Thursday Theories – Too parents, in the run up too 2022 and COVID/Omnicron

Now, I may be stepping on a few toes, but I not being a parent of skin babies. I am growing increasingly frustrated, by parents who make every frustration about COVID.

I have seen parents say that their child is frightened by COVID. Well whose bloody fault is that?! The only reason a child is frightened by something, is by parents. These parents COULD take the time to teach their child, about taking care of each other…But nope. I’ve seen politicians with young children, taking their child to a playground, when they know perfectly well that playground’s are OFF limits. Takes a photo of their children and saying how said their kid is because the playground is off limits.

It never works out well for them.

I have seen parents, make a child’s birthday entirely about the restrictions. “Oh how annoying, we had to get eat birthday cake outside”…For the love of GOD, please do not make a 13 year old’s birthday all about that! I actually make a comment saying that if they had fun, no biggie.

Just before Christmas, maybe not even a week. Tasmania had 4 children died, from a freak accident. A bouncy castle took off with the crazy winds we just had here. Be a little bit more than grateful you’re child is alive, healthy and safe. If you don’t have a good perspective, be grateful that others are looking out for yours.

Be a little grateful, is all I’m saying.

Wont someone actually think of the children.

Throughout my working life and studies, I have learnt a LOT about privacy and protecting people’s privacy and the very good reasons behind them. Apparently transphobes don’t actually care about children.

Children/Kids/Youth are their OWN human beings, with their own thoughts and feelings.

Recently Abigail Shrier decided to brag all over Twitter, how a parent was given a CONFIDENTIAL form, from a teacher because they had a “guilty conscious” that they were keeping a secret from the parents. What broke my heart, was that the child had written on the form that they were scared of their parents, and they didn’t want their parents to know, because they don’t trust their parents”…Yet, Abigail Shrier was acting like the teacher doing something completely illegal was good for “bragging rights”.

I honestly wanted to slap her when she said “I got the Mom’s permission to show this”….That’s not who you NEED the permission from “dear”.

What makes me more than mad, knowing what I know. Women and men are more likely to be attacked by someone they know, rather than someone they don’t. Children, that number is higher, for THIS very reason. Some parents see their children as THEIR property, and not their own human being. What this “teacher” has done, has not only outed this child without their permission, but has also put this child at a much bigger risk of being harmed by their parents. It’s illegal in pretty much every first world country to do this as well.

Then the parents turned around and proved their child right, by handing this form to Abigail Shrier, a anti-trans “Princess” who then posted the form on Twitter.

What is also sad, is on the form, this child’s peers supports them. It’s just the adults who do not. This is why I hate adults.

If your child, doesn’t want to tell you that they think they’re trans or they’re gender fluid or non-binary. That’s completely a YOU problem, and clearly for very good reasons. It’s also not the end of the world, as some parents make out.

Outing someone without their permission, has also NEVER been okay. Child or Adult.

Children’s Book Week … Australia <3

What a fun way to wake up this morning! I went onto Facebook this morning and I saw so many pictures of nephews and nieces and friends kids all dressed up for Book Week!

Book Week 2021 runs from 21-27 August and this year asks your children to embrace the theme “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds”. This year award-winning author, illustrator and film-maker Shaun Tan has illustrated the CBCA Book Week 2021 theme.

CBCA BOOK WEEK 2021

Each year since 1945 the CBCA has brought children and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week. During this time schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian children’s authors and illustrators. Classroom teachers, teacher librarians and public librarians create colourful displays, develop activities, run competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading. You will often see parades with students dressed as their favourite book character.

CBCA

I would love to know if other countries do the same thing, or something similar. Do you have a week in your country where Children’s reading really has a focus?

I also apoligise for my quietness over the weekend. I was really ill, not COVID ill, just your general illness, lol

Here to tell you parents…

You do not own your child’s body. Your sole job in life, is to make sure they know how to keep themselves safe, which includes, making sure they know about their bodies and their minds, and how their bodies and minds are all their OWN.

