Adults don't?

Hell, quite a few adults do that stuff.

We're talking about adults, though.

I'd be willing to bet the same is true for adults.

Some adults do as well, they are the ones who usually discover be things...

Do you not know any actual adults? They're not all 'lord business' you know ;)

I agree, but the thing is, I'm not sure adults are all that different.

I'm not talking about kids, I'm talking about adults.

They certainly are adults.

Unfortunately, they often haven't grown up yet.


We're talking about adults, not kids.

Adults do dumb things too, all the time.

Surely you're not arguing that adults have the same degree of agency and consent as children.

Adults also have...shit to do that ain't protest. Like work and worry about paying rent.

What about adults?

Nobody treats adults that way. I think kids benefit from really being treated like adults.

Ah, so the original comment is predicated on the assumption that all adults are capable of doing that for their kids.

Some are. Some aren't.

Same goes for the kids.
