if i accept that life is life and nothing is a big deal. shit happens and whatnot. not that i'm some sort of nihilist, but it's nothing but wasting time to dote over things.
so if i pass these values onto my child, is that irresponsible? would a child be better served if i passed on a different set of ideas.
for example, if my child accidentally killed her dog--an absolutely clear accident; there will be no serial killers in my household!--and i told her not worry about it. you're not in trouble. things like this happen.
that sounds cold. i would definitely emphasize that life is precious and should be preserved when you can, but no need to blame yourself or be down. i guess there is a risk of being misunderstood. the child may misinterpret this as an ok for anything. i don't know. fuck this.
