We sort of have given up on the idea of taking any sort of personal responsibility for what we see. I don't understand it at all. There are many things that I won't let my kids watch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we want parents to be discerning about what children are watching then we need to put stuff in there for them to watch, too.
It's so very important as to what a child watches on TV. I feel for every parent that knows this, and cares, because they only have control of the child's viewing to a certain point.
All of these things we do without children, and suddenly we don't do them anymore, and it comes home to us in a real way, that it's very different to have the responsibility of a child.
When you have parents who are a little out of their minds, somebody has to take responsibility.
Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.
Responsibility is the thing people dread most of all. Yet it is the one thing in the world that develops us, gives us manhood or womanhood fiber.
With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models.
Each one of us has to take responsibility for reality, and present it so that kids will grow up familiar with that and say, OK. I've seen that before. I'm not afraid of it.
It surprises me how much children like me, you know? If they look at me as an example, I have a big responsibility.
When I started having kids, I thought, 'I don't want to do anything they can't watch.'
