I was really upset that my neighbor said something like that to my child. Children should play and have fun. What a wrong perspective this is! After hearing that, I’m wondering how I should react to him; what would you do if you were in my place?
Absolutely a wrong comment.
What exactly did he say? I mean, what did he say that made you so upset?
@camkenari “Does a girl play football, is there no other job?” she said, looking straight into my eyes.
Why are you getting stuck on something so simple? Isn’t it pointless?
@soncaykaldi It’s definitely not empty; these words show perspective. They restrict children.
Such things used to happen a lot in our neighborhood too. My mom used to not get involved back then, but I always felt like something was missing.
It is very important in terms of gender equality. While you may not agree with your neighbor’s opinion, it is important to support your child’s self-confidence. It is you who will shape their thoughts.
