bad mommy and daddy report tonight..we were channel surfing and dh decides to announce that we're going to watch the abc movie sixth sense. i'm saying no way and the oldest two, ages 6 and almost 8, are all for it because it's *scaaaaaary*. at every commercial i'm saying it's just make believe it's just make believe and even encouraged a channel change. we watched the entire movie and when it was time to go to bed, my oldest asked a genuine question: what do you do if (big emphasis on *if*) things pop out of the television mom? i reminded her that it was only a movie and that would never happen. she was certain i was wrong and kept asking "but what *if*...." i said it wouldn't happen and included other shows that wouldn't pop out either like her favorites spongebob and lizzie mcguire.

i feel so bad that these kids watched this movie. are there limits on programming at your home and would you have handled the scenario the same way with children at this age? tia for any btdt or advice.

m3t who can't wait til the school year starts so we can get back into a routine of 8P bedtime.

They *do* exclude me.


Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

Actually Methodists are very similar to Catholics...at least in what is said a lot of times during service.

I didn't say there weren't a different denomination.

>>Are they not bringing judgement down to earth and placing it in man's hands when it doesn't belong either place?
no more than the separation of denominations in itself pa!

So you are disrespecting my church because you don't agree with the teachings?

Haven't you been on this board long enough to know that answer? Any kind of disagreement is disrespect. Sheesh.


Go borrow some memos from Suzy's goat.

Way to not answer the question.


So you think we should all go back to being Jewish as Jesus was?
