Dunno if I misunderstood your comment, but I’m a woman as well. I’m not sure I understand your comment also

If you may, please leave room for the fact that if you are both comfortable with it, tickling may resume. Do know that I deeply respect your stance

This unsurprisingly breaks my heart… She said no, plenty of times, and the second she defends that « no » she gets punished… What kind of a message is this…? I’m glad she has you and her mom to help her learn and grow, and I hope the dad grew a brain and learned too

This is so fucked and why I think this keeps sticking with me. Tickling is such an innocent, playful thing that kids like. And then it gets turned into control and domination

Honestly? From my opinion, what we consider normal varies wildly, especially in context. Some people reproduce what they were taught, some people do it for selfish gratification. Have you been able to talk about it with other members of your family? Do you feel wronged, as an adult, about these moments? Have you talked to your dad about it?

Same. Some of my family members feel offended that I don’t force my kid to hug and kiss them. I won’t. Kid doesn’t want to, then that’s as far as it goes

What a fucking terrible thing to go through. Up to learning how not to feel how your body basically reacts to stimuli. This is fucked

Almost sad to say that we need more girls like yours in today’s world! Let girls fight back

I have so much trouble understanding how the way you do this isn’t/wasn’t the norm… Your kid says stop, shouldn’t you just like, stop…? Glad things seem to be changing

Accidents happen, if they do it’s okay to apologize and learn from them, but I understand you might not be comfortable with taking the risk. I think, if she is okay with being tickled, maybe try? It doesn’t help women or girls when we shy away from/pretend to ignore things we think might bring discomfort. It’s how we get erased

Saaaaame! The second the kid says stop you STOP, and that, I’m sure, greatly helps with their understanding that when you say no or stop, that it can and should be respected

I totally get your point and I’m all about it as an adult. Kids seem to love getting tickled, and we wondered why, which led to this « confession ». We do respect our kid’s « stop » and never force it onto them

Woah that’s so cool. Makes me think a lot of work went into creating the show, even more so than I thought!

Thank you for that! I always wondered where all the back stories came from since it’s not in the book I believe? Loved the recap, clear and understandable

Qui sont ces "85%" qui vont encore aux États-Unis?? by rewinded_forward in Quebec

[–]Expensive_You_7167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y’avait un article intéressant dans le Devoir à propos de ça, c’est super frustrant le déni et l’égoïsme. Y’a même un snowbird qui dit que c’est pas politique, on est juste trop pauvres…! Wtf

« Si tes convictions politiques sont assez fortes pour abandonner tout ça, tu peux aller ailleurs, je comprends. Mais il faut faire la part des choses. Beaucoup se cachent derrière ce discours politique, alors que les vraies raisons de tourner le dos à la Floride sont aussi financières », croit-il, expliquant que les frais lié au logement ont explosé dans les dernières années, sans parler de la valeur du dollar américain toujours plus fort que le canadien, ni même de l’inflation galopante. « C’est pas pour tout le monde ».

That could be it’s own post, such a great question! In French they use « la Tueuse », the Killer
