Search Results: strict parents

I wasn't allowed to get my license until I was 18, and I got a used car for $700. Those were the days, eh?

With it, I primarily just went to college and back, but sometimes I'd go with friends to a trampoline park, a nature park, to my friend's house (his mom stays home), or the movies.

Before 18, I was a bit jealous of the other kids who got their license at 16 and a car the same time, but when I thought of it, I really don't know what I would've done with a car before then, other than drive to and from school.

Reflecting on the behavior of others, my parents made the right choice in not allowing me to get my license, and even better that they hardly ever allowed me out of the house. So many kids are going out to do drugs, drink, vandalize people's houses, and having casual sex.

I see this kind of behavior as a huge reason why society is plummeting so quickly and the days of strict parents and church needs to come back.

I didn't see myself becoming a father, but now, I find myself in a committed relationship where she's convinced me that I can do my part in raising good children this way and hold on to hope that the future might not turn out as horribly as it appears.

I plan to get them basic phones for emergencies and heavily restrict internet use to protect them until they're old enough to be immune to the constant societal regimentation that's trying to turn them into destructive degenerates that plague society.

For driving, 18 sounds just right, but I will want to keep an eye on them as much as I can to protect them from the people who seek to prey on them and brainwash them.

I want to meet their friends and their parents and be very picky about teachers and even more strict with their boyfriend's and girlfriend's.

Do you see a huge movement of this kind of parenting as possible for the future?

Here is my dad in a nutshell:

- American Christian of Jordanian-Palestinian descent

- born in one of the years of Generation X to both Baby Boomer parents

- supports legalized marijuana laws for individuals 21 and older

- kinda okay with gays, but not fully in-line with the LGBTQ community

- supports freedom and liberation of Palestine (including Gaza)

- hates Israel to the core

- hates guns

- likes electric cars, but really loves gas cars (though he also thinks gas, and especially diesel cars and their exhaust-based pollutions cause cancer); absolutely not a fan of diesel trucks

- originally wanted Barack Obama and Gary Johnson to win in 2012 and 2016, respectively; but now he is a full-fledge Trump supporter -- open and proud of it (except for his stance on Israel)

- super-pissed about California's gas prices (especially in his city)

- a huge fan of celebrities like Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg, Madonna, Eminem, DJ Khaled, and Tyrese

- also loves Elon Musk and the beloved Steve Jobs (I'm not sure he likes Bill Gates, though; maybe?)

- cares a lot for African Americans (to various degrees), makes himself aware that they are being oppressed

- sells (used) cars and trucks for a living

- does not care for Ukraine; well, he kinda does, but he doesn't like the current administration (thinks Zelenskyy is no better than Putin!)

- divorced once, married to another woman with two of her daughters (not his own)

- was both strict and cool with me growing up

- became more heavily anti-west due to the conflict with Israel and Palestine

- and naturally, he is anti-war and anti-violence.
