Eltanin Sadachbia I don't mind Barbies so much as long as they are modest. I prefer the ones with clothes painted on for now. I don't mind my daughter playing princess ballet, or fairytales with hers. I hate Bratz. Seriously, when the name itself is so blatant about the spirit that the dolls portray. I am trying to teach my kids to be respectful and caring of others, and the dolls glorify selfish materialism. GAHHH.
And respect is very hard to teach now. All these kids I see are little brats...

Layla Oleander Well that is cool~ It is a very pretty language! And they are to good at learning things. .-. Psh, being strict is good but, when it comes to somethings if you are strict about it, when your child gets older, they will have a harder time making friends because of certain things. At least that is what I found. If I had been sheltered, I would have never met any of my friends. At times that would be good but, it would also be terrible~ There are just somethings you can never protect your lovelies from. Like knowing about sex. Unless you never let them look at a magazine~ O___O

(Long story) and it is like the dolls that make girls feel bad about their bodies. It is hard to teach. (So I hear) I sure as hell know I never learned it, and it is to late to learn it. You teach it when they are young or they will grow up pointing out why they hate their teachers.

Or it makes them feel safer. And once more I am gonna touch up on the talking thing. I can not tell my mum anything without it getting awkward. How ever, I can tell my friend. But, for me that even has been taken away. For all I know, next thing I could be doing is being a slut hoping for love. .-.

And I understand the "just doing it for attention, saftey" and all that stuff. But parents really need to start paying attention to their kids. They are their responsibility. But of course there are the parents who did not want the kid/kids. It's sad. My husband did not want our daughter since we were so young, but I wanted her and he is getting a lot better. The others... not so much.
And why do I always get these threads so off topic!?

However, who can blame her? She has raised four kids, one of which is autistic, another one who falls apart, she just need to keep some sanity.

I don't think my kids are over protected. I hold the stance that if my child is old enough to ask a question about something, then they are old enough to receive an honest answer. It leaves me in a pickle at times, but adhere to it religiously.
I don't tell my son that he absolutely can't watch Spongebob, it just isn't allowed in our house. If he goes somewhere and it's on, then that's fine, and he can even watch it. I don't think it should be something he clamors to get to the TV to catch on a nightly basis, and I don't want my 3 year old imitating some of the crap on there. In doing it this way, he has learned to be skeptical of what he watches, and he has actually put a standard to humor.
I give my kids room to make their own decisions and even make mistakes, but I want to be sure they know where I stand before they make their decisions. In taking time to analyze what goes into their mind, they take time to analyze what comes out of their mouths before they speak, or think about what they do before they act.
Believe me, I know the consequences of over-protection, just as much as I know the consequences of lack of concern. Sometimes I would gambit that the kids who have parents who don't care what their kids do are better off than the over-protected ones. I also know what happens when there is a good balance going on, and I am striving to be THAT way. I also know how touchy the social system is becoming, and I don't want to have to explain to anyone why my toddler (or my 8 year old for that matter) is using language that doesn't sound quite right for them to be using.

Huh?~ It is right to answer questions truthfully.
It isn't? Woah. O: Never heard of that before~ Like I understand iCarly and Disney but, SpongeBob? Woah~ O___O
Yeah~ That is good.
If he goes to a public school that is the reason. It is hard not to hear cussing or talk of drugs at them~
