Last year seems like a very long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
The mandates maybe gone, but the memories remain, I think a lot of people would like to forget the last few years, because that would mean confronting their past actions, which perhaps, they regret.
It’s important to remember the past, in order to learn from it. To examine what we did, and why, and was it the right thing to do.
History will validate the Wellington protest, anything but that, is a travesty against truth & justice, which will not stand the test of time, no matter what the MSM do.
As a kid, I learned the 4 Stages of Life from The Wizard of Oz: 1) The Dorothy Stage – When you’re a child a collection of quirky, confused adults will do their best to show you the way; 2) The Scarecrow Stage – When you’re a teenager you’ll have straw for brains, but keep […]
Yesterday I took my son to Auckland Museum to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex ‘Fossil Skeletons’. The first thing you see as you approach the main entrance to the museum is a rainbow flag flying in parallel with the New Zealand Flag. A bad omen, for it bares testimony to the fact that The Museum is…
That was the question my 15 year old daughter asked me the other day.

New Zealands over the top covid response has a lot to do with that because the vaxxed / unvaxxed thing has split many families apart, perhaps forever. Her cousins and their family are on the other team. All of this has made her a bit more clingy than normal.
Just what do you say?
I’ve spent countless hours creating the best environment that I can for her to thrive in. Does she feel guilty for everything I’ve done for her?
It felt too difficult to answer, so I evaded answering.
But it’s got me thinking..
Why is she asking this? (I need to work this out first before the I answer the next question).
She’s sadly lacking a bit of direction right now, and whatever answer I give her, would be cast in stone, so I would have to pick my words carefully. Then again, I cant be sure how she would interpret my answer.
How should I answer this?
In writing all this down, it’s become clear that she needs to work out the answer herself. The best I can do is be there for her.
Covid sucks and it’s changed things for the worse here in NZ. I cant change that, but I can teach her how to survive in a less than ideal environment.
