Father's Day Chronicles: My Son's Dad

My Son and His Dad at The Museum of Discovery & Science (Fort Lauderdale)

One may feel I am feeling my son's father for sharing a post about him and not the case. We are not compatible but we are both mature enough to take care of what we both created in an amicable way. I am one who loves to encourage greatness. Men get the raw deal from disgruntle "Baby Mama's". I for one will not label myself one and make sure to always thank his father for all he does. Men, especially black men need to be acknowledged for being there and taking care of their kids.

Now for us as in parents, we are always striving to be the best we can. We never fight or argue in front of him after the first and last time he ever saw such thing. That was the day I left for my sanity. It was getting ugly. The one thing I prayed for, knock on wood, I got is our being able to parent our son and not be nasty to one another. We have been through it in the ten years off and on relationship till we finally four years ago ended it. So with Father's Day looming near, I just as always want to put it out there in the universe, I am thankful for my son's father.

Soon my boyfriend will be a first-time daddy and I know he will be a great father as well. We are both excited for the arrival of "Might Isis"!

My Son: VonRoss' YouTube Channel Cybersecurity No No

Found out his new siblings are introducing him to the world of video and not too happy since the way it is done can be dangerous.

So I must now put that on lock in a more private way.

I told him let me set up his channel then to show him how to only invite certain groups to watch he knows. Told him it was unsafe to just be posting video from home and putting identifying landmarks.

One reason not into having kids with this one, that one and so much the reason I was mad with break-up. Not for the disrespect or lack of proper communication, but the things that creep in when you are not the only one taking care of child when not with you. So much to deal with and not too happy with much that has to be nipped about videos without privacy very restrictive.

Thankful much else is kosher but these videos are a bit much for me since he knew better to wait as told. His father is a great provider and affords my son stability much needed. Just disappointed in my son for not waiting for mommy to set up his channel. 

I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree and I am glad the way he handled my reprimand of the act. We will take care of the privacy on his YouTube channel so only those who are given the link can see them till a bit older and pragmatic behavior on safety is learned with observed acted out. Just a concerned "Techie Mommy" who wants her "Techie Son" to learn proper online security measures. #TechieMom #TechieMommy #Cybersecurity #ChildrenAndCybersecurity
