting pregnant at a point in their life that might prove problematic but then when they do the very thing that instruction might have prevented then you demean those girls and they are suddenly victims.

And now it is adults, also, who don't know what they are doing. Take, for example, these English busy-bodies, calling themselves "experts", who complain about 45 year old women having babies...calling them "as mis-guided as teenage girls".

Once more we have social forces telling people that the things they are doing that make them happy really are NOT making them happy and are not the right things for them to be doing.

There are powerful forces in society today...and I do not limit it to England, Europe, or the U.S....these forces are worldwide and driven by a variety of factors....and these forces assume that anyone who is not performing or reacting in ways they prefer is, in fact, not happy.

Heaven pity the foolish girl who wants to wear heels and make-up, to cook dinner and be a mother. She has fallen prey to the patriacrchy and is dreadfully unhappy.

Why? Some people actually like that. Some girls actually enjoy being cared for...not because she is unable to care for herself but because maybe she enjoys that role. But of course she will come in for heavy criticism from the "progressives" because she is misguided, uneducated, and misinformed.

The same with anyone who voted for Bush, for example. The wise-heads of the left will talk long, loud, and with conviction about how mis-informed, uninformed, etc. they are. It never crosses their minds that perhaps their values are not the same as those who would vote for Bush.

Of course, some people have a locus for their morality other than loud public opinion. And sometimes that involves things deeper than why he went to war or what bills he may or may not sign. TO many people the judges he appoints are his most important legacy and it is a better option to have Bush style judges than Clinton style judges. Contrary to the accusation they are uneducated about the issues or misinformed they are often extremely well-educated on the issues and quite well informed...and they have a different conclusion.

But there is a movement afoot in the world to conform to a specific agenda...and no matter what a person knows, why they believe as they believe, the pushers of that agenda are going to demean their intellect and education level unless and until they get on board. Pretty pathetic.

And motherhood is one of those things. It may not be for everyone...and at different ages you might get different answers...but that is no justifiable reason for these idiotic talking heads to decide for these women that they are no longer prudent to become mothers. It is the people talking down on middle age women who choose to become mothers that are misguided. And that is the nicest thing I have to say about them at this moment.
