This needs to be my mantra. I need to accomplish my dreams for the right reasons.

With all due respect to the people who wrote these, I think that you’d make kind of a shitty parent if you never made your kid do anything they didn’t want to do. Honestly, it’s kind of how I was raised, and sometimes I find myself wishing I’d been given more structure and dad more discipline instilled within my character. You’re not always doing your kids a favor by making them think the world revolves around only what they feel comfortable with.
I’m not sure who is the worse potential parent here, the one who wrote the original rules or the one who crossed out and rejected them…

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)
