How does this tally with the theory that the kids of yesteryear weren't indulged and mollycoddled like today's youth?Originally Posted by Burney
fvcking hell! I'd forgotten how grim some of them were.It's no wonder we grew up too scared to let our kids go outside. The government spent a decade or so scaring the sh1t out of us.

It illustrates the point. The reason those films were required was that we were out there, playing in electricity substations and farmyards. It was fúcking carnage.
Kites and powerlines, gave up on kites after seeing that one. Proper terrifying.
To this day, I get the fear crossing railway lines - even when I know there's no electricity and that a train isn't going to come and cut my fvcking feet off.
We weren't mollycoddled, but we were bombarded by terrifying government propaganda to stop us taking risks. Then, when we grew up, we transmitted that terror to our kids.
I think it's more to do with my own inherent personality than any outside influence, but I literally can't lose sight of my kids for more than 5 seconds without my heart starting to palpitate and images entering my head of me on the news sobbing while viewers at home mutter "he blatantly did it".
Remember all those things you said about poor Maddie?Do you ever wake up in the night sweating with fear that karma might be a thing?
My efforts to mitigate against that involve speaking equally appallingly about my own children.Remember all those things you said about poor Maddie?
Well that's going to do fúck all.
God sees into your soul, m. He sees the blackness there and it pleaseth him not. He prepares a place of eternal torment especially for you, infinite years of the Devil himself raping you with hi9s enormous, forked devildick. Yea, thus was it written and thus shall it come to pass. Amen.
