Yes, you’re right, she did. Sadly, no one ever holds the media or H’wood (or politicians for that matter) for all of the bad *advice* they give out, or the bad role models they are.
I knew of at least 4-5 kids in HS that I can remember who would slept overnight in the Bf or Gf bed in their parents home and the parents had no problem with it. These were not ONS but long term relationships..and way way too many moms who would supply their daughters the pill.
My cousin is 20 and his girlfriend sleeps in his bed at his parents(my Aunt and Uncle) home when they come home from college to visit.
It's not Kansas out their Toto (Is that the line?)
I point out to my children that what their Dad and I tell them is wrong is also objectively stupid. Best odds to avoid a bad outcome is to do what we say. We get plenty of opportunity to point out examples, too. (Taylor Swift dating a Kennedy comes to mind, right now ... makes her a possibility in the Dead Pool for the next year.)
I'm trying very, very hard to resist the temptation!
“Feivel Goes West”? Did that have “heavy kissing” between animated rodents in it?
We were always candid with our kids, in addition to being fairly strict. Of course it was a somewhat different time. And they were boys, thank our lucky stars. They are all grown and either conservative or (oh woe is me) libertarian.
Yes, boys can’t become pregnant and probably won’t be raped ... although the latter is likely to grow more common as it becomes illegal to keep them away from homosexual predation.
I watched some of the Henry VIII and found them to be excellent. I had to drop the premium channels.
And you’re a better person for it.
I watch a couple. “Hawaii 5-0’” “ Person of Interest” and “Blue Bloods.”
I confess, I do get hooked into the Novelas on the Spanish channel.
I listern to what they listen to. It is painful at times! But there aare radio versions of everything and I paid for and download. My 12 year old is into jazz so I’m pretty lucky. She listens too blues too. That actually gets me depressed when I hear too much.
Yes, I did worry even about them. I have to say, I’m so glad I’m done raising kids. I enjoyed that part of my life, but it’s not a world I would want to be a parent in. I would definitely home school if I had kids now.
I thank God for the parents I had. It was not exactly Ozzie and Harriet but I had good parents with solid values and they loved me and my siblings enough to care what we did. You’re exactly right. At the time I wanted to do a lot of things I had no business doing. And I AM better for not being allowed to.
Yeah it’s metal, but it’s uplifting and the album it’s off of is a concept album about the creation of Earth and humanity.
If your kids have access to You Tube, whether on a hand-held tablet, smart phone or computer, then they have access to sexually-related content.
Your post #55...yes, I’m aware of that...I’m one of those Christians who lived in darkness for 34 years before trusting the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior for deliverance from sin, death, and the devil. I’ve been a Christian for 33 years and seen how wickedness has increased, just as the Bible says it would.
By God’s grace and love and mercy, He changes the hearts of those who live in darkness and believe our values and standards are foolish, and sets them free with His Truth!
I will go a step further and say it is pretty hard to find a show that does not criticize conservatism or republicans in some manner.
There was a great show on a couple years back, "Chicago Code" I guess it was to close to truth to let it live. Was up on NetFlix a while back, don't know if it still is.
You can expect the school system to do everything they can to undermine your values. If you have kids in government schools, and you love them, then get them out of there.
