That was actually aimed somewhat at you, but I have confidence that you'll do things right.

Nah, it's not as hard as it's generally made out to be. The biggest issue for us seems to be the influx of bizarre and questionable media, oh and relatives. A password on the TV, Playstation and computers solve the first. A surplus ground spike solves the other.

Can you set those to block out Paris Hilton?

Yup. I can restrict what channels I want on. Hence there are only cartoons and Discovery, kinda like Flanders but with more than just the Vision channel. Naturally I had to take the nudie pics off the PS3 though. No kid wants to see Mommy like that.

I should hope not.

You did save them SOMEWHERE for Daddy, though, right?

Well, he's not negligent. I assume he's got them password protected somewhere.

Yes, and the password is...

Actually, my daughter is young enough that simple involvement is key. I watch with her, read with her, etc. If there is something questionable, I'm around to explain why it's right or wrong. Unfortunately, that little idea of involvement seems to be too much for many parents anymore.

Which of itself seems weird to me, because I'd spend 25 hours a day with my daughter (and the soon-to-be child) if I could.

Driving around the country all day to get from one time zone to the other? How impractical

Good one Shran

I've yet to be blessed with a child, obviously, but what could one rather do when one has a child? This is a person you created. Does one have no concern at all about how their child's upbringing reflects on them? What exactly are these parents doing which is more important than nurturing a young person into the best they can become?

I've experienced how frustrating raising myself and my two younger sisters has been for my folks ( ), but I know that for all of this, they wouldn't trade the experience for all the gold in Fort Knox.

As my baby says........"awesome"
