One of my kids is four 24 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: and one of them is nine, and like, up until now, 25 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: they pretty much agree. Me and my wife, we pretty 26 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: much agreed on like every major parenting that say. But 27 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: our oldest came home and he was asking if he 28 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: could go over to a friend's house. 29 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: For a sleepover. 30 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: And my wife was like, oh, man, that's like a 31 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: no brainer, Absolutely you should go.

I mean, we 38 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: don't know everybody that's going to be there. I mean 39 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: that family have guns in the house, is all the 40 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: locker licked up?

And she's saying that sleepovers 53 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: are supposed to be like a part. 54 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: Of childhood or whatever. 55 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: But like, I'm just worried and I don't want him 56 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: to go, and I don't think he should go, and 57 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: we we don't know. 58 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: Their parents that well understanding. This is a whole new 59 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 3: like thing, like a whole new generation of concern because 60 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: when I was a kid, we had sleepovers all the time, 61 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: kids at my house, I was at their house. Girls 62 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: did it, Guys did it Saturday night. You know, they 63 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: did the whole thing. This is a very nighties thing. 64 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: But do the thing like where everybody was on the phone, 65 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: but it was only one guy talking to one girl 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: and it would be like, hey, do you like Fred? 67 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: But Fred was. 68 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: Listening in and then you know what I mean, It's 69 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: like this was like a normal thing and everybody would 70 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: meet with them all. I'm just saying, like it was 71 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: part of my upbringing that friends were always over at 72 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: other friend's houses. And I get that now all of 73 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: a sudden, there seems to be this heightened awareness and 74 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: maybe for a good reason of all the possible dangers. 75 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 3: But this is I gotta be honest, This is something 76 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: that I'm only now being introduced to as a non parent, 77 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: the idea that sleepovers are not a thing anymore, or 78 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 3: for some people they're really not. 79 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let me. 80 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: Ask you something. When you I mean, I understand going 81 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: to the mall, like that's a public place, you know 82 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: what I mean, there are people everywhere or nothing too bad. 83 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to happen. They have security 84 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: guards there for a reason. But whenever you were going 85 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: out to sleepovers as a kid, did your parents know 86 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: everybody that was going to. 87 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: Be at the house. 88 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: No, you know, they knew the parents, or they knew 89 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: that they knew a lot of things. But I guess 90 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: my parents. I'm not saying that parents don't do this 91 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: these days, but I guess in my case, it was. Hey, 92 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: if you know, they taught me what to do if 93 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: I saw a weapon, They taught me what to do 94 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: if I saw alcohol. They taught me what to do 95 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: if I saw something inappropriate. You know, they told me 96 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: to be a and vigilant and speak up if I 97 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: was uncomfortable, called him if I needed them. You know, 98 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: I guess that was it was sort of on them, 99 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: I guess to prepare me for those possibilities. And I 100 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: can't think of anything really happening. But like I also, 101 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. I understand people's concern, but like to 102 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: think that we're not doing that at all anymore. 103 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I also understand that, But there's also 104 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: child peer pressure, like you know what I mean. Like 105 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: I can teach my kid, hey, this is what you 106 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: need to do when you see a gun, or this 107 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: was what you need to do when you see alcohol. 108 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: But I don't know the other parents. I don't know 109 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: the other kids upbringing. So if my kid fears that 110 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: he's not going to look cool, if the other kid 111 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: goes start swinging a gun around or starts taking shots 112 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: whenever their parents get to sleep, but it tries to 113 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: add my kids into doing it, then like I have 114 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: no control over that situation, you know, and I don't 115 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: know that family. 116 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: It's your call, Andy, I'm not telling you how to 117 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: raise your kid. But on the on the flip side, 118 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 3: couldn't that happen anywhere anytime. I mean, couldn't that happen 119 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: during the day at a friend's house. Couldn't that happen, 120 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: you know, and could not happen in public. There's a 121 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: lot of things that could happen, and kids have to 122 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: make choices and and and I guess his parents we 123 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: have to, you know, equip our children. I don't know, 124 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: what do you think, rufil, You're the only one with 125 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: a kid in here that at least that I'm aware of. 126 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I never did sleepovers. Weren't a thing when 127 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: I like, I didn't do sleepovers as a kid. But 128 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: if my son wanted to go sleep better friends house, 129 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 4: it's like you could only you just have to have 130 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: your child ready for any situation, you know what I'm saying, 131 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: Like you can't control the other kids, like he was saying, 132 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: you can't control you don't know their parents. 133 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: You don't know what the other kids will do. 134 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 5: Like siblings is a big issue right a lot. 135 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: But it's just like you just have to prepare your kids. 136 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 4: I know there's there's there's codes that kids had with parents, 137 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 4: like if there's something going on in the house, they 138 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 4: don't feel safe, they can text. You know what I'm 139 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 4: saying that doesn't make me seem like like a loser 140 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: in that way. They could just have a special code 141 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: with their parents that say hey, come pick me up 142 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: in a special way, like they just text a name 143 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 4: or something like that. But I mean, you could only control, 144 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: like you just have to prepare your kid the right way. 145 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 4: You you know, if they if you, if you're if 146 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 4: you teach your kid the right things to do, then 147 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: I think they'll be okay at a sleepover, you know. 148 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: But it's a very real thing.

