We had been stopping to look at a dead coyote by the side of the road for a week. I have always encouraged my kids to observe the full circle of nature, to understand death as much as they can, and luckily, we are able to do that often here where we live. We have not raised our children with any religion or belief in God, as a side note here, just with the ...[text shortened]... e credit goes to my boyfriend, because he knows I love skulls, and encouraged me to take it.

You don't see me having to invoke crack whores, drug addiction and cheap wine to make a nonexistent point and compare anyones children to abused children from broken homes in order to defend some obnoxious behavior.
You might want to work on your lack of compassion and tolerance. By your posts, I would think you are very disconnected from humanity.

Poor kids are the ones who's parents grow their children to obesity, inactivity, helplessness and ridicule. Poor kids are the ones who live in filthy homes with parents who don't give a crap about them or beautiful homes with all they could want but no love or attention. Poor kids are the ones who live in crack houses, crap-holes, dangerous ...[text shortened]... s skull will have a place on their mantel. They think it's cool.
That's real, my dear.

Well done! 🙂 Rec'd.
Originally posted by SunburntGood for you, Sunburnt! Keep up the good work of real parenting and ignore the ones on here, who probably think quality time with their kids is throwing a ball back and forth between them and taking them to McDonald's for a cholestrol burger!

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Scouts and Brownies go on nature trails and learn all about the food chain - including looking through owl pellets to see what they have eaten. I remember doing this as a kid and picking out the little skulls and bones of mice etc. We got rabbit's feet from our butcher to dissect too, and pull the 'strings' to make the toes work.
Too many people don't relate the plastic wrapped pieces of flesh in a supermarket to the real animal it came from. We just pay the slaughterman/butcher our conscience money and he does his job well.
O'Keeffe's paintings are beautiful, I love the flower ones too. 🙂

I don't see what all the fuss is about.
That said, it's really not something I would do with my kids. I would like to avoid (as much as possible) transferring any of my personal fetishes to my kids. Of course, every case is a different case and sunburnt seems like a kind and gentle mother, so it's really not up to me to judge her as a parent. I'm just saying I would do it differently.

Originally posted by PalynkaActually, my daughter is really into animals and their interior (she has the whole Vet thing going on) and always has been. She mostly enjoys looking at animals in this way. She initiates most of our inspections.

My interest is in skulls and bones.
My other two are not much interested in either, beyond initial curiosity. All three remained in the car while I took the head, and have not seen the head since it was part of the coyote. When you use the words "transferring" and "fetish", it is suggestive. I have been very clear about how I view my children's individuality and I am the quite knowledgeable when it comes to what they cannot or do not want to do or what is beyond their capabilities and desires. I ask them if I am unsure or I simply don't do something or refuse when I think it's not good for them.
Having said that, I've made a few mistakes as a parent. In ten years, it's impossible not to.
