...I agree. But not all kids are like that. My son is perfect...  Television is terrible. It was years ago and it seems to get only worse. But what can one do? Forbid too watch or forbid the tv producers to make that kind of trash? Maybe teach the children that it is trash and they better not watch it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28057136 No, not all kids are like that which is why I go out of my way to recognize a young person that I see doing good. I have 4 grown kids and they are all functioning members of society, not perfect but they are great. I didn't really censor them but would talk about what things they did see. It's impossible to hide them from everything. Growing up we did not discuss sex, it was forbidden. Kids need guidance now more then ever. I also have to agree that the one parent household has changed things. I did it and it was very difficult, I would have loved to have the male figure around, it makes a difference. I did it too. Not easy on your own. But it might even be better than with that male figure around. Ofcourse I missed someone too. It depends on if that person would be a loving father or a father who walked away after a few years. Better ONE loving parent than two fighting... You raised four on your own? Honestly I have to agree with you there. My dad was a violent alcoholic and mad our lives miserable, did a lot of damage and I am sure if he wasn't in the picture we would have been a lot happier and not have all of the awful memories but it was very difficult for woman back then to survive on their own. I raised them on my own starting after their dad discovered crack. I worked two jobs most of the time...my mom helped me out a lot. Wanted to add that when my youngest was in 1st grade the school suggested I put him on meds. He glued the legs of his desk to the floor because it was lopsided and moving around. Hell no! There was no such thing as ADHD when I was in school. There were always one or two kids that were little more exuberant or would misbehave but that usually got solved by teachers and parents working together. Wish I could mail you...
