Unlearning

One example of how: following what we learned about parenting from our parents may not always be the best way to do it.

It's not perfect and really just semantics probably - but I like the saying

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

What we know as people when our children are three is different from what we know when they are thirteen. Also, as a separate and only somewhat related fact, we are different and they are ...[text shortened]... eal.

I used to know just about everything. Now I know just about nothing. That took a long time.

I can relate to this.
Life changes and you have to adapt.

Some things which. Some things which were relevant may not be relevant any longer.

But seriously, you guys need to calm down and not be so aggressive and paranoid.

Oh, the irony. Again.

A summarization of your opinion on what has been said!

Are you bias when it comes to what kewpie and goad say? I think that to be a fair question.

I don't have any bias.

I'm just trying to be nice and calm and logical and sensible.

Why must you try to take sides?

I respect all. Even those who don't like me.

I have declared my true identity to Ghost and to Ponderable and to Drewnogal .

I have nothing to hide.
You can speak to them if you want to.

Agreed.

There is no word childing - but we invented a word parenting, as if it is a verb.

I know this is from page 1...I’m just catching up...

I rather like the word “childing”...an action I hope to practice on a daily basis.

Thanks for inventing such a good word.

So what about it?
Have you got a problem about it?

Are you going to spout more bile and negativity just because
A. I was Johnnylongwoody
B. You don't like Irish people.
C. You continue to troll me because I argued against Brexit or are you happy to know that I am not phil a dork?

I was abroad for years working.
I'm back in Dublin now and I decided to have another look at this old chess site.

I am entitled to do so and may consider subscription as I paid in the past.

My presence here is just as good as yours or anyone else.

If you cannot reply favourably then don't reply at all.