I don't think he's leaving 242 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 3: his wife, but he's fundamentally concerned that that she's okay 243 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: with sleepovers and he's not. 244 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I would hope this is an a 245 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 9: fay go to lead my wife's situation. 246 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: But I am a parent. 247 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 9: I have an eight month old baby girl, and my 248 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 9: husband and I have talked about that we will not 249 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 9: let our kids have sleepovers.

I would absolutely allow the child 275 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 11: to sleep over. It's the right of passage as the child. 276 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 11: I think he's really kind of almost paranoid about what 277 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 11: could happen.

And yeah, I mean 278 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 11: I understand if he doesn't know the parents that well, 279 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 11: but call them, get to know them a little bit. 280 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 11: This is going to be a fun of that first 281 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 11: child that he should have the opportunity to experience that. 282 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 11: I would not be worried about guns, alcohol in truct 283 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 11: to this, aged honest with you. 284 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: Well, that's one of the things.

I 303 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 12: got two girls, fourteen and nine, and both of them 304 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 12: are very independent, strong women. Can I tell you there's 305 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 12: times when I talk to them after situations like that 306 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 12: where it's like, Wow, you made a really good choice 307 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 12: for yourself.

I think that's all you can do though, right. 309 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: I mean, you can shelter your kids, I would imagine 310 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: from everything, or you can try and equip them and 311 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: then put them out there. And and I guess That's 312 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: all you really can do is hope that they make 313 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 3: the right choice about it. 314 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: That's like, apparently one on one a shelter. 315 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 12: How could a sheltered individual have the capabilities and tools 316 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 12: in order to get ahead in life? 317 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. 318 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: I'm saying that it sounds like you're doing it the 319 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 3: way that I would do it. 320 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: But what do I know?

