I’m imagining a situation where I’d do that if I were the dad, to then nag to my child:

  • Dear, are you sure, he’s a Java programmer, it’s fucking boring.

    Is there a Violet megathread somewhere? I want to make sure I haven't missed any episodes. 🫣

    This is one of those "cute overbearing dad" things until you realize you don't have appropriate boundaries and it's influencing your life in ways you don't like, which usually happens sooner or later. Family counseling is a good place to start if you aren't sure how to start that conversation. And I say that as a dad that will probably have to be talked down when my own kid hits dating age.

    Kids get hurt, it's not a parent's job to stop that from happening, nor avenge them. It's the parent's job to teach them resilient, appropriate coping techniques.

    My mom similarly background checks my partners and friends. It's pretty annoying. I try to spare as many as I can by feeding identifying details as slowly as I can.
