- Go to CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT TO READ - PERIOD
I cuss like a sailor on here, but that's to get it out of me around the
house. I have sense I thought most people had and that is to NOT talk disgusting in front of kids. I am always amazed at the shit people spill right in front of a 4 year old, with no thought behind it. Amazed.

What I just "love" even more is going to the store and seeing lots of
people wearing profane t-shirts. To me, those seem even more visible. And then you have so many people now who think nothing of swearing profusely in public about everything with no regard to who might be able to hear them. I've gotten to the point where I dread taking my kids anywhere because you never know what they might be exposed to.
We had to stop spelling with my oldest son when he was three. We were planning a b-day party for his younger brother and I spelled P-O-K-E-M-O-N in reference to the decorations I bought and my oldest son looked up and said, "Pokemon????" I was stunned! I was just thinking, "Well, that was certainly unexpected! So much for being able to spell things out!"
I wish they could be sheltered and innocent forever. I'm dreading the coming years.

You are right sassy...sex is a big one. It's everywhere. Go to a grocery,
it's on the magazines, it's hard to shield them from it all. Need to by them some blinders...or just tie a scarf around their eyes...and get them a seeing eye dog. haha ha

I guess I am a snob about things like bumper stickers as I don't know why people want to drive about with moronic statements on their cars.It's like saying, "Thickhead driving"

I used to worry about this also
I remember back when my husband and I used to spell things out, and then that stopped when the kids learned to spell. It really isn't the kids fault, its the people that allow garbage to be obtainable to young, fragile minds. T.v. needs to be put into check, and I hate bumper stickers anyway. They are gawdy on vehicles, and make them look cheap.

mmm-w, see, I married a dumbass. So when I would try to spell things out?
"What? What? C-a-r waaahhht? Huh?" After 2 or 3 tries, I want to smack him upside his friggin head right before my daughter tells him what I was spelling.

whew boy do I know that! I was telling a friend about my tanning salon
that closed down because the girl got real bad off into, "D-R-U-G-S". Right then, "I know what that spells! Drugs! You had to change where you tan because the lady does drugs?" Then after being busted on it, I had to go into the spill about "Yes, I'm so proud you can read so well, and see what drugs can do? She lost everything because of it..."
Noted to self on that day, no more spelling.

yes,
i thought we would be able to spell atleast until kids were 10.... nope. but then again it doesn't help when my husband says "huh? can you go slower?" and i have to talk turtle and say "I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M" and he still stares bewildered........ so i guess in our house i only end up spelling for my own entertainment anyhow....

OMG
i have thought the exact thing. i was so proud.... and then one day we are driving down the road and she starts sounds stuff out... "shshsh-it... shit? mommy what does that mean?"
i felt like i had stood in to play the mole in a reproduction of the classic game "whack-a-mole"...
it has gotten to the point where i tell her "no more talking in the car sweetie..." sure, she still sounds it all out in her head but atleast my furthered state of denial goes on..... until we move to japan! (she won't know what the hell anything says then, but neither will i so we can live in ignorant bliss together.)
