No...You'd think that Uncle Fred wasnt a good influence on your kid and you'd be around him when he was with Uncle Fred. Yet parents have 100 uncle fred's (ie, 100 different TV channels) babysit their kids and directly talk to them every day. GROW THE FUCK UP...IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO BE A PARENT...DONT HAVE CHILDREN....CONDOMS AND BIRTH CONTROL ARE A BEAUTIFUL THING  (Unless you're extreme religious...then you're just fucked  ) |
Well said!
I have a 9 month old and a 7 year old and they watch NO TV ... NONE!
As a parent, it's my job to decide what's appropriate and what's not. My kids are fun loving, imaginative, smart and interesting children - all without the boob tube involved in their lives and growth.
That doesn't mean I don't watch TV - that doesn't mean I'm a super strict parent either ... I just don't see TV as necessary for their development and since they never have it ... they don't miss it.
It's not like they don't see it sitting in our living room and our bedroom - they just know that we feel TV is not appropriate for them (at least the 7yr old does) and accept it without question or argument!
I feel the same way about music on the radio. It's not necessary for my kid to hear "Candy Shop" and all the othe songs blaring with sexual innuendos and crap.
I want my kids to remain "untarnished" by BS and be joyful kids as long as possible without the influence of commercial TV and radio telling them what they should be like and what crap they should want!
