@827js I would question the moral integrity of any father that wouldn't have this same course of behavior. I'm pretty sure I'd have a few days of torture involved before I did it.
A huge sacrifice a parent has to make is knowing that if you're doing things that truly help your children to grow they are 100% going to hate you at times & they should. If you don't accept this & do the right things to teach them regardless of how sad you feel because of the empathy you naturally feel for your children then you are doing them a terrible disservice. It's one of the most selfish things you can do.
@LeahRain77 Wow. Just wow. 10 days.
Can you imagine the smell in that room?!?
I would've had to smear Vick's VapoRub under my nose all Silence of the Lambs style just to go near that room.
Give those officers a raise.
@BasedMikeLee FDR did more damage by the Marxist seeds he poured into our country than anyone today because unlike the communists we can currently see right out in the open, millions of kids only learn what a "great man and savior to America" FDR was. We need truth in education.
It is nearly an impossible task to convey just how amazing kids are to someone who doesn’t have any.
The best way I can describe it is this:
You spend your whole life thinking you understand love.
Then one night, you’ll find yourself standing in a room at 2 a.m., just watching your newborn baby breathe, just to make sure they are still alive.
And you realize in that moment that you would burn the entire world to the ground for the slow rise and fall of that tiny chest.
You become braver and absolutely terrified at the same time.
You start looking for exits in restaurants and worrying about that weird stranger in the parking lot.
You discover a capacity for anger and violence you never knew lived in you until you think you might need it because someone might hurt your kid.
The first time you see your kid, the entire world changes.
You realize you are meant to live for them… not for you.
And it feels good. It feels right.
Like a key to a door you have always been looking at but could never open.
And one ordinary afternoon probably while you’re folding socks or something dumb, it will hit you…
This is how your parents loved you.
This is what she felt watching you sleep.
This is what your dad felt every time he watched you walk out the door.
And you had no idea.
You spent your entire childhood with no idea.
It’s so beautiful, words fail to describe it.
It’s just right, it was always meant to be this way. ❤️
