PSA: Parents. Please Do Not Emotionally Manipulate Your Children.

PSA: Parents. Please do not emotionally manipulate your children.

They will grow up completely untrusting with a general sense of sadness and guilt.

Manipulation includes:

- “I just wish [something passive aggressive involving your child]”

- “You do whatever you want to do.” and then getting mad when they make the “wrong” choice

- Not believing them when they tell you something someone did or said to them, including their friends, your friends, family members, or even you

- Doing something shitty and then pretending you didn’t in hopes they’ll forget?

- Getting upset when they open up to you. About anything. Even if it’s something angering or disappointing. Don’t show them it’s dangerous or counterproductive to talk to you.

- Making them feel bad for the friends/significant others they choose, career path (or lack thereof), school choice (or lack thereof), gender/sexuality (or lack thereof) literally anything that either they didn’t choose or that they would be miserable without

- Do NOT EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pressure them to talk to you about personal things.

- Kids do not owe their parents anything. They did not choose to be born. You chose to get pregnant/chose to carry to term/chose to raise a baby (even if you didn’t choose all of these things, you at least chose one) under the assumption that you would love this child no matter what.

You can help save this girl’s life

Hello, I’m LJ and I have momentarily taken over Meg’s blog because she is too sick right now to do this for herself. Anyway, Meg is the sweetest kid you will ever meet. Just take a look at this blog and you will see all the good she does. This incredible young girl is fighting for her life and it’s up to us to help her. She’s 17; a child. No child deserves this kind of suffering. A while ago another fundraiser was being run for her, but it was outdated so this is the new one. The difference is that on this website, they only give you 30 days to earn as much as possible before the fundraiser expires so we really need to get as much support as possible. The details of Meg’s story are on the fundraiser page but basically, she needs surgery to her brain, spine and spinal cord; huge surgery only performed by American surgeons. Meg is English. Unfortunately this means that huge costs accompany the procedure and despite already raising a lot of money, there is still a bit of a way to go. Please help her by reblogging and donating. You can donate from almost anywhere in the world and even if you donate just £5, it will help give Meg the chance to grow up and live her life. She deserves this, her brother deserves this. She is always so strong and is there for everyone but now it is time for us to be there for her.
