😭😭😭 🍿 GIVE OSCAR GLOMPS & LOVE (& TREATS), AND PROTECT HIM FROM THE NASTY ADULTS WHO ARE FRACTURING HIS PERSONALITY!!!
[I wonder if his onii-chan is a part of the problem? Either way, I sense that [the Princess] Maid-sama is gonna guilt-trip the crap out of the others through the protection of a cinnamon roll. Heh. [Swords up]
@Cynic Manners are about mutual respect. An abused and neglected child is not going to by nature have the needed life lessons about love to implement the ethical foundations of manners. I can "politely" tell a person to "fuck off" and sociopaths learn to function within society, yet there are underpinnings that go beyond simple rules & customs of respect. I think first this little kid needs to be demonstrated love & then through that love & empathy learn to love others. Without that love, he'll not have the advantage to promote the positive behavior.
Do you let a person talk because it is "polite" or because you love the other person as a person & desire for them to be treated with ethical reapect, thereby giving them what they like others need/deserve while expecting like in return? Love thy friends & enemies?
In other words, are you following a set of rules to the letter because you only know how to follow them, or do you understand their implicit
purpose and seek to achieve the same/work towards achieving those ends?
Parenting imo requires comprehending the ends of our actions (, not merely adhering to a set of rules). Just like in mathematics or any other discipline, do we only know the rules & abide by them, or do we comprehend the rules along with their foundation, purpose, structure, formulation, origins, and more such that we are not slaves to our methods, thereby comprehending what our ends tend us towards?
