You people act like because I don't agree with some of these commercials, like that's all I let my children do. I don't think that allowing them an hour or so of tv time is acting as a free babysitter. I don't think any of you have a window into my world, so stop thinking you do. How fair would it be to never let them watch anything because I don't have time to sit and make sure that nothing is airing that they shouldn't see? They rarely get any tv time during the week because we're always too busy getting ready for the rest of the week. But okay, I'm a bad parent because my children are allowed to sit and watch it at all. I'll take that. I know that what I'm doing as a parent is right, and frankly, I don't need a strangers opinion on one comment to make me feel any different. And yes, I can control, if I sit there the entire time and screen commercials. Which I don't have time to do, that being the reason they don't get much tv.

Ms. Calvert-
Your digging yourself into a hole with this. Stop trying to justify your child watching tv and complaing about what he/she is exposed to. Try taking him/her to the library. The Tyler library is a wonderful resource for anything your child's mind can imagine. Stop complaining about commercials that you can not control and take 30 minutes out of your busy week and take your child to the library. You can check out books, videos and audio tapes/CD's. They have no commercials and you CAN CONTROL the content of your child's viewing and best of all.... it's FREE!

Remember- take a positve stand about what you can control in your life and don't waste time being upset about the things you can't.

Cathie
