Dollywood is only about 2 hrs from me so we choose that instead of Disney. Dolly P is a saint an it’s more of my kind of people up there.

Ran into a very similar situation while in Baltimore for the Orioles/Yankees series. Went to dinner after the game in inner harbor, no more than.5 mile from our hotel. After dinner there were hundreds of teenage kids fighting and all in the streets. Was unfortunately between our hotel and where we went to dinner. Navigated around the event and got back to the hotel just fine. Later found out a 14 and 16 year old were shot not minutes after we were in the area. Very scary situation.
I know, should not have been in Baltimore. But, we were there for baseball and the wife and kids really wanted to see Camden Yards. Games were great, but that certainly but a damper on the trip.
Headed to Chicago this coming weekend for Cubs and Dodgers.

U.S. passport delays may be four months long — and could get worse. Here's what to know
There's been a surge in travel abroad, and the demand for U.S. passports is creating a backlog of applications.

Took 6 months in 2021 to get my daughters, literally came in the afternoon before we flew to Greece for a week.

Not sure I believe this. Of course white people answered that way to not seem racist. We are all created equal in the eyes of God but I have no problem admitting that races arent equal in life. Some are producers. Some are takers. Some build countries, others destroy.
Individuals aren’t equal. Someone on welfare with 4 kids by 3 men with no job, no money, dragging society down isn’t equal to someone who is a benefit to society through God, family, and work.
My kids are 27, 24, 20 and 18. To this day, any social media app they're on, they add me. Not because I track them. I don't. I've never turned on location and I made them turn it off when they did so friends could see where they are at all times. Just no. They were raised to be honest about where they were, who they were with and to check in when they got to where they were going and any change in plans was subject to my approval. If they 'forgot', they got to spend quality time with mommy for a while. Didn't take long to get that lesson learned. (I'm also the parent who never set a curfew for the same reasons and with the same rules) I just made it a rule when they were younger that if they wanted to be on SM, I had to be able to see what they were seeing and posting. They never found it wierd and most of their friends (even now) add me. And yes, my kids are fully aware I post about them here. I give them the same respect and honesty they give me.
Max has never had a sip of alcohol. Not because I care, but because he's going to win a $1500 bet with me. His 2nd oldest sister (that would be Riley) had a blow out party when she graduated high school. She earned that party. Have at it, Roo. Admittedly, it was a bit more than what we expected and Max wasn't supposed to be home. Max was furious his sister was drinking and partying (he was 11). He was still pissed the next morning and after he informed me that beer was horrible for wood floors, I told him I would remind him off this little snit in a few years. He said 'I'll never drink before I get out of high school'. I laughed and said I'll bet you $500. Little Max glared at me and took the bet. (He conveniently remembered it as $5000...we negotiated to $1500). No lie. He's holding out. And I know he hasn't because his asshat friends would slip and rat him out. He went to a frat party with his future teammates/brorhers and flat out told them why he wasn't drinking. Whole story. And, funny, everybody thought it was pretty cool. Hilarious, but cool. Nobody gave him shit (again because it's probably the funniest reason to not drink) He's proud of keeping his word and to his convictions.
My husband and dad will be handing him his first beer while I give him $1500 at the first and only party he'll throw...the graduation after party. Which will be after the actual graduation. Don't need a class full of seniors rolling in drunk and hung to graduation.
Yes. I'm that mom that let's her kids drink underage (hence none of them really care about going out to get wasted) . I'm also that mom that taught them there's no reason to hide anything from me (I've done things they hadn't thought about yet
) and responsibility. That hangover sucks, Punkin? Get up. We're going shopping for me. I'll get you a greasy egg mcmuffin and a coke. It's going to be a great day!!!I get that not everybody parents the same and that we all have different views. Where everybody should be the same is making sure your children know that there is nothing they should hide from you and you making sure there's never a reason they feel they should. And they should know your hard limits while you let the little annoying things go (BTW, stomping away in a snit, I never let go. Made them walk back downstairs and walk back up quietly. They still bitch/laugh at me about that. But it was about teaching them about being respectful and to keep their cool under pressure even when calling me every name under their breath angry) so your not living 6 years in a war zone known as your family home.
Easier said than done. I know. We were never, are not and never will be perfect. Far from it. We're messy. Loud especially when we're 'silent' and usually laughing 30 minutes after we yell at each other because we know how ridiculous we are (Witness the missing wooden spoons saga).
But damn if we haven't raised/been blessed with some pretty great humans.

May be people leaving. The # of Americans seeking citizenship in other countries increased in '21 and '22... haven't seen if its still going up but tons of Americans are leaving for safer places.

How’s this for a short definition of woke - intolerant progressivism.
And if you want to describe progressivism, i would say it’s a philosophy that promotes centralized government control to address racial, social or economic inequality (actual or perceived).

I feel the same way, but my story was with guns............when the kids were young I made sure they were unloaded ( the guns) made sure they were inoperable in some way..........then let the kids handle them, showed them how they worked and so on.............taking the mystique out of the equation.My kids are 27, 24, 20 and 18.

Best of luck to you. My boys are 13, 11 and 9 and my daughter is 7. Going to be interesting around here for the next decade.
How crazy are the teachers unions and media going to be fighting this movement. There will be false narratives everywhere
