I think Parents ar...I am totally with you on this. I think Parents aren't parenting anymore. Partially because we have to work out of the home a lot of the time. But the time that you ARE with your kids, you have to be aware of what those little sponges are sucking into their subconcious. <br />I was really sick last week and for lack of any other option, i had to park Chewie in front of a movie with some crackers, just so i could get a bit of sleep - but i felt damn guilty for using a digital babysitter. <br /><br />I just don't get why some people have kids at all? Sigh. <br /><br />i think its up to our generation to bring back the childhood... y'know? We're of the generation that can remember having the familiy memories, but also had the technology in our childhoods too. As opposed to those people who were having little kids when we were in high school...if that makes any sense.<br /><br />We need to remember that a balance CAN exist... and that a "Magic box" is not a parent or a babysitter. <br /><br />Rock on, lady friend.

I am disgusted by our nation's gross consumerism and plan on teaching my children the value of relationships and experiences, rather than things. People are so f-ed up nowadays they don't even know how unhappy they REALLY are: eating themselves to death (or drinking/drugs) and mindless antisocial activity to pass the time...<br />I do believe there's going to be a major turnaround with future generations as we've reached the peak of "luxurious living" and unsustainable conditions.<br /><br />I'll have to watch that video you suggested. If you haven't already seen "The Story of Stuff" it is available on Google as well. It's not overly long, but look for the full version.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053493274077308987noreply@blogger.com
