Get a life and get rid of your cable. Our family ended broadcast and cable television about 20 years ago and havent looked back. We use high speed internet when we need news, and had a weekly video for our younger children. Stop expecting a sewer to parent your children. And stop settling for a less stinky sewer as a comprimise. It also permits you and your family to own your lives instead of being dictated to by the media.

Probably the most radical and countercultural thing you can do.

Also the most intellegent.

I agree with you 100%. I have allowed TV to be their alternative entertainment besides me for too damn long, and its about time I put a stop to it. Luckily for me, my kids really aren't hooked on the tube too much, but once in awhile I will let them watch it on their down time. I think that is about to change soon!

But, do you think its all right to allow these TV stations to broadcast ads during prime time events like baseball and football that are geared towards ED drugs. It happens all of the time! My husband cannot watch a Yankees game with my kids without having his hand on the trigger, ready to change it just for that reason. It stinks.

As for today, that was the last straw with me and any “kids” network. They are officially done in my house!

I don’t rely on tv to parent my kids. If you ever met them you would know that. They are truly great kids.
