You can only shelter them so far and for so long, once they hit middle school and are riding the school bus the end of that sheltering has come. They will hear the music eventually, and I can only hope they will do their best at filtering it based on the way they've been raised. Certain types of music were not allowed in my house and I did not allow my daughter to listen at home either. She's grown up well, she's not perfect, but she's good and has morals and values I'm proud of. I'd say it all falls on the parenting Jen, and I absolutely know that you and your husband will do a great job on that end.nfabandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602209788560333463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665726263581432997.post-32447944902217270592011-04-19T19:56:07.192-04:002011-04-19T19:56:07.192-04:00really interesting post...
I do often think about ...really interesting post...<br />I do often think about things and wonder "why aren't people raising a fuss over this" knowing all the other silly things people cause a ruckus over -- and this is something that kids can easily be subjected to!Mrs Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447673599489189893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665726263581432997.post-2714271367252833522011-04-19T17:01:11.846-04:002011-04-19T17:01:11.846-04:00Hi there!

I don't really have any firm plans, but like someone else mentioned, it's certainly not the first time that music has had some shady messages. I guess I'll probably just explain that it's just a song and that the things she says aren't serious..... or something like that. Or just never put on the pop station when she's in the car, ever again. Same with Ke$ha and Lady Gaga, who I will admit to liking and singing along to. I just can't deny my love for crappy music, I guess. Started with NKOTB, and continues to this day.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665726263581432997.post-34314015690944207192011-04-18T13:56:42.726-04:002011-04-18T13:56:42.726-04:00I think it is awful and a huge part of the problem...I think it is awful and a huge part of the problem with American Society. I can't stand that junk, it gives very bad messages to our kids. Most parents where I teach (inner city) do not sensor anything their kids see or hear, it is very disturbing the impressions they have these days!Kristihttp://www.sweetsauer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665726263581432997.post-60462245121943275022011-04-18T08:39:01.301-04:002011-04-18T08:39:01.301-04:00And this is why we listen to Thomas and Elmo cds i...And this is why we listen to Thomas and Elmo cds in the car!! Yes, it drives me nuts at times, but I don't want to answer those questions until I have to.<br /><br />I never thought I would be one to shield my children from the media, but I do. No Tv (only videos) when the girls are up and only rarely the radio. Most often it's cds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698211507956334881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665726263581432997.post-46903016818855009392011-04-18T07:37:56.597-04:002011-04-18T07:37:56.597-04:00I totally agree with your commentary on those song...I totally agree with your commentary on those songs. One day last week I heard "S&M" on the way to work (at a daycare) and it was stuck in my head. That is not a song you want to be humming when you go into work with kids! <br /><br />Now if it comes on during my commute (also 35 minutes) I switch stations. We have a newer 90s station that plays better music but I like the hosts of the top 40 station's morning show!Derby_Newbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458556913159602201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665726263581432997.post-9671874271395693462011-04-18T07:37:09.966-04:002011-04-18T07:37:09.966-04:00I think the same thing about that rihanna song. Ye...I think the same thing about that rihanna song. Yea the beat is catchy which is worse! I told my husband don't freak out when your two daughters come up here and are singing that song. One wouldn't in front of him, but the younger just doesn't see anything wrong and will sing it. Last summer they were reciting word for word all the Kesha lyrics! <br /><br />Then I also think back to when I was a kid and some songs I liked. Talk Dirty to Me was out by Poison, Madonna's lyrics to almost any songs (yes even her younger days...kids saying like a virgin is a little weird) In a way, things aren't very different except NOW no one gets banned from MTV (Gaga & Rihanna) the way Madonna was CONSTANTLY banned for her videos yet theirs aren't much better.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838101155785905633noreply@blogger.com
