The kids have bad, disrespectful attitude towards their parents. And while I understand that kids act that way at times, I'm not going to encourage it through their media (which they tend to emulate). I looooooved Finding Nemo until I became a parent. And was so bummed when I realized that he's kind of a brat to his poor, clueless father (another thing that now bothers me). So, there's a long answer to your short question. :)What I Did Todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499537538615641522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300446176016917084.post-5211520000620995432011-12-15T09:23:46.350-08:002011-12-15T09:23:46.350-08:00Why do you have an issue with the Little Mermaid?Why do you have an issue with the Little Mermaid?munhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449093706822850017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300446176016917084.post-27673864807600803102011-12-15T05:49:15.982-08:002011-12-15T05:49:15.982-08:00Raising 4 girls terrifies me.

I try hard to make my girls understand that they can be anything they want to be, what other people think doesn't matter and that they should be sheep and follow the crowd. I've also banned all those annoying teeny dramas on the disney channel!!!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404795780122015039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300446176016917084.post-5841899529577950482011-12-14T17:51:48.143-08:002011-12-14T17:51:48.143-08:00Sounds like an interesting read.

One thing that was suggested to me when my kids were young and it was some of the best advice I ever got was to make my house the hangout house. That way I'd know who their friends were, what they were doing etc.AudreyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674641559102984186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300446176016917084.post-80904727602257798522011-12-14T13:20:43.745-08:002011-12-14T13:20:43.745-08:00I always have a book going.

I want my kids to respect others as children of God, not turn them into playthings. (I was very boy-crazy as a kid. I want to try to lean AWAY from that because it was just silly.)<br />I also think that a lot of times, adults read too much into what stories their kids are watching. When I was a kid, I wasn't analyzing the underlying themes of Sleeping Beauty and thinking: well, I should just go to sleep and Prince Charming will fix everything. No, I just thought it was a pretty story that I liked. <br />So yes, great food for thought. I don't like how much the authors of the book seem to bash things though. Sometimes I think people need to just calm down. <br />Great post, Jamie!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857711562597839692noreply@blogger.com
