What music does your preteen listen to? - Page 2

Nope, not from WI I've used this name on different boards for years and I get that question quite a bit.

We were in the midst of a Stinky Cheeseman book addiction when I chose it.

This thread really has me thinking. Although I don't regret the way I've raised Damian, I do find myself doing many things differently with my two little ones.

I find I'm sheltering my toddler from many of the programs I had no issues with DS #1 watching. Shows such as The Rugrats and the like. There's a lot of negativity in that show. Parent's not watching their children, Angelica screaming at the babies and calling them names, etc. I've also weaned some old books out of our collection that I never would have deemed as inappropriate for Damian.

I guess I chalk it up to being older, wiser and more of a pacifist than I used to be.

My ds #2 is eleven years younger than his older bro, ds #1. I do much more screening of #2's movies, tv viewing, etc. than I did for #1.

Like you, I chalk it up to heightened pacifism on my part, and a fierce desire to protect "my baby" from violence in our world.

By the way, I am from Wisconsin!

We only listen to the radio. We never buy CDs. My husband watches MTV alot, and our 9 yr old watches too. Sometimes DH burns CDs, but we all listen to it. We dont like the Rap music or anything that is too full of hate, so it's not even an issue here.
When he is older and wants to be into his 'own' music, then that will be ok with me!
