It's simple another bogeyman behind the tree in the cultural forest.
A parent's job is not longer just to raise children to behave and act responsibly and decently.
That has become almost secondary to constantly thwarting unbelievable cultural garbage that would have been unheard of 2-3 generations ago.
It's incredible when a 4 year old wants to know what "gay" really means and when nearly all TV cartoons instill backtalk and trashtalk.
It's very difficult.
Teen girls are told over and over to dress like trollops and to get multiple piercings and tattoos and that they must have 2-300 dollar jeans etc.
and drugs....
and sex...
abortion.
Raising children today tests one's mettle.
(and I love Murdoch btw)
Thanks, wardaddy.
Wonderful post, as usual.
I totally agree with you, too.
Dang, but the world is, culturally, a scarey place.
Kids are so internet savvy, too.
I have two grandsons who learned how to put together a power point presentation at age eight.
I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Thanks for bringing this site to my attention.
I'm going to keep an eye out for it.
The oldest grandson is more interested in downloading songs for his iPod at present.
But, it won't be long before things change drastically where his interests are concerned.
That scares his parents to death.
But, they don't know what "scared" is.
Just wait until the youngest is that age.
She's a "she". LOL
"Raising children today tests one's mettle."
It surely does, and I admire y'all who are raising good kids.
That has to be the toughest job on Earth, right now.
