My girlfriend is of the progressive stance when it comes to raising our son. Just the other day he was whining about getting a snowball from the stand down the road. I got him one because he's not a bad kid. When we got home, I put him in some old clothes and gave him a brief rundown of the weed-eater and showed him where the emergency shut-off was and the extra weed-eater string, where to locate the PPE and extra fuel. I locked him outside and told him he wasn't allowed in until the entirety of the property's perimeter had been hit. My gf flipped, asking wtf I was doing. I explained that he needs to learn the value of that purchase and that nothing comes without a price. APPARENTLY, in today's progressive America it isn't ok to leave a 3 y/o outside with a two-stroked weed-eater. Pussification of America continues.
