I'm surprised at the length of this message. I guess what surprises me the most is thid - do any of you who object so strongly to SB never watch tv that is just mindless jibberish simply to take a break & not have to think? I am not suggesting anyone watch tv 24/7 but my older SA children (10 & 12) watch SB occasionally & they are straight A students who are both in gifted Math classes. SB has obviously not caused their brains to turn to mush yet we don't let them watch tv for more than an hr/day. I am sure there are plenty of.other kids shows worse than SB. SB isn't meant for the PK crowd- pretty sure the rating says 7 & upComment

I know when I read the OP I assumed it was talking about during the day - and in that case, my dck's are all under 5 and SB is not meant for that age group. In my first response I likened it to allowing my kids to watch a movie at school meant for older kids (say PG-13) without my knowledge or permission. As a provider, I don't feel comfortable assuming what I think my DCP's would allow or not.
My own SA kids have watched a few minutes here and there of SB (and that is mostly because I don't want them to be totally out of the loop in school
), but I'm their parent and *I* decide that.

Exactly! The kids I watch don't watch tv here - it's rare if we do.I know when I read the OP I assumed it was talking about during the day - and in that case, my dck's are all under 5 and SB is not meant for that age group.

Thank you for correcting me, I read into that wronglovethis
I don't know about the part of her attacking you- I don't think she is setting out to do that to anyone but only saying her point of view. Yesterday I really got into this thread, to the point of I had to leave it and come back to it today. I have viewed it as good debate and feedback.
Aside from the SB thing, do you know what really urks me!!!? I say this with passion... because it truly bugs me-
commercials that are on before 9pm showing creepy stuff, inappropriate adult content. Does anyone else remember when Adult TV was after 9Pm? What happened? I personally don't want to see horror stuff in between watching Jeopardy. Killings? That crud gives me nightmares- UGH! You know most parents don't filter this at home-Comment

I too am a thinker and do the same. I don't know if your wrong or not, maybe just have a different take on things. We all have many facets that help build who we are and what we stand for. I too think you debate just fine and I say this often I enjoy everyone's input, no matter if I agree or not. My point of view has changed over the years on different things as times have changed and knowledge and experiences have happened for me- It's all good~Comment

I absolutely hate that show! It teaches kids to be rude and disrespectful and I never let any of them watch that here. I don't allow any of those gross cartoons; Simpsons, Family Guy, Beevus & and the stupid guy, and especially South Park. Those shows are NOT for kids and in my opinion not good material for anyone.sigpicMarilynnComment
