Can you post anything without bragging? Kids hear this stuff at school, on the bus, from their friends, during “kid’s shows” and a thousand other places that you don’t control.

How am I bragging? I’m not, and I’m not trying to. The article said:

“Mothers of young children are worried because you can’t control the TV remote control.”

I’ve been saying all along- yes you can. I took responsibility as a parent and said, “no,” you can’t watch that garbage on tv, home-schooled and ended up with a decent child. I guess I should be elated for being persecuted for trying to live a Godly life in Christ.

“Kids hear this stuff at school, on the bus, from their friends, during “kid’s shows” and a thousand other places that you don’t control.”

Again, my child was homeschooled. She didn’t learn this stuff from school, or from friends (who were screened) or from “kid’s shows” which I held the remote for. The thousand other places... well, I was “mom” 24/7 for the last 15 of her 15 years. When did “mom” or “parent” become an evil word? I feel like this article is an apologetic’s piece for working moms who feeling guilty. It’s really simple- if you’re blaming the tv, turn it off.

“places that you don’t control.”

Hmmm...what would that be? I control the car going to the grocery store, the meals I put on the table, the car going to the mall (which wild horses couldn’t drag her to)...we seem to be living in diferent worlds.
