Times are changing fast– that’s what I learned today 🙁
It’s 7 : 28 PM on day 500 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Genesis 11 as part of my ongoing quest to learn more about the Bible, feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, drink juice by myself, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, reply to a few comments on this blog, work, feed myself spaghetti bolognaise for lunch, watch TV – my brother was using the laptop – and work some more.
Today while working I was listening to the radio and I was SHOCKED at how sexually explicit the music was every second lyric of almost every song had the words fuck or hump in them is it just me or is that totally inappropriate no wonder my brother came home from school in the fourth grade and asked my father what a condom was whatever happened to the days when the lyrics of songs actually had meaning. Are you able to adapt to the new cultural norms quickly enough?

Hi
Nope your rite about the music today. Our kids love
the older country music and oldies to. Same is with the
tv and movies now a days.
Our 14 yr old daughter when she was about 10 or 11
asked me what a tampon was for because she seen it
on tv and all so the pads with wings. I had to explain
both to her. Tampons she thinks is gross. lol
You are raising an important question about song lyrics. Think about radio as a ongoing brainwashing. So if they are using those sexually explicit words all the time, do you even wonder why we have so many single mother or sexual abuse in this country and worldwide?
You’re right Ramon it is a brainwashing of sorts and the sad part is these kids are too young to understand that they are being brainwashed and that I know does play a role in young girls making bad choices.
Yours truly,
Nisha
Really? Wow kids these days are growing up too fast at least she feels comfortable enough with you to ask questions which I would be happy about if I were a parent.
Yours truly,
Nisha
PS. I also think tampons are gross LOL 🙂
Hi
So true about the songs and you got tv shows
and movies that have sex seen.
Our 14 yr old daughter new more about sex than
I did at her age and some is coming from her friends
in school.
I think parents should sit down and talk with there
children about sex and what can happen if protection
not used and what these songs and all other things mean.
When I was young talking about sex was a taboo you didn’t
mention it in my mom’s house. Now with me I’ll sit and explain
things to our children. Other parents should talk open to there kids.
Yes really she asked me I’ve a close relation with our kids.
I’m glad they can come to me with any thing.
I agree with you parents should talk to their kids about sex but sadly not very many do.
Yours truly,
Nisha
