you know what you could have instead of children?

• a nice house
• a nice car
• really nice shoes
• diamonds
• open weekends
• vacations that aren’t “child-friendly”
• nice things in general
• basically whatever you want because children are expensive and material things don’t grow up to resent you

Study shows watching TV boosts self esteem of White male children, decreases self esteem of Black male and all female children. (x)

Boys making the transition from elementary to middle school are probably exposed to superhero cartoons, Jordan said, adding, ” ‘Superman,’ ‘Batman,’ X-Men.’ The lead characters of these shows tend to be male.”

A gender-neutral third-person pronoun has arisen spontaneously as a part of kids' slang in Baltimore

daisysdarkside:

I think I’ve figured out why people have such a hard time with the internet life. It all comes down to old notions of proper living and the taboo culture.

When my parents became parents I’m certain that they knew about and maybe enjoyed some taboo thoughts. I know my dad had playboys and…
