No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah, my daughter had expressed interest in doing competition dance. She just had a recital this past weekend, after which she was like, you know, I don't want to give up my weekends and all my time to competition stuff. I'll still dance, for fun, but I don't need the competition. I said hell yeah, because I also don't wanna do it. I'm glad she doesn't feel pressured to be ultra competitive, and can still get enjoyment from an activity.
That's good parenting IMHO. Have the kid try stuff, and if they enjoy it - great. If they fall out of love with it, move on.
