I was thinking the same thing. If OP does have facial tattoos or dresses in different attire (let's say, like a hardcore goth or rock fan) then I would think it was expected and they made this fml as a little laugh. If they don't have any of that then... ouch, it really is a big fml. Sorry if that's the case OP. :c

We don't have to make them scared of strangers. We have to teach them how to deal with them in the right ways. Making them scared of people they don't know just makes it hard for them to make friends, because they never learn any social skills. Please tell me you're not one of those people who think every little thing is lethal to a child, even a minor cold or the tiniest scrape. I'm so sick of these new-age parents who act like everything in the world is either a fatal hazard or a form of abuse. Yes, the world is a dangerous and scary place, but that doesn't mean we need to turn our children into sheltered, undisciplined bubble babies.

69- you really could have stopped after the social skills sentrance. please tell me you don't have children oh well wait a minute I'm willing to bet you actually don't, for 1 you're still a baby yourself which you know these days kids are having kids at 11 years old so it's not like that matters, my point is you're extremely judgemental when it comes to the views of people who are parents and the way that you think they should view the world, I'll tell you what my kids are not sheltered and they're not "living in a bubble" as you put it but that doesn't mean that I don't want the best for them and I absolutely tell you what, even though I know they're gonna get scrapes and I know that things are going to happen that I can't stop, I'll have to stand by and watch them heal from it because they're still my babies and it still hurts my heart to see that that doesn't make me a bad parent who keeps my kids in a bottle it just means I love them, driving a little less judgemental until you have kids of your own. and while I'm at it to all of you talking about kick the kid back or something like that, go ahead be stupid and test a parent I guarantee you you'll never be dumb enough to try it again... so 69 you said you hate these parents now a days basically who shelter their kid well I can't stand people without kids to take judgment on those of us with kids... and let the negatives begin... while on the subject of irritations, I dislike thumb down because of a disagreement...
