Talking to yourself is unhealthy behavior.

you shutting up for...well, basically forever would make you more tolerable. But I don't get to make the decisions around here. And neither do you, anymore

I'm sure there is something missed being raised without one of two parents. I was raised with both parents who are still married. But here I am raising one on my own. (not my decision) She misses her father, and she's sometimes weird around men. She loves my father and my uncle very much so, but they are not around for her all the time. And my father is not the type to do much with her either. He didn't do a whole lot with me when I was a kid. I turned out okay, and I have no doubt that Sara will turn out fine too. My fear is that she's gonna grow up and not know how to act around men, or be afraid of them.

Does coeducational school help? Also, she will have male teachers and many kids look up to their teachers.

On edit (not all the post appeared) -- I guess when there is no other gender parent, the remaining or only parent has to improvise. Doesn't the Big Brother and Big Sister type thing address this issue?

Just a thought

Sara had a male teacher last year who she loved to death. He was a wonderful teacher, and he still takes time out to go and talk to Sara and asks her to lunch every so often. It was his first year teaching, adn I think he found his calling in life. He is such a gentle and soft spoken man. I have a lot of respect for him.
I found out that he was a gay man when I ran into him and his partner at TGIFridays last winter, and he looked rather worried as his partner quickly walked away. That made me sad, because he was obviously worried that I would figure out his orientation and tell, but I didn't breathe a word.

Hmm. Depraved? I missed those.

And on top of it, there seems to be a widespread belief that drinking and taking drugs is the way to cope with problems/stress...that really has nothing to do with this, but I just had to throw that in there.

Again, I kinda missed that too. I am sure plenty of people drink, and a few people here smoke pot sometimes. But I wasn't aware of many people who were outta control drug addicts. Or completely bat **** crazy - though some seem kind of comically out of touch with reality.
