There are some interesting...Hi Nikki and Scottie;<br /> There are some interesting extremes that come with kids and parents: if we are enamored with "what is best for the kids", we can remove children and place them into some presumed "ideal". The other side of that, is that we fail to see a child as a real human being deserving of our care and respect. Like everything in life, we need common sense and balance - the two things government agencies typically lack.<br />hugs!<br />randyrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-62962114793288189052012-06-27T15:42:29.391-07:002012-06-27T15:42:29.391-07:00My question is this.

Would all overweight parents be treated the same...or just perhaps the poor ones?<br /><br />I can attest that having a female and male parental structure is not always the best, just as having multiple parents is not always the best.<br /><br />It is not the rights of the parents, but the children we need think of. I don't have all the solutions, But I know it stops being right when children are though of as things that are owned, instead of people.

So glad to hear from you...Hello My Friend Miles;<br /><br /> So glad to hear from you. You are so right, parents don't own their kids. I sometimes even struggle with the concept of owning my dog... Owning creates the freedom of disposing. But there are some who have that too close in mind. I just saw a story on the news of a politician in California who was video'd whipping his son with a belt for dropping a ball while playing catch. <br /> Discipline requires love. It is to teach, to educate, to encourage and direct. It requires love because it isn't about creating a cookie-cutter copy, but to develop a great person.<br /> I don't know what can get in the way of that. I have known heavy people, I have known thin people... weight just doesn't seem an issue for me. Care, love, discipline. These are a matter of the heart and mind, not the body.<br /> I don't know any answers, and I am so glad you wrote your thoughts. You definitely had a much different upbringing than I did, and surely a different view. I am just so afraid that the government gets too involved, and almost equally concerned that the government would become callous to our young people.<br /> Caring hugs to you, as well!<br />randyrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-74532302953934281602012-06-23T15:00:37.944-07:002012-06-23T15:00:37.944-07:00Hi Randy,
it is not that easy.
I think, that there...Hi Randy,<br />it is not that easy.<br />I think, that there is a right to paren, but this has to go hand in hand with responsability to act in a responsible manner on behalf of the kid.<br />I 'll give two examples: <br />the first: I made a blogpost<br />on http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4kxeoesUm1rw4rgfo1_500.jpg.<br />I can only say: <b>parents don't own their kids</b>.<br />This is some oldttestamentarian view on children.<br /><br />the second: When I bacame an orphan ind the aftermath of WW2,I happend to come to to a family taking me in as a fosterparents. They got money from the state for doing so until I was eighteen. Some considerable amount was not spent for my wellbeing but for the inheritance of their own kids, When the foster parents dinally died. This could happen cause noon controlled how the money was spent.<br />how would you call that?<br />and finally to heavy weight-father:<br /><br />I cant say yes or no, knowing only such a few fact about the childrens situation.<br />for instance: <br />1. When did those fights with other people end?<br />2. When did the man start loosing weight - cause his heavy overweight doen't not seem to be some kind of illness? <br />3. Was his loosing weight just induced, when the kids were taken away from him?<br />4. How were his two sons influenced by their father weighing <b>520 pds?</b><br /><br />These examples just leave us with more questions than answers.<br /><br />It is all questions, how far "parents" - or Foster-parents" <b> are responsible for the well-being of their upsprings</b><br /><br />So I deeply question the responsiblity of "parents" calling their own sons or daughters names because they are gay. <br />But this mostly seems to be a problem among the <b>oldtestamentarian "christianity" led society.</b> - and those Society-managers acting politically on behalf of those, who think to profit by this fight of human rights.<br /><br />caring hugs<br /><br /><3 milesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
