@mulaney Thanks for coming to Macon on Saturday! My friends and I had a blast. The team names we selected for Beat the Bomb! on Sunday were inspired by your show! 🤣
Something really profound happened at bedtime tonight.
During our nighttime routine with the kids (stories, song, prayers etc), I had a moment of impatience with their mother.
“Could you just chill?” I said tersely.
My 5-year-old almost immediately mimicked me.
“Mommy, chill!” He barked.
I felt so embarrassed in this moment. I knew it was ME who set the example for my son to speak to his mother like that. There was no one else to blame.
I didn’t even feel like I was justified in disciplining my son given that he was only copying my behavior.
My ego tried to keep me defensive and angry, but I know these moments matter.
I swallowed my pride and said clearly, “I’m really sorry if that was disrespectful. I never want to be disrespectful to you.”
Mom thanked me for the apology. But it was what happened about 60 seconds later that floored me…
My son leaned over to me and asked, “Should I say sorry to mommy?”
“That’s up to you. I felt like I was disrespectful, so I felt like I should,” I replied.
After a long pause, my boy did the right thing.
“I’m sorry for being disrespectful, mommy.”
My inner dialogue: “Holy sh*t.”
As men, we are the trendsetters in our families. We set the tone. Our behavior and habits, not our orders and demands, will determine the kind of children we raise.
Tonight was such a powerful reminder of this.
We cannot be perfect. We cannot be perfect parents. But we can show our kids how to respond to our imperfections.
This is Sage Blair.
Her school "transitioned" her to a male without letting her grandparents/adoptive parents know and encouraged her to use the boys bathroom despite her getting rape threats.
She had a psychotic breakdown, ran away, got kidnapped, and got raped and sex trafficked by multiple men.
She was eventually rescued, but the public defender claimed that the parents weren't "sufficiently affirming" of her Sage's gender identity due to her grandfather/adoptive father calling her "she" when overcome with emotion, so the parents weren't allowed to have her back.
She got put in a boys juvenile facility since she was a "boy" and while there she was sexually assaulted again.
She escaped the facility and was once again kidnapped, raped, starved, and tortured.
Eventually she was rescued and reunited with her parents, but she has to go to tremendous amounts of therapy for the rest of her life.
The grandparents/adoptive parents are now suing the Virginia school board where it originally started, the school counselors, and the public defender.
It is absolutely insane that Sage had to suffer so much all because the school didn't say anything to her parents in the beginning.
