Re: So He is going on a picnic with Julia…
And, see, this is exactly how little children argue. They bring up arm wrestling and other ways to “one-up” their opponent.
If your boys are your best friends, then go discuss your concerns with them. Or discuss them with your “squad.” Or put these stories in a blog instead.
It’s not “creepy” that you know so much about your kids’ friends. It’s actually better for parents to know things rather than remain in the dark and receive a shock later on. BUT, it IS disturbing that you’re revealing personal details about your family and other people (chock full of names and other intimate details) on this forum…even though we may never run into these people.
I don’t quite understand why you’ve even created a thread on this issue. It doesn’t seem like your “boy” is listening to you. You’re clearly not going to accompany him on the picnic or prevent him from going. Nor are you going to inform your “boy’s” girlfriend. And if you believe that the squad is helpful and if you truly believe that you and your sons can talk about everything under the sun…then you really don’t need to create a thread on this cuz you don’t need advice.
And if your intention is to “show off” to the anonymous virtual members that you share a great bond with your kids where you know about all these intimate details that …then please understand that it’s not a competition. None of the other parents on Gupshup are competing with you. They may also have wonderful bonds with their families, but they are secure within themselves to where they don’t need to “prove” anything on here…by telling the world about every single detail about their family. They’re not looking for validation or applause.
Of course, my real name is Bobby lol. Being healthy, strong and young at heart is a good thing. I do like to share and hear others perspectives. Even at work, I discuss with my staff before making decisions.
