As my friend caught her breath from surprise, I finished by stating, All my daughters had to do was to prove to me and their mother that their desired entertainment fit within the family entertainment guidelines. This is why I suggest that every family have entertainment guidelines. It makes life a lot easier. No matter where you set your guideline, your children are going to push your limits. This causes confusion for your child.
Confusion leads to anger.
Anger leads to fights. And you will never fight your child into making the right decision. I believe the entertainment media supplies the ammunition aimed at our family. My suggestion is that you take entertainment guidelines seriously and that you make setting them a matter of prayer for you and your spouse. Think about it.
