My parents did a good job keeping that stuff away from me until I was ready

Did your parents have to deal with YouTube? The world is a lot different now. Back when we were growing up, you had to seek out explicit entertainment, now it comes right into the house via cable TV and the Internet. When we were growing up, our parents could let us be by ourselves and pretty much knew we wouldn't be exposed to those things, today you have to watch your kids like a hawk.

I’m young enough that my parents did have to deal with the internet when I was a late teen and do deal with it for my younger brothers. Again, computers in a central area of the house, no smart phone for kids, monitor their friends and you can’t keep everything out but you can limit a lot.

“now it comes right into the house via cable TV and the Internet”

Only if one lets it. Just say “no.”

Yesterday foxnews had 3 victoria’s secret models on during the morning news. Don’t think we would have seen that when we were growing up.
