My sister in law via my wife’s brother and I were having a nice chat one night at a party. She shared her insecurities with her pre-teen children. I ribbed her further, just wait until they become teenagers… your son won’t be interested in hugging you… he’ll want to be hugging girls.
And maybe your son will be bringing home different girls every week. And then your son will be saying he got girl #1 pregnant, and girl #2 and girl #3… ha ha… all genetic traits. He’s a handsome guy, a tall looker. All those raging hormones… whew… parenting will be exciting.
Ah but what we should look out for some day is when all our children are teens is cousin attraction… it’s more common than you think. Oh, I read manilatonight.com the forum and those cousin hookups will scare any parent out of their wits. Just imagine how insane it is for the children of siblings to wind up reproducing a child… so siblings will be sharing a grand child? Or grandma’s great grand child is a product of her grand children?
Cousin attraction is awful as the consequences will make the parents miserable and the grand parents as well. It’s a whole family deal breaker. The deal is the family tree expands… cousin to cousin reproduction diminishes the tree, weakening it in structure and what’s worse is probably genetically weakening the blood line.
I told my sister in law without batting an eyelash that when our children grow up this cousin attraction we have to watch out for. I know I’m the eldest cousin and I overheard my own aunts and uncles talk about the cousin attraction they detected and moved to handle it before it progressed.
My brother in law dismissed the notion and said if the cousins grew up closely there would be no danger? Oh? Funny his wife and I were quizzical about his statement. None are more blind than those who do not wish to see… every single day. Am I pointing to a blind item or to an obvious blindness of some people who choose to be blind?
I think I’ve said too much for the night. Fin.
