CE, I hear you. Frankly, the environmental agenda being pushed in the schools is much heavier handed, IMO.
Perhaps the OP can actually post the title of the book so people can get a look at it. In the book I referenced, it’s literally one line, the mentions it in the exact same context of the 13 others they mention, a fond memory of someone in her life.
For me personally, I’m not sure what’s going to be the ‘tougher’ discussion with my three year old, why Rebecca has two daddies and no mommy or why I think Johnny’s ‘Real Housewife’ wannabe parents are douchebags, and what a douchebag is. But alas, that’s my choice.
Now switching topics, when should I have the conversation with my son about meth mouth Wendy? He’s only 3, I think it’s a little early, but by the time he hits 5 or 6th grade, I know I need to have it, because, frankly, I live on the edge or poor neighborhoods and the girls are way more trouble than the boys.
