prattkatrina+FollowIs It Really Cheating? Navigating Family Rules and BoundariesRecently, my child asked me, "Is it considered cheating if you get help on homework?" That question made me pause and reflect on how we define honesty and fairness within our family. Growing up, my parents had clear boundaries—cheating was never okay, but asking for help was encouraged. Now, as a parent, I find myself walking that fine line, wanting to support my child without crossing into doing the work for them. It’s a constant balancing act, teaching them to value their own effort while also knowing when it’s okay to seek guidance. Have you ever faced a similar dilemma in your family?

Harold Buchanan+FollowSaw Deadpool vs. Wolverine with my husband and there were a bunch of little kids there. I was scrolling through TikTok when I saw a video of a dad and his young son, maybe 5 or 6, dressed as Wolverine and Deadpool. I expected at least a few comments questioning it — but instead, it was full of parents saying how much their kids loved Deadpool.My oldest is only 2.5, so maybe I’m naïve... but personally, I don’t think young kids should be exposed to graphic and sexual content until at least middle school.Talking with a friend whose older child first saw pornography at six years old — on a friend’s phone at school — left me feeling sick.It honestly makes me worry: if this is becoming the norm, what are kids being exposed to before they're even old enough to understand it?Am I overreacting... or are we losing something important when we rush them through innocence?How do you feel about this? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. #ProtectChildhood #ParentingInTheModernWorld #LetKidsBeKids #FamilyValues #RaisingKidsToday #Parenting80Share
