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.

well my point about the *one size fits all* is that (you all) think communion should be an open table for all religions (notice the plural here) and that is far from accurate.....go ahead and continue your differences here. it goes to show just how much you *don't* know about the catholic church.

Crushed into the ground during the last series of incomprehensible posts.

>>has no idea that your DH isn't Catholic? Really? You think so?
my parish is 5000 families strong so no, the priest does not know dh isn't catholic. but the fact that he does walk up with me and the kids and uses the universal sign of crossing his hands over his heart for a blessing instead is showing respect for the communion table at my church.

>>assume the homeless people in the church weren't Catholic?
oh a hunch considering the manner or lack of formality with it (taking it without an amen). sinner for thinking such presumptuous thoughts? sure, i admit.

Books you might not read based on your beliefs - I'm thinking of the Simpsons episode where the aliens have a book entitled "How to Serve Humans" and Lisa starts screaming, "It's a cookbook!"

Yes I think the table should be open.
