You might be a crappy parent if you buy a 2011 Escalade for yourself, a 2011 Tahoe for your newlywed husband, a huge flat screen for your bedroom while leaving the 13" in the living room(13" tv, that is) less than 5 months from when your previous husband died from cancer. True story

I left out, all paid with the life insurance policy money she got.

How much more is left?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

How much more is left?

she's burned through her first $100,000 policy back in October, so who knows how much is left from her second policy. We have a pool at work that says she'll be out by the new year.

People need to take responsibility for their ty parenting and stop blaming video games and movies for their stupid ass re children

This.

[howbouthemspurs]

I cant wait till my son is old enough to play video games with him!

Watching Terminator 2 and playing Doom when I was little turned me into a serial killer. Your kid is better off watching Disney Channel 24/7.

My 7 year old nephew OWNS me at MW2 and gears of war. He minds his parents and does well in school. Making the claim that violent games/movies makes a kid violent is on the same level as claiming religion makes people violent.

Did she pay off the mortgage?

Someone is always going to how a parent brings up a kid, as long as you're kid don't kill/bully mine I say you did a fine job.

That's not exactly a good sample size though Hal.

I definitely agree with the argument that those cases are few and far between, but it's not something you can rule out in a blanket statement.

you might be a crappy parent if you pepper spray others to get a video game system for your kid.

not saying it happened......just saying.

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my buddy passing. He would not have been happy how the Lakers ended their season. Anyway, his widow came up to work with 2 of her kids. They said the oldest daughter has gained about 50lbs+ and the youngest one about 30lbs+ since they last came around.....for the money, that is. They said the worthless excuse for a mother/human being reeked of booze and weed. She's gone through all the money. Two $100K policies on top of the $15K the owner of the company gave to them out of his own pocket. Being that little kids have no filter on their mouths, thank Gawd, she said that her and her big sister sleep on the couch, COUCH!, in the living room. They do that because the big sister's room is too dirty and has "booboos", , in it. Who's asshole it came from is a mystery. Oh and she said they just see their mom in the morning. SMDH.

Lol video games

[RGMCSE]

When my daughter was 5 or 6 I wouldn't even let her watch the movie "Matilda" because I was worried that she wouldn't understand the difference between make believe & reality. I didn't want her to think the movie was real & that I would ever give her away. It blows my mind that parents let young kids actually kill w/video games at that age. They don't even really understand the fantasy/reality line until they are at least 8.

My daughter didn't have access to a video game system until she was 15 & then rarely... until she saved up and bought her own at almost 17. Now at almost 20, she kicks most peoples ass on xbox live. But I don't think young kids should be exposed to that.

But your teaching her how to be an internet skank though. Look at your avatar...

[baseline bum]

When I was five there wasn't much out there, I played Warlords, Galaga, etc.

I do remember thinking I was a Warlord though.

Mortal Kombat came out when I was about thirteen. I don't ever remember thinking I should or could get into fights with people, or tear their spines out.

Since I didn't have a gun back then, that ing game taught me to throw rocks at bees and .

It's no different than parents who think listening to Jay-Z or Dr. Dre rap about drugs and women is horrible for their kids but Rihanna singing about how whips and chains excite her is something they don't have a problem with.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Btw, I'm saying that because of how much parents love the Disney channel and are too stupid to figure out it sells sex to their kids just as much as video games and other TV do

I don't love the Disney channel by any means. My daughter watches a couple of shows on it and I don't have any problem with them. I don't think Disney Channel itself is actively marketing sex to the same degree MTV or shows geared for adults do. I don't remember hearing any sexually explicit songs on the Disney Channel or Disney Radio. There's some innuendo from time to time but I don't think they play anything overly explicit. Some of the artists they play do have songs that aren't appropriate for kids but think they avoid these. And of course there is no violence or drug references to really speak of.

My biggest objection to Disney is the continual manufacturing of stars and their eventual ty music and acting careers.
