I am so glad my kids are grown...

[usmbguest5318]

I'm so glad my kids are beyond the age where I have to explain things to them that they come across by watching the news and late night comedy. Of course, apply all the traditional reasons a parent is grateful for that. Insofar as Trump has made his way onto the political scene, however, I now have a bevy of new reasons.

• "Small hands" -- I never had to explain that analogy to any of my kids, let alone do so when they were pre-teens or younger.
  
  
  
  
  
• "Watersports" and "Golden Showers" -- I don't actually know whether any of my kids knew what those terms mean. I'm certain I won't ask. What I'm even more sure about, however, is that, but for Trump, never would have arised a reason to even use those terms in one another's company and mean them in the "Trumpian" context.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "Playmate" and "Porn Star" -- Seventh grade American history classes must from this point forward teach kids what "porn star" and "playmate" means, which means those words must now be part of a sixth grader's working vocabulary.
  
  "Well, Tommy, this is a playmate:
  
  
  
  
  
  "....And these are porn stars:"
  
  
  
  
  
  "Do you see the difference?"
  
  "I think so. Playmates have big ears, but porn stars have big tits."
  
  "Well, now that you mention it, yes. So you're good on the difference now, right?"
  
  "Um, yeah."
  
  
• Spanking, pain and Dom-Sub fetishes -- I bet every parent's just dying to tell their kids what that's all about.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• What to do when your date compares you to his daughter -- Bet you never thought you'd need to teach your daughter about sh*t like that.

Our kids grew up in between what Clinton did in the Oval Office to an innocent, star-struck intern and the embarrassing beast we have now.

From cigars & blue dresses to watersports & hookers. So I guess we lucked out there. Phew!

It has, however, been useful in demonstrating to them how both ends of the spectrum love to feign outrage about the other guy while spinning for their guy.

Maybe you should cut back on your perverted liberal news sites ;.

Did you explain voting for a rapist, sexual harasser and a pedophile enabler to the kiddos ie. Hillary and BJ Bill Clinton?

Yes, my kids also got the "full frontal" of animal sex at pretty young ages. Dogs, cats, deer, birds, horses, plus all sorts of beasts if you include "critter tv." Even a bug every so often. "Daddy, Daddy! Look! Those dragonflies are stuck together. How do they do that?" That's not so hard to deal with; those creatures aren't humans; they're not role models; and they're certainly not "the" role model that a POTUS is supposed to be.

Elizabeth Windsor could have been a "slut" for all I know, but her husband, Phillip, definitely didn't want for company.

What I know, however, is that neither she nor he was of such reprobate character that "everyone and their brother" chomped at the bit to dish their dirt.

Of course, Trump never acquired the aplomb characteristic of what ostensibly was his class...And here we are....

The 90's and the 2010's have been ripe with sexual problems. I'm in the state of Missouri so throw in our Governor's interesting life. Blackmailing his mistress? I gotta see how this turns out. It can't be true, right?

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens' Sex Scandal Gets Worse

Each decade seems to have its problems though. The 00's were the decade of the Patriot Act and if I had kids I'd of had to explain Islamaphobia to them and the white powder thing.

The 80's I remember as the decade all our Cold War dirty deeds became accepted public knowledge. Well, for those Americans who read.

The 70's had the Nixon scandal and I THINK that's when being ignorant (I'm looking at you Archie Bunker) became cool.

The 60's had A LOT of problems from the racial / sexual revolution to questioning our zealous hatred of Communism in Vietnam.

Great post - I too am thankful that my daughter is now 22. She gets most of the Trump scandals - and hates the dude with a passion.

Having kids in the 5-14 range under Donnie Dumpster would be hell. I'd have thrown out my television.

True enough. But having raised kids, I find some of the decades challenges didn't test the limits of what I was of a mind to discuss with my kids. It's not much that I couldn't or was unforgettable discussing them, but rather that I just didn't figure I'd need to, or need to as soon as cultural trends may have forced me to.

I and my siblings/peers didn't have to "grow up fast." My kids, for the most part, didn't have to -- porn on the Internet was about the closest to it, and that wasn't all that hard to deal with as the sex conversations were going to happen anyway -- but, in Trump's wake, there's all sorts of stuff that one pretty much cannot avoid having to cover with one's kids. They're going to encounter it and they're going to ask, so parents have to deal with it.

Kids a decade or so from now will get the Trump Era in their history classes and they're going ask "what's up" about some of his shenanigans and how it is that a POTUS can be so ribald and reprobate....Or at least one would hope that kids would recognize Trump's lying and lechery to be qualitatively that. Call me crazy, but Trump's comportment reminds me so much of that of the second half of the Roman Empire.

​

The 00's were the decade of the Patriot Act and if I had kids I'd of had to explain Islamaphobia to them and the white powder thing.

• Islamophobia wasn't a problem for me. I, my wife and my kids' schools were already teaching my kids about objectivity and that "people are people," as Depeche Mode sang.
  
  
  
  
• The anthrax thing was a bit scary, but only my two oldest were old enough for me to even have to address it. It was really very simple: don't touch the mail. Period. It could have a microscopic bug in or on it and that bug can kill you.

The 80's I remember as the decade all our Cold War dirty deeds became accepted public knowledge. Well, for those Americans who read.

I was a "greed is good" DINK by the late '80s... too busy starting a career and planning for having kids to care about Cold War "dirty laundry."

The 70's had the Nixon scandal and I THINK that's when being ignorant (I'm looking at you Archie Bunker) became cool.

I wouldn't know about "ignorant becoming cool" in the '70s. I was in school; ignorant was the very thing I was being taught not to be.

My parents spent a lot of time in the '70s talking to me and my siblings about character, integrity, the role of money in one's life, and not getting girls pregnant. That was the decade when my WWW parents wrestled with their own race-related ideas, though it wasn't until the late '80s (?), maybe early '90s, that I discovered they had done that then.

The 60's had A LOT of problems from the racial / sexual revolution to questioning our zealous hatred of Communism in Vietnam.

That was pretty much something going on with other people as far as my parents, I, my siblings, and everyone else we knew were concerned. It was just stuff that was on TV for me. I remember asking what it was all about. The explanation I got amounted to "A whole lot of people got their panties in a bunch and they feel like they have to tell everyone about it."
