Offended Parental Sensibilities

the world is a messy place, so to portray only a sanitised version serves no one. it institutionalises falsehood, and dumbs down the next generation.

kids aren't stupid. they see REAL problems, and wonder why the heck mum/dad/granny get their knickers in a twist about things that clearly do not matter.

oh, and don't get me wrong, i made plenty of mistakes as a parent, but me and the kids talk them out, and rather than want them to emulate me, i encourage them to do better than me.

last time i said that to my daughter was 2 years ago. her reply - "I accept that challenge!"
