Satan Wants Your Children

I think it is wonderful we can digress and then come back to the point initially posted.

If I were to become a parent, I would choose not to allow social media on my child's phone.

That is so courageous Winter. You would be in the small minority who really control what goes into our precious one’s minds. As I said before; our sphere of influence on our Children is small,
Be vigilant Winter.

I recently asked my daughter who has a child of her own and is in her thirties if she felt scarred or felt left out because of the censorship that my wife and placed in her life. She was very positive and said how she remembers the times that she and her brother had craft days and the games we used to play. Half of our cupboard was full of board games. It does take effort and perseverance but let me tell you it is worth more than precious stones or gold Winter.

This disconnection initially left me feeling anxious and lonely

I do agree with you in regards to social media. If you rely on people to make you feel good I can only assume if a negative post is posted it could potentially cause sadness. Community is very important to one’s growth. Maybe sharing your initial struggle could help others as well and could also be cathartic.

To control what my future child consumes, I would opt for reruns of older TV shows and modern Christian movies, carefully selecting content based on reviews and personal viewing. Ensuring the protection of my child in a society saturated with potentially harmful media is of utmost importance.

There would be a lot of mums and dads here who have young children. Maybe you could collate a list of what worked for them and what their preferences are in regards to tv and movies. Add that to your own list and that could be a starting point for you. Well done Winter, you are on your way already.

Every Christmas my wife wants to go out and buy tons of things for the children especially the grandchildren and so on and I almost every year I tell her why don't you get something you can do with the children like some kind of craft thing.

Rarely does she ever listen to me on that stuff, but I remind her of all the good times that we had with our children making crafts and I'm in I made a hammerhead shark with a couple of 2 L bottles and a lot of paper mache and my son loved that thing for years it was beat up but he loved it that's when he was little. More like the rat puppet that I found that I used to not just tell stories with to the kids but it pretend the thing was alive pretty much and I take it with us on a Sunday afternoon and pretend you know like pretend that the rats coming up you know come up out of my pocket or something like that they have a St Patrick's Day hat on or have a heart for Valentine's Day or something. But all those type of things that are really work on the imagination really are much more memorable than anything they got out there today.

I had a cow puppet for a while, which I used to tease my wife with for a long time I take it with us on dates, and in the summertime with the windows rolled down I would tease my wife terribly. I would put the cow puppet on and start screaming out the window help I'm being cow-napped I'm being cow-napped, to which my wife would be trying to hold my arm down, so it really helped the image of the cow being kidnapped. LMAO

Other than having arguments with all these guys here I am quite the character, and I think that God allowed me to be born on April Fool's Day for a good reason, as it's quite fitting for me.

I find a lot of humor in doing silly things I think The Far Side Comics really touched me in a good way. Just the humor was off the wall. The two bears with the one having a scope on it pointing to the other bear. Or writing letters and making stick figures on the side of the letters like you're climbing the walls or something. There's so much fun to be had if you just know how to blend it all together
