I may be failing

As a parent but my son knows all the cuss words. He's not allowed to say them, and he understands there is a time and place for that type of language. I never felt like I could shield him from Louie Louie his whole life. I've even unwittingly burned him a cd that had foul language on it. (Gorillaz) Maybe I'm a bad parent, and maybe this a big experiment that will ultimately fail..time will tell.

In my house you don't have to film Elvis from the waist up, ban Louie Louie, or be afraid to shake it.

My hope is that I can raise an intelligent child who will exercise good judgment in a complex world. Not spend a lifetime trying to protect him from the harsh realities of the Kingsmen.

h just turned 3. says things like hey mama, lets get the freak outta here and dammit when she stubs her toe. i don't think this will ruin her for that great promotion. i will teach her and the baby to respect people and always have empathy for people, but i am not going to edit music, paintings, or reading material for them. thats no good
