Stop letting kids be kids

So now there is so many emotions and offensive shit people go on and on about. Adults do what you like, but let kids be kids. So tired of seeing parents force shit on their kids, from religion to what sex they will be or should be, sports is a huge one kids are forced into friendships and etc. Let them be born what gender they are, taking that away is so harsh as eating toe nails in salty water. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth thinking how could anyone. Let them enjoy all the fairy tales, cartoons and what goes with it. Let them fall down, play in the dirt, swim in the creek, take the bumper pads off them. You are making a snowflake, one that is gonna be so sheltered. Will be 50/50 if they can do it alone later in life ever.. Being cautious with our children is of course a right thing to do. But overly, come on it is a harsh world. Teach them about hurt, dirt, assholes and more. Teach them the good life and the not so good life. Can't always teach kids to turn a head at another or to take their emotions away. Let them have feelings mom and dad don't control. Like parents that say homeless guy is a loser and a bum. I agree to disagree on this one, solely because you have homeless and you have addicted homeless. Not too much of a difference, but both homeless, one collects money for habits and the other collects to survive. Or the guy with tattoo's is a bad guy and will hurt you, without the kid knowing. The parents are the paranoid one's and now passing their fears on the kids. Many many case's of this and that is papered facts. If we take the ability to teach our kids to survive. What you got when they need to survive ? One day it may come, whether by war, economy or a lay off. There is so much pain and heart break in this world. We still need to believe and have laughter, love and joy. We need to learn how to be broken, hurt, sore and confused. We need to learn to love, cherish and share. We need to know there are more then bad people and good people,as there are many more kinds of people out there. I won't say much about the fucking losers who teach their kids racism or tune their kids out with cash, video games and no descipline. That makes my blood boil super fast.. We all still need our own thoughts and not be told how to think. I am a parent of 5 and could never imagine telling my sons or daughters they were born something a boy/girl, but until they pick their own gender. They are only considered neutral until then. Kids are harsh in school and for a parent to put their kid through that. Fuck that bullshit, could never imagine that. My daughter is gay and made that decision on her own. If she wanted to identify as a man. As long as she don't touch my clothes. All good..That is how all kids should be, for me to tell her any different would make it wrong. I dont believe in deterring a child's decision, either or curbing it trying to get them to do what I think. Very selfish of adults, I wonder why people even have kids anymore. They are not fucking pets, they are not supposed to be adults for years. Why people want their children to grow up so fast is beyond me. People have this thing where they wanna make a kid to be how they want. So wrong, let them decide on how they will be. We can teach manners, respect and proper way of living. But making someone try to be something they are not. Is so wrong..We have parents who won't even hold traditions like Easter, Halloween, Tooth Fairy and Santa. All in fear of hurting our children's feelings or lying to them and worrying about feelings. Let me fucking say this, it has no meaning like it used to because the internet in the first place. So unless you shelter your kid. They already know the fake shit versus real or they not on the net yet, so be realistic. Let them be kids, taking them away from being able to feel sadness and hurt. You will have a depressed and mad child later on in life. Again kids need to experience many emotions and many interactions and activities. Now I strongly believe parents that have over weight children yes control that habit before it out of control. Let the kid go out til sun down, let them experience going to the mall, park and etc. They are not porcelain dishes and in 99.9 % they are coming home. The world is a shitty place and kids know that as they get older, they also know they can learn, live and learn to forget. They will learn what is out there and all you can do is teach what is on the other side. Parents that control the kids with what they wear, like come on now. Unless the kid is dying the hair all the time or dressing like a hoochie from the corner. Who care's let them try to find out who they are. Parents now try to curb their kids, not saying all. But some are trying to get the kids to come out at 5 years old and etc. I am sorry but no child should have to be confused that early because mom and dad. If a kid wants to dress the opposite sex. Who care's you are still mom or dad. Should it matter or do you try to encourage because you are not satisfied with what sex came out mom and dad ? To me it happens in many case's I see and read anymore. So facts are just let the fucking kids be kids. Take them hiking, camping, fishing, boating and go play in the mud with them. Kids love that shit, you should remember unless you tight wad parents. Were tight wads growing up too. Anyway let them be...
