If I have misunderstood what you have stated I'm sorry, I just find the inference that a woman's role being that primarily as backward.
I don't know if I'm reading this thread wrong but I saw WW's actions as trying to protect his son and family from destruction such as
I think one of the issues here is that we don't know WW's son. We don't know his temperament. We don't know the family dynamic, and we also don't know WW's parenting style, other than what has been mentioned here.No, I do realise at 17 you're not seen as an independent. However at 17, I bought my own car, paid insurance, petrol, repairs etc myself. Most of my peers had their cars bought for them and didn't even pay for their own petrol. I also paid my own phone bill, worked two jobs AND continued to do plenty of sporting activities.
I have been living interstate for the past 6 months, paying my own way completely as an independent. When I moved here it was less than 6 months after I turned 18... Which doesn't make me much older than your Son.
Need I mention, yet again. I am 18, a very similar age to your Son, I live in another state to my parents and hours away from any other family - You have no idea how hard this is for me, but I do it every day. I get up early every day and take myself to work - because I know I won't have a roof over my head, I know I won't eat, I know I won't be able to do what I love, which is skate.
I don't have any friends, besides the ones I have met through my sport or my boyfriend. I don't have a huge support network of people around me to help out when times get tough or help me to run away from the reality which is life, but I've put myself in this position because I wanted to prove myself to everyone that said I couldn't and because I know I can do and be anyone that I want to be and you know what, I'm going to be great - I'm making my parents proud, myself proud and I know I have so many people cheering me on.
So you and others, can try to bring me down. Try to compare me to others my age, but I'm nothing like your Son, his friends or my old friends. I don't need my parent's, boyfriend's or Government's money - I'm making my own and holding myself up on my own two feet and will continue to do so.
Oh, and for the record. I'm going to be more than a wife and a mother and I love the fact that these are your only goals for a woman, to be a wife and a mother. I'm not a feminist, but I know I can do more in my life than raise children or cook for four.
the assumption of Lil Skater in the future primarily being a good wife and mother.
Hmmm...... it appears that I missed this post.Lil Skater, Your more liberal views are a new phenomenon, no more than 20 years old. I can tell you many of the new freer trends regarding child rearing will have more bad consequences than good. That is my view based on living in many countries and listening carefully to several generations of parents.
You would do well to talk to older people and find out how people have lived before your generation. Read history and understand what your forebears valued, and what you should be prioritizing most.
After you have done this, you might be better prepared to be a good wife and mother yourself one day. In not mastering impulsive behavior, that behavior will control you....and you will be worse off for it. It will deprive you of more options than it will open up for you.
Self discipline and self mastery might sound square and suffocating concepts to you......but I promise you that without it, you will not achieve 1/10 of what you can with it. You will just compete with 85% of the population who don't value these concepts highly.
If you really want to excel at something, you have to learn to apply yourself, be disciplined, master impulse. That is what we prioritize in bringing up our boys. When you have children of your own, you will be free to use all of your new found ideas on them.

In all honesty, I really don't think WW is trying to bring you down. He just does not know you. You are definately not the average for your age.
Due to recent events at our place, TBH and I have discussed monitoring the kid's computers for a while. We were interested in tracking messenger and facebook conversations and websites visited.
If anyone has experience and recommendations re software, I'd appreciate it.
I've had a bit of a search tonight but it is hard to know how good these things are.
My appologies Lil, it does seem that there was a bit of an unwarrented personal attack there that I missed.
Hello WW
A bit off topic , but does your router allow keyword blocking? block any site with specific text - google, the "m" word ---- microsloth ;
Limit the lappy IP's when they have access to the net.
Activate the logging functions that are embedded in the router firmware.
aaarghhh
Hi aaaarghhh. Yeah I've had a look at shutting down various ports.
I have a Billion as a backup router, and will get that out to see if its network rules are more comprehensive. Hope you are well these days.
Make a few rules so TCP:5190 (AIM) traffic goes 127.0.0.0 or somewhere like that.
aaarghhh the bliss of endless timeouts.
cheers
