So I’ve got 6 kids 16 down to 7, I am highly opinionated and vocal at home. My husband is cool with it but one of my kids has no filter and has said stuff at school. He is 14 so I told him to be careful what he says but he likes to joke around and he asks lots of questions. I have told him never apologize for being who you are, especially as he is a white child and CRT is seeping into our district. I like to keep my kids educated on the evils of the world, to think critically, and trust their intuition… but sometimes I worry it’s too much. My daughter, fine now, but part way through covid would cry at night worrying we would die. Granted she is a very passionate girl so I expect some drama, and she is 9. I let them listen to X22 with me and they constantly want to know what I am reading or anytime I talk to their dad. Am I wrong?

They are! I love how fun they are to talk to and in general. I fought the schools to get masks off my kids and my daughter was the first to be brave enough to ditch it and got on me when I was feeling nervous about going maskless. I got her an exemption for school and she proudly walked in not caring what people said to her. My kids think I’m easy to talk to so it helps. I never felt comfortable talking to my own mother- who happens to be crazy liberal. I love talking to my kids.
My mom also. Sad.
Keep up the fantastic work!
