This is my book, Only The Strong Can Love, available in paperback, hardback and ebook on Amazon and Barnes and Noble
Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.
Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.
i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent
Supposedly it’s an attempt to get us to communicate easier, HOWEVER. There are much better ways if doing that. For instance:
Parent: why can’t you do your homework?
Kid: I don’t know!!
Parent: okay. I’m going to list some options, and you pick the one you think is closest to what you feel, okay?
Kid: mhm!
Parent: is it because you haven’t finished what you were doing before? Or does the homework feel to big to do? Do you not understand what you’re supposed to do for homework?

Like seriously, break shit down. Kids understand you and most of the time do want to make you happy, they just don’t got the words to do it right. In the case of adhd or autistic kids, we just REALLY don’t know how to express ourselves. It’s like auditory processing disorder, but for our emotions. Its hard. ALSO!! make your kids understand that asking questions is okay. Because as they learn about everything around them, it gives them tools to use to describe what they’re feeling.
I’m just saying……….. that Court case home price you fools know nothing but the emotional reactions they train you to have through Twitter.
"what do we do about people who fake disabilities to get ssi" we throw them a fucking party for pulling off the most difficult and unrewarding grift of all time. literally i don't care
ah yes the benefits grift where you can’t get married, can’t have savings and get a pittance. the one that accounts for 0.3% of fraud compared to the other 99.7% in tax frauds and various corporate grants and writeoffs. took me 14 years of being nearly bedbound to get approved because we hadn’t ticked all the right boxes in the correct order.
"Trad" Twitter
literally
So…….”trad” means Nazis training other neo-nazis on the latest religion white peoples have put all their hopes into?
It’s exciting to me; to see these children panic that the country their grandfathers enjoyed is crumbling before their very eyes. So much so they fuxking LARP a fascist dictatorial culture and government under the false ideal that some how the late 1930s to early 1940s were the pinnacle of white existence, technology and culture.
Pure comedic gold does write itself apparently.
