My son

I often think about the world my son is growing up into. As a mother I know how hard and cruel this world can be to people, and how difficult it is to survive. I think the youth of today have it really tough in this world, they have to be even more educated than before, they have more competition, it is harder for young people to find work and suitable jobs. The amount of stress placed on the young people of today is terrible. I am going to work really hard to make sure my son has a head start in this life, does anyone else feel this way?
Do you think it's normal?

ok so what do you want? For your son to be a whimp and not have any competition. it is good that we are more educated as that will provide more jobs.
your sons a fag

he should play russian roulette with a fully loaded pistol
Most parents do, but you ought to get some confort in knowing that the worlds like that since...hell since we learned to walk upright, its normal for you to worry about such issues but you shouldent forget, we as a species need a bit of stress and yes, even danger, in order to mature, just dont be overzealous.



Peace, jah bless
Yes I feel the same way. My son is still little only 11 months. But I plan everything for him and afraid about his future too. I only had high school education. It's hard for me to go find a job that I want to work for. I feel like when my son grow up, I have to push him for more education. What if our son or daughter can't get enough education? They can't work at the office or work for the job they want? It's very hard. But we can't push our child to study like crazy you know. This world changes a lot and it just make our life more difficult because of education.
Agreed. But if you don't like the way the world is, then why did you bring a new life into it?
All mothers feel this way. It is the nature of parenting (good parenting) to want better for your offspring than you yourself had.
Yeah the world is tough and it is hard to make way in some areas. but sheilding him from this can cause more problems for you in the future. He will be dependant on you for most of his life if you try to help through everything and bail him out of troubles in the future. the best way is to let him make mistakes in life so he can learn and grow from them. our younger generation are meant to battle through this hard life and to struggle and to taste the dark parts of lfe such as drugs alcoholism and shit like that. if we were sheltered by our parents and shown the right path to go and to be protected by parents so we don't get bought up in a rough world whats the point of living life. we are meant to have the ups and downs. the only thing for the parents to do is to give advice and not tell us how to live and what to do and definitly not to protect us from life. But to also encourage us to live it the way we want. trust me love. don't shelter him cause it can destroy he's life in the long run. u would be doing more harm than good
Stop worrying. he will probably join the army and get blown to fuck anyway.
my son this,my son that, doesn't he have a dad ? the trouble with today's kids are the majority are bastards and are brought up by mums
most parents feel that way but u need to make sure ur not babying him b/c then he will rely on u for the rest of his life. and thats not good.
I agree with jesusfallen your son indeed is a fag
Ah...something you should have thought long and hard about BEFORE you spewed forth more human filth from your vagina, perhaps? Seriously, did you not think this through? I BET you put more thought into the last car you bought. You make me sick...mindless breeder. CLOSE YOUR LEGS and think about the life of inevitable suffering you have burdened this child with. You are selfish, vain and egotistical. Why else would you bring a child into the world if not for your own (mislead) personal satisfaction?
@: cop15
Eh, fuck you fruitcake.
That was for Cop15, by the way.
I am 18, and these are some of the things that go through my head everyday:

Money and a job. Food, water, clothes, electric, sewer, nesscessaries. Shelter. Train hopping, bus-riding, rapists on every corner, muggers threatening to grab you by your hair and slit your throat open in the middle of the city in an alley (if you're stupid to go there).

My advice, as your kid grows up, don't piss him off or ruin him like my parents did to me, because you probably will get the worst outcome, don't suffocate them.

Everyday, me going to live under a bridge is on my head, and lemme tell you, that life is short-lived, and that's the pressure, so you all can grasp it.
thats 2days society sweetheart u cant protect ur son frm life u gotta let him go thru it and get urself 2getha
