Dont get me wrong though, I met MANY soccer mums on the net who can write beautiful mature stories, it's just the none enlightened kind that pisses me off. Like my mother, oooooooh....if she caught me playing Dragon Age.... |

The ones that bother me are the soccor moms that think that society should be completely "G-rated" so that their child is not exposed to anything slightly risque. Instead I think these people should exercise actual parenting skills and censor what their child is exposed to instead of expecting society to do it for them. These people get so horribly out of shape at the slightest hint of sex or nudity in a movie, while at the same time allowing their twelve year old daughter to go to the mall to see the latest Saw movie installment with her cell-phone and her thong hanging out of her jeans. In my opinion it is just ridiculous. I always say "If you do not like what you or your family is seeing on television then turn it off!" |

Another option is that they could actually sit down and have a conversation with their kid. Wild idea, I know! They could sit down, and explain that the world isn't always a happy place, but that happiness can be found in it. There are some unpleasant things in our world, but if you know about them before hand, you're better equipped to deal with them when they occur. |

Personally I've been 'exposed' to mature films and games when I was young. Hell I saw f-ing Starship Troopers when I was 10 and i grew up alright. Sure I need to shoot someone every five minutes and drink a cup of blood, but i'm alright. |

Heh. Right you are, sir. Personally, I think it's better to try to teach your kids, and share as much information as possible (maybe in a sensitive way, but still) so that they're prepared. I grew up extremely sheltered, and so the realities of the real world were very harsh for me. I would have liked a little more knowledge to start with. |

I agree comepletely. Allow your children to be exposed to as much as possible to a point, but then have the guts to discuss it with them afterwards. In addition let your kids know if they see a movie that is r-rated and such with questionable behavior that they can always ask questions. |

I used to be a teacher so do not even get me started on the educational system these days. Kids are so pampered these days. If a kid gets a bad grade at school the teacher is to blame and not the student, and the parents back it up. In addition this whole "No kid left behind" thing sucks. Some kids do not even try anymore. My thought is if kids are lazy and refuse to try then fail them, it will teach them a lesson and prepare them for the real world. I know it seems harsh, but like Rocky said, "it is a mean, harsh world". |
