If all it takes to “destroy your family” is this soap opera about teens, then you’re probably not doing a very good job as a parent. It is just a television show. Do you think that your teenagers are not exposed to things worse than this in real life situations everyday at their own schools?
If this is really a problem for you, then you better not let your kids see anything that’s on MTV these days[grin], like that show “Jersey Shore”.
I think the last post is way off base. Sounds like you do not have kids or you gave up on them a long time ago! We do not throw our kids to the lions because the culture is off. As for me and my house we will choose right. Does that mean I force my kids one way or the other? Absolutely not but I do tell them the truth. I also don;t over react when they make some of the choices kids make. Sure my kids make mistakes but I will err on the side of righteous not feed poison to them while I smile in their faces as if all is ok!
Stu, t
hank you revealing the truth.
Steve – Utah When r we going to jump back on this Christian Rap topic?
Welcome to the website Steve[smile]!
Always a pleasure to hear from a new source of opinion.
Perhaps you have it backwards,…perhaps I just give “kids”[what are you talking about here, six year-olds or nineteen year-olds?]more credit than you think. Would you like to debate on this?
If so, then I’ll be waiting.
My kids are grown now but we battled over the Disney Channel of all things. All these shows show kids as smart, making intelligent decisions while their parents are depicted as bumbling idiots and the kids as having at best mere disdain for them. Teenage kids are drama prone enough they do not need help. And if you think ABC Family cares one whit about your kids you are a fool. You also should not be letting your kids watch TV unattended so garbage like that gets to them. Doing everything you can to protect your kids from the predators of the world is what it is all about and no, your kids won’t like it now. Too bad, they are the kid and you are the parent. It also does not matter if they are 6 or 19, my house, my rules, if you are 19 and don’t like my rules, too bad, go make your own way in the world while you still know it all. And if you are giving kids credit for having not only the discernment but the will power to make the right choice when you are not there you are the biggest fool of all.
Barefoot Thomas! Good to hear from you again[smile].
Which Disney movies were you thinking of? “The Parent Trap”? Some, like “The Sound Of Music” were good at portraying strong, intelligent parents/adults…[smile].
“You also should not be letting your kids watch TV unattended so garbage like that[?]gets to them.”
That was part of what I was thinking of when I typed “…then you’re probably not doing a very good job as a parent.” within post #1.
So, have you actually seen the show that was the subject of this topic? I wanted to know what you were thinking of when you typed “garbage like that”, and so far all I see is a mention of Disney movies and the ABC channel. I an keenly interested in picking the brain of someone who thinks of Disney movies as potentially harmful for the minds of “kids”. I made the word like that within my posts because it has never yet been specified here what ages people are thinking about when using this word. It’s one of those labels that people can’t always agree on. For example, my childhood ended when I was around 12 years old[I had too many responsibilities and things to learn], so it’s difficult for me to think of people over the age of 14 as “kids” anymore. In my world filled with dangers and responsibilities, teenagers just seem like…ignorant and unmotivated adults[grin].
Perhaps “kids” just grow up a lot slower where ever you are at?
“And if you are giving kids[?]credit for having not only the discernment but the will power to make the right choice when you are not there you are the biggest fool of all.”
And who said that? Did you think that IIIIIII said that?
Barefoot Thomas, are you trying to imply that a…”kid” in their mid to late teens[say, 14-19] after YEARS of your good parenting, is unable to have the willpower and discernment to make the “right choice”[by whatever you mean by this.] when they are by themselves?
If so, then it seems as if something is wrong with said hypothetical “kid’s” mind, or a parents parenting skills[smile].
Besides, do not SOME mistakes need to be made to aide in the learning process of life? And no, I’m not talking about teen pregnancy or drug use, or any of the other “life shattering” types of mistakes, I’m just saying that one cannot shelter “kids’ from the “world” forever. They need to know what they are up against and how to interact with things, and you cannot always learn lessons about life, people, and work from behind a shield or at a distance, you know.