One of the big things that I have learnt while doing my Health Administration course. The biggest preparators against child, are their own parents, or a adult they know. Which is why, children and teenagers have a absolute right to their privacy when they visit the GP, or speak with a therapist.

PARENTS DO NOT OWN THEIR CHILD’S BODY.

*TRIGGER WARNING* – Violent abuse from parents against their children.

Fred and Rosemary West

From the evidence available, it is clear that with the exception of child sexual abuse, children are most likely to be abused or neglected by parents and/or caregivers (Australian Bureau of Statistics [ABS], 2005; May-Chahal & Cawson, 2005; Sedlak et al., 2010). Research suggests that child sexual abuse is perpetrated by a wider group of people, including parents, other relatives, siblings, friends, or others known to the child (e.g., sports coach, teacher, priest).

ABC News – Men and women kill their children in roughly equal numbers – Why?

Basically, a child, a teenager is much more like to be abused, sexual molested, experience domestic violence or even killed by a parent. Hence, why children and teenagers have the right to see a Doctor without a parents permission.

So no more from TERFs, saying how dare medical centers don’t ask for their permission to their child’s body. YOU DON’T OWN YOUR CHILD’S BODY. They are not your slave, neither are they your property. Why aren’t these “adults” asking why these children don’t go to their parents? Honestly, being the person I am. If my child couldn’t come and talk with me that they are thinking they might be trans, I know I’ve failed, as a parent.

Donate

One of the things that I REALLY love about Christmas is how much more people are willingly to donate or help others out. So I thought that I would post about a couple I’ve heard about or have donated too. This year and definitely more than other years, I’ve been donating. $5 dollars can make a lot of difference, especially if a lot of people do!

The first is for the animals, because who doesn’t love the animals.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

The next is for the Rape Crisis Centers in Scotland. Now normally, I wouldn’t speak about just one rape crisis center. The way though the Centre was run OFF of social media by so called “concerned women”. It literally made me want to throw up. Especially when these “women” accused the Rape Centers of being on the wrong side of History. After though, people donated to them like you wouldn’t believe!

It made me believe in the GOOD in people again.

Just Giving Fundraiser – Brenna Jessie – 16 Swims for 16 Days.

One for the children. This was actually really hard to find, because a lot of charities that support children, have come under scrutiny for not supporting anyone who doesn’t fit their “criteria”.

I’ve gone with UNICEF, mainly because I don’t *think* I’ve heard of them being bad. How terrible is that? You might need to look at your local charities for the kids. In my state, in Australia, a lot of retail stores do what is called a “Christmas Wishing Tree”. Where you can either give a gift (has to be new or not ruined), donate money, or you can donate money to buy a gift to be put under the tree.

Do NOT threaten Children! Why is this even a thing I have to say!

#Love4Maddie

I could NOT believe what I reading yesterday! I thought for sure that I was mistaken what I was reading…No, it was true.

Hate Trackers Online… Read and prepared to get angry!

Please read the above link before reading my post!

I am SO angry right now! I am going to try and keep this short…There is a sickness hovering over American right now. Until their “Leader” starts condemning “things” like these people…(I would call them potato looking things, but that would be an insult to potatoes)….The cancer will continue to grow! What a shocker all the Trump supporters only focusing on the transgender “issue”…It is NEVER okay to have a group of “adults” making plans to kill and bully children…NEVER! DO YOU HEAR ME! NEVER! NEVER FREAKING EVER!!! I don’t give a crap how you feel about transgender people…Until Fox News, NRA and Trump start condemning these people instead of joining them AGAINST CHILDREN…I don’t want to hear one word about how about the immigration issues are to “protect the children” WHILE YOU ARE BULLYING THEM!!!! There are no “fine people” who threaten to kill children! #Love4Maddie…That was me, keeping it short,lol

I have also decided that I am not going on Facebook for a VERY long time…Why do people keep expecting you to help them…But then do not help you! I am sick of it! No more selfies for Facebook either! What’s the point of doing nothing but selfies? If I wanted that I’d go to Instagram all the time,lol…Not ONE person expressed their outrage at the Maddie situation…Not one! Only two people donated to my Dry July…THEN people who did NOT donate, sent messages saying we had to help them! WTF! I am SO sick of Facebook!

STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO HELP YOU WHEN YOU DO NOT HELP OTHERS!

WordPress is legitimately the ONLY place I really feel like I can discuss actual issues…Other than how gorgeous we so clearly are! We don’t need to take photo after photos to prove anything!

Those Republicans!

After seeing many, many…MANY…videos of white Trump supporters lashing out and attacking children…Why do they keep having a go at Liberals for not caring about the children? You know, the same group of people who called the CHILDREN who had been shot at “crisis actors”

…Weirdos

The list keeps growing…

But, yeah, it’s the Liberals who don’t care about the children.

Share Your World … Week 35

Share Your World … Week 36

List 2 things you have to be happy about?

My furbabies, they were honestly the first thing that popped into my head. The other thing that popped straight into my head is just those who I am very close to. So my family, my partner, my good friends. I honestly don’t know sometimes how I got so lucky. I’ve been losing and getting rid of “unnecessary” people from my life. It’s been great!lol

If you could take a photograph, paint a picture or write a story of any place in the world, what and where would it be?

There is something about beautiful and powerful a sun poking through the clouds. I would love to be paint something like the below picture:

The other thing is when I see a gorgeous image like this, it inspires me to want to write about fantastical places.

Should children be seen and not heard?

My mum always takes pride in the fact that myself and my brother were well behaved children. We knew our inside voices, we knew how to behave in restaurants etc. It sounds like though she might have just been very lucky. So I’m not 100% sure, there are some terrors out there. Wooo, what a sensitive subject! I don’t want to answer,lol

List at least five of your favorite first names.

1. Lilliana
2. Morgana
3. Jasmine
4. Joseph
5. Anthony or Antony … Which the first name of my Dad and one of my Grandfathers. Which I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but they sound like strong names to me? Jospeh is my Great Grandfathers names…I’m starting to see a pattern here,lol

Inbetween

Child or Childless…Or are you an “InBetweener”?

I am an “InBetweener”…I can see myself having children one day, but neither am I obsessing about it either. I have my Furbabies and one day will have the ‘hooman babies’ too…Maybe…

This is where my random thought lies.

One of the issues that I have being an inbetweener, you are neither accepted by the “having children” group and neither are you accepted by the “choosing not have children” group either…You are alone in an ever expanding abysmal abyss.

My main issue apart from consistently feeling unwanted is what if I can’t have children, do I get excluded forever? Not having children means currently that people think my time is not valuable, that I can just drop everything at the last moment for their children, without even being asked if I am actually able to come…And to me, there’s no respect in that. When I choose not drop everything somehow I end up being the “worst person ever”…As I was called once when I decided to go to my friends birthday, which I had been asked to come to weeks beforehand, over not going to my cousins kids 7th birthday, which I had only been told about the night before.

I do mean “told”…and not… “asked” if I can come…It is amazing an amount of difference between those two words.

At the same time, I am also constantly left out of conversations by my friends who choose not have children. Take the past Mothers Day here in Australia…One of my best friends decided to tag every single girlfriend of ours, who are not having children and not me in a post about being furbaby mama…I am one too…So why leave me out as well? I found it extremely hurtful.

So I made a post about wishing every type of Mother out there a Happy Mothers Day. That’ll show them!

Libraries are Magic!

Libraries are still a magic places to visit, especially for the children. My grandmother was a Library Manager and I used to spend a lot of time at her Library and I guess it’s what has inspired me the most. It just feels like such a shame that more Libraries just don’t have the funding to make their Libraries looks like these.
