[Miss Olivia]

I was raised in a super conservative religious family, and in most things I'm the polar opposite of what I was taught when I was a kid....I was terrified of men for a long time, and I don't want my son to have that problem with women. If I thought that were the case, I'd just change my opinion on the subject. I just have a feeling he's going to run into sexual material plenty more than I did when I was a kid and there's no need for me to be involved directly with it. You can go ahead and sit through something like Basic Instinct with your preteen and explain every part of it, but I find that creepy. It's like the beginning of an after school special or something. Now, if we were walking down the street and ran into homeless people boning in the park or something, I'll explain it no problem, because then it's necessary. I won't stop walking down the street.....but I can decide not to view things like that with my kid until he's older.

I would like to stress that I am NOT putting down your way of raising your children, because that is your choice. The preceding opinion is MY choice.
Different strokes and all that.
