Something interesting I saw recently on youtube. People were asking about what things did you have to unlearn that you were taught by your parents.  Sad fact is, many people arent trained how to be parents, they just default to how their parents raised them, for good or for bad. So then we have generations of people passing down  bad practices with noone stopping and realizing how toxic they were. What in your opinion are some of these bad ideas/ practices that get passed down?

1) Dont talk to strangers- Im not saying trust strangers. But 99.9% of people kids will and have to interact with will be strangers WHO ARENT  paedophiles or kidnappers. eg if they get lost, they may have to ask a stranger for help. Often most kids will be  harmed by people they are familiar with or would trust. Rather, kids need to be taught how to interact with people in general and what  is or is not safe behaviour from anyone- eg- dont go certain places with strangers,  its not appropriate for ANY adult to touch you  here there etc.

2) Blood is thicker than water- We often  led to believe we're to tolerate  or cover up relatives bad behaviour to us or others (that we wouldn't tolerate from anyone else) because theyre family. Cheaters and abusers can get away with this because of it.

3) Dont do x or y because  youre in church or its sunday.  Our behaviour should be consistent regardless.

4* CONTROVERSIAL *  A man shouldnt hit a woman. Im not endorsing abuse but rather it should be- Nobody should hit anybody.  There are actual women who believe that they have free reign to get violent with men for whatever reason they please (ive literally heard on brag about slapping her boyfriend because he didnt listen) because he cant hit her back. People reinforce it too. Ive seen videos of women attacking men and noone in the crowd reacts. The second the man fights back to defend himself , people in the crowd dogpile him and begin to attack him.

This why it's so important for the entrance of God's Word to give light (Psalm 119.130).... :)
