I created a “no politics” rule in 2020 that saved us from a terrible falling-out. We’d argued about politics, religion, whatever other stupid shit for years.
I mean I understand but at the same time I could never have those rules I expect to be challenged and I expect other people to be challenged otherwise how do people with asinine opinions change?
Case in point my daughter’s best friend has parents who are anti-vax you best know that is a button I am pushing consistently and firmly. I may not be able to change the parents but I ain’t letting that child be indoctrinated.
Not to mention it’s very likely to lead to problems down the line if you ban discussion and don’t work out problems
Take for example antivax stuff or thinking doctors are in for a conspiracy or something. That can directly lead to someone’s death. You do not want that to happen
Or social issues like regarding queer people, what if someone’s child realizes they’re queer? Then it’s going to blow up again anyway, and the child will suffer
Yup. I mean I 100% get the toxicity that Americans are dealing with and I’m blessed that my family does not have that problem but you can’t hold hands with closed fists. Someone has to extend the olive branch might as well be me.
