Wtf you think having kids is? You're creating a life into a VERY dangerous world, managing risks and trying to not sacrifice too much of the children's freedoms in the meantime is your sole duty. And still, they will die sooner or later. Also be hurt in so many ways.

Parents should expose their kids to dangers, as many kinds as possible so they'll evetually learn to navigate them as safely as possible.

Parents' primary job is never to protect at all costs.

Truth is that this is the first few generations raising their kids with internet technology. There’s a lot of shit out there that you guys shouldn’t be seeing as frequently as you are or as young. There are endless issues caused by the things kids watch and see.

Im 25 and got to see smart phones become popular in real time. I was 15 when I got my first smartphone, and at that time it was expected that your parent would check it. I was pissed, but the older I get, the easier it is to see why they did.

Teenagers are notoriously too young and stupid to see the obvious. They don’t comprehend the damage they’re doing to themselves. I will be monitoring my child’s internet use/phones, especially when they’re 14 and under, and that’s coming from someone who “hated my parents” for doing it.

The Tiger Balm will wear off and you're not going to die.

Please increase your fiber intake, if nothing else a glass of water with a tablespoon of Metamucil (or generic equivalent) every night. It'll change your life, I promise.

Also, if you're getting headaches, it's because you're straining. Using the fiber supplement will help you break that very dangerous habit. Consistent straining will lead to many problems in the future, prolapse being the most common.

At the same time parents can’t just enable their children to go do things that are unsafe. In your example the child would’ve gone to the unsafe places either way. While I’d prefer they have a phone while being unsafe, I also can’t take the attitude of “you’re going to do unsafe things so I just won’t even try.”

2 things, 1: Vaseline on the hole. Nothing else, if you're in pain, sorry, maybe preparation H.

2: now this one is very very important. If you're having trouble dropping a deuce, go buy a king size 3 musketeers bar, and a warm bottle of coke (not chilled). Eat the whole candy bar, then like 5 min later, drink a full glass of the warm coke. Maybe 2. Try not to burp. Go grab a book and hit the restroom. Problem solved.
