He used to do scouts, which he loved. I know he will love cadets and will get loads out of it. But I just feel its the first early step to join the army and it makes my stomach twist.
I know joining cadets doesn't mean you have to join the army, but DS1 quite likes the idea and if they didn't have to go to war, it would be perfect for him. But I'm his mum and I don't want him to. I think the instructors will brainwash him.
Also I think the cadets could make him a target for bullies. The training centre isn't in the safest area.
AIBU to have these thorghts over a kids club? He's 12 by the way.
AIBU?
to want to discourage ds1 from joining army cadets.
