Your house sounds a little toxic. I couldn’t tell in your post if you were positive or negative toward this, but it sounds like a denial of human emotion. Why would anyone ban crying? Sounds like the “turn it off” approach from the Book of Mormon.

- pizzafeelsright 2y agoEmotions are real and to be well managed. There's a time to cry. Working with adults who cry when their work or effort is brought under examination will lead to a toxic work environment. I'm not Mormon. Not familiar with the culture.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoI'm curious about this system as it exists in your house. Who gets to decide when the time to cry is?
- pizzafeelsright 2y agoMe, mostly. Crying is fine in your room or the shower. Jesus cried twice in three years. There is a time and a place.

- pizzafeelsright 2y agoThe household. Me, wife, kids.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoDoes it extend to other forms of emotional expression?
- pizzafeelsright 2y agoI suppose. Good question. Gloating isn't permitted. Most of the discussion and instruction are related to being able to integrate well with others. I'm weird. Everyone is a little odd. Quirks aren't wrong but can be unattractive or situational inappropriate. Guidance is given.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoStill curious, who is the rule for?
