first thanks everyone for game links they sent for
walkthroughs.
I guess I am a little irked when a gal in a hs chat
piped up and disapproved of my son (13) playing
playstation.
I had mentioned the games name, and how he was
having difficulty with the first level.
And told her that he had purchased the game with his
own money.
She than wanted to know if I would allow him also
to have drugs and prorn?
She let me know that her husband had won a playstation
and they sold it. The funny thing is he works for Sony.
They don't have a TV, even though some of the kids were older.
No TV?, I can respect what ever their wishes are.
But in this house there are 4, including one in each childs bedrooms
and one hooked up to a playstation.
I very seldom montiored what the children watched. And if I had
to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. I feel kids need
to make their own choices in TV selection.
You monitor too closely, you get little zombies.
And bet your life, when you are gone, don't tell me they are
going to watch only what you want them to watch.
Maybe this might exlude children of early ages.

We do watch over, just because there are real people playing, but
there are rules that limit language and though there is cool
eye-candy, there are no graphic graphics.
There is a lot she has learned from it. (encouraged reading, group
cooperation, split second reactions, ... etc)

Really respect it?
I don't think you do. I don't think you should.
All this "I respect your choices" that people say to be polite can be totally
thought free.
I'm not going to call the police because my neighbors spank, but I don't
respect it. If the kids ever come to me for help, I'll at least talk to
their parents. In the absence of big injury or cry for help, I won't
interfere. But I sure don't respect it.
Maybe saying you accept their right to have those wishes is closer.
Don't throw your respect around too easily!

Some people aren't very smart.
Unfortunately for ME, a lot of them are homeschooling and so when people meet
me and I say "homeschooling," more often than not they're thinking of someone
with that little mentality.

Most of the time I use the word "respect" meaning the definition; a
courteous regard for people's feelings
"in deference to your wishes"; "out of respect for his privacy"
not as:
a courteous expression (by word or deed) of esteem or regard
"his deference to her wishes was very flattering"; "be sure to give
my respects to the dean"

I homeschool my 5 yo daugter and she watches Smurfs,
G. I. Joe, Ed Edd & Eddy, Courage the Courdly Dog, and
more. She plays with our Playstation, and even
listens to Eminem and Pink. In fact her favorite
movies are the Tremors trilogy and Eight Legged
Frieks. The only things that I sensor from her is
mild to extreme violence, sex and gore. I grew up
with all of the above in a Baptist house hold in
public school and I turned out just fine. My parents
sheilded me from very little. How your children turn
out directly relates to how you as a parent raise
them, not what they watch on TV, hear on a radio, or
the video game they play to pass the time. Get off
your soapbox. That is just a copout.
Truly yours,
Shannon