If you don't go to sleepover? 323 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 6: Why is that considered being sheltered? You know what I'm 324 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 6: just saying, Like I feel like when I say sheltered 325 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 6: my kid is like never going anywhere and you stay 326 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 6: home right now? You would pick them up right before bed. 327 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 6: I guess you have a bed at home? Can we 328 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 6: not go sleep in that? 329 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 12: No? 330 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 4: I mean it's also a trusting like you're gonna build 331 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: this complex like your son or daughter does it? You know, 332 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 4: you don't trust them, and they they're gonna know that. 333 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, like, Oh, you don't trust 334 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 4: me to go over to a friend's house. Sta at a 335 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 4: friend's house? Like what else are you gonna trust me with? 336 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 5: Listen? I trust you. I just don't know if I 337 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 5: trust world. I'm sorry, that's just where we live, That's 338 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 5: what I'm saying. 339 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 4: That's why you just prepare your kid for those situations, 340 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 4: like you have to trust your child to make the 341 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 4: right decision and become independent in that situation. 342 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because I mean have things people are textingly 343 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: saying that the world is different now think it is? 344 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: Are people in the world really different or is this 345 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: the same stuff that's always been going on. We're just 346 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: just a higher sense of awareness now, yes, And has 347 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: that higher sense of awareness cause more paranoia? And in 348 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 3: good ways and then maybe in bad ways too. There 349 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 3: are a lot of things now that you know, probably 350 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: aren't a great idea for kids to be doing that 351 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 3: our parents did and our parents did and then let 352 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: us do at the same time, know, is this amount 353 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: of information now causing us to be concerned about things 354 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: that may maybe we should be letting kids do because 355 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: they got to learn and figure it out and hopefully 356 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 3: you've equipped them and taught them well enough to stand 357 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 3: up and say this isn't right. And there's a lot 358 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: more by the way, there are a lot more ways 359 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 3: now to get someone's attention when something's going wrong than 360 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 3: there were when we were kids. Most kids have a 361 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: cell phone, most of their friends have cell phones. I mean, 362 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: I don't know if something weird was going on when 363 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: I was younger, you better hope the house phone was 364 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: worried something like that. You know, I wasn't emailing anybody, 365 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 3: texting anybody. You know, there was none of that. Hey Michelle, yes, Hey, 366 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 3: good morning. What do you think? 367 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 10: Well, I have four kids, all of whom I have 368 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 10: enjoyed sleepovers, and if I had it to do over again, 369 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 10: I would not do it. I think too many there 370 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 10: are two there's You can know people really really well, 371 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 10: but you don't know people behind closed doors necessarily. And 372 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 10: what I have found through my experience is that there 373 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 10: is a shocking lack of supervision happening. I've had kids 374 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 10: come home and talk about how, yeah, mom and dad 375 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 10: went to sleep and you know, then we snuck out 376 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 10: the back door and you know, walk a mile to 377 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 10: the local gas station at two am, across the railroad 378 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 10: tracks to get sodas and snacks and whatever. Anything could happen. 379 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 10: Anything could happen. And if you've got a parent that's 380 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 10: not vigilant, which I think there are a bunch that aren't. 381 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 10: They're like, great, the kids are occupied, we're off the clock. Now, yeah, 382 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 10: but how little things like that. 383 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 3: Well, what prevents your kids from doing that at your house? Honestly, 384 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: got lee? 385 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 10: Am I a light sleeper and I have a hundred 386 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 10: year old house. Or the worst creak you're getting out. 387 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: The door the door with I mean, fair enough, but 388 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: it's like a man. They were all the same time. 389 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: My house had all the fun stuff. 390 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 10: Well, I mean, I'm just saying, like, what you're comfortable 391 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 10: with if you're cool. Like some parents, they know that 392 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 10: happens and they say, well, that's all right. I did 393 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 10: that when I was, you know, thirteen, We snuck out 394 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 10: at two am. 395 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 9: It's okay. 396 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 10: And it's like, you know, I don't really I think 397 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 10: that's okay. And then another there was the first person 398 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 10: you talked to. I can't remember her name, and she 399 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 10: mentioned the word boundaries. And the thing that concerns me 400 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 10: on the back end, now, not the front end. It 401 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 10: never occurred to me on the back end. Boundaries. Young 402 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 10: children don't even understand the concept of a boundery. You 403 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 10: can talk about a boundary all day long, and that's 404 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 10: like talking about the theory of relativity, because if they've 405 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 10: grown up with these kids, and I live in an 406 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 10: area where everyone's grown up together, it's like your siblings. 407 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 10: It doesn't occur to you to set a boundary with 408 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 10: someone that you literally do not know life without, yeah, 409 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 10: and you. 410 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 8: Don't know how you're going to react in a situation 411 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 8: like I was given those tools and I had a 412 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 8: weird situation of friend's older brother and I froze because 413 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 8: he was older, and so like, you can give your 414 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 8: kid all the tools, but when they're nine, they do 415 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 8: not know it's happened. 416 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 10: That is precisely it. And I do think there's a 417 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 10: big difference. And Fred, here's the thing. When you're seventeen, sixteen, 418 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 10: or seven, even that is a greater degree of understanding 419 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 10: than when you're nine or ten or eleven. When you're 420 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 10: seventeen and someone cross is aligned with you, that is 421 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 10: a lot different, yep than when you're nine. And if 422 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 10: you have not been allowed to have the sleepover, I 423 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 10: think your threshold for understanding that that line has been 424 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 10: crossed is much lower as it should be. I think 425 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 10: when you're nine, your threshold you have no threshold. You 426 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 10: don't even know what a boundary is. You don't understand 427 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 10: when a boundary has been crossed. You don't understand when 428 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 10: someone has essentially violated some sort of norm, because to you, 429 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 10: what's a norm? Like these are just your buddies. Yeah, 430 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 10: and especially and this is the other thing, because you 431 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 10: mentioned something about people are texting in saying things are different, 432 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 10: times have changed. You know what things are different? And 433 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 10: times have changed? And here's why the cell phone. Yes, 434 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 10: your kids can reach out to you. But guess what 435 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 10: else what those kids can do with those cell phones? 436 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 5: All that stuff? 437 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 10: Oh not even yes, absolutely that, but how about the 438 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 10: taking pictures of kids at a sleepover and posting them 439 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 10: to humiliating but. 440 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 3: Mache happens, and we got to go. But Michelle's there's 441 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 3: all kinds of possibilities. We can go down this road 442 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 3: all day. But the reality is, I mean, all you can, truly, 443 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 3: all you can do is equip your children, teach them 444 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 3: the very best you can. Eventually you're gonna have to 445 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 3: put them out there in the world. And you're right, right, 446 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: A million things that can happen with the phone. 447 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 10: I can tell you, right, the differences, the differences a 448 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 10: nine year old cannot handle those the same way as 449 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 10: sixteen year old chimp. But a nine year old appreciate 450 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 10: the distinction. 451 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: But you're not allowing your nine year old to do 452 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 3: the same things you're allowing your sixteen year old to do. 453 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 10: Well, we're talking about a sleepover. 454 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 7: So that is the same thing. 455 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: Okay, you're right. 456 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 10: I don't let them do the same things, absolutely, but 457 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 10: a sleepover is a sleepover. Yeah, A sixteen year old 458 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 10: can draw a line and see a boundary where a 459 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 10: nine year old cannot. I speak of someone who has 460 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 10: allowed to sleepovers. I'm someone who let it happen, and 461 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 10: in hindsight, I would put it off until they're well 462 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 10: into high school. 463 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: That's just fair enough. Thank you, Michelle, have a great day. 464 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 7: My pleasure you too. 465 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: Glad you called it
