If you are one of those people who likes to have fun without strings attached then you need to read this post. There's some crucial information right here and we will also talk about certain situations which you might need to know about. But even if you are just debating becoming friends with benefits with someone... You need to think about whether it's worth it or not. First of all, lot's look at the very obvious benefits when it comes to having someone that you can always hit up with a booty call. Pros For most people, it's the physical aspect. Orgasms are always nice. They make you stress-free and fill you up with happiness hormones that can have an effect on you for up to a couple of hours. How would you not want that all the time? Unfortunately, in most cases, only friends with benefits relationships are the only ones that can provide you with a lot of sex for a long period of time. If you get yourself a boyfriend or girlfriend then it's much di...
You guys... I'm done. I really am. But before I go on a small rant let me tell you about the true nature of this saying.
Originally it went like this:
“The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”
Sounds weird like this, doesn't it? But yes, it doesn't raise the concept of a family on a pedestal, instead talks about the importance of bonds formed in battle. Today we use it fairly often and it's getting on my nerves. Want to know why?
Because parents use this as a way to justify bullying and abuse in the family.
He's only play fighting, a few bruises won't be the end of the world.
She doesn't seriously think you're a moron, just because she calls you by this name every time she talks to you.
Do you not understand jokes? We didn't mean it, even though we've said X a thousand times.
I'm so fed up with people letting their children hurt each other physically/mentally, just because they are young. And because they think it doesn't make a difference. If you recognize yourself, then please do your kid a favor and quit doing this to them. Don't make them think it's normal if people put them down constantly.
But honestly, do you know what's best?
Doing this kinda stuff, then blaming the child for not treating family as it should be treated. 'Cause y'know what? Family really is important. But you know what else is? Growing up in one that's actually functional and helps the poor kid develop a normal mindset.
I've heard of soooo many occasions where the youngest person in the family is constantly ridiculed and nobody thinks anything of it! Like Yeah, sure, they can't do anything about it and they will grow up with zero self esteem and barely any reason to love the closest people to them, but whatevs. Just a kid.
Oh, but you can take it even further. Sometimes the child acts up and says what's on their mind, trying to fight this unfair treatment. Do you know what they get? The 3 sentences I've typed up in the beginning. Then they will be made fun of for being so weak, they can't take a joke.
Do you have any idea what it's like being told you're less of a human being because you don't like being treated like a piece of garbage?
Awful, to simply put it. But we have a way to escape, other people.
Children who are abused this way usually make friends easier, just out of desperation, because they don't want to be in that household. Because they want to get away, lead a normal life and they don't want to have that kind of mental torture every single day.
But do you know what happens to them? They will get called out on it, they will be told to spend more time with the family. And if they tell them no?
Blood is thicker than water.
