Being busy and distracted is no, absolutely no, excuse for an action like this. Children are an immense responsibility, as I'm sure you know, and if you are incompetent enough to not be able to handle it, then you shouldn't be allowed the right.
I don't think I would care to be dictated to by anyone, much less you, on how children ought to be raised. Suggestions, fine. But don't blast me with your almighty ego.
This goes to anyone else who reckons they can dictate what people can and can't do.
You're fucking joking me right?? I'm not dictating anyone. This is my personal opinion. If you find it 'dictative' then that's your problem. If you find it offensive, then you have a right to express as such. But I'd rather you don't assume you know everything and telling me I'm doing something I'm not. I'm not, in
any way, telling you how to raise your kids, if you have any, and I'm most certainly not forcing my views upon you. I'm stating my opinion. This is not "ego". Try looking up that definition again.
e·gos.
1. the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.
2. Psychoanalysis. the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social and physical environment.
3. egotism; conceit; self-importance: Her ego becomes more unbearable each day.
4. self-esteem or self-image; feelings: Your criticism wounded his ego.
5. (often initial capital letter) Philosophy.
a. the enduring and conscious element that knows experience.
b. Scholasticism. the complete person comprising both body and soul.
6. Ethnology. a person who serves as the central reference point in the study of organizational and kinship relationships.
I'm pretty sure my statement of
opinion doesn't fit any of that. Well...maybe 5. a.
