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.

Emotions 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.

I'm curious about this system as it exists in your house. Who gets to decide when the time to cry is?

[pizzafeelsright]

Me, mostly. Crying is fine in your room or the shower.

Jesus cried twice in three years. There is a time and a place.

Still curious, who is the rule for?

[pizzafeelsright]

The household. Me, wife, kids.

[kelseyfrog]

Does it extend to other forms of emotional expression?

[pizzafeelsright]

I 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.

I'm not familiar with that. What is it?
