Not spending time with children because mainstream adults are insane? That is letting the bastards win.
I'm not opposed to spending time with them. But have you seen what ideas they buy into? They are just as crazy to claim on social media even small age gaps are NOT okay between teens.

Their own jokes and treatment of adults is hurtful. I feel hurt and excluded often times, especially when they say older people are 'uncs' or when they tell old people to go away.
I have no idea about western kids, to be be honest. Kids here are not like that at all.

As I said on BL12, it's really a matter of how much effort you put in.
I'll think about it, but I don't have much hope in the future.
Am I not simply a human being just like you? But out of your norm.

One of my students again asked to visit my place, and this time I gave him a yes conditional on his parents agreeing.

I hope they say yes too!

That's wonderful. A fine first step towards possibly letting a YF into your heart. Hope it turns out well.
