Bingo...You've hit the nail on the head with that point Susan. You guys ever watch primetime TV? Ever notice how the Dads on TV are portrayed as buffoons, while the kids are shown to be wise beyond their years? The kids on TV disobey their parents, talk back, slam doors & the kids watching it at home for 4-5 hours a night think that it's normal to be that way. I may be stretching, but I think I'm on to something. We all would be better off with less TV. Who knows, kids may actually talk to their parents if they didn't have the TV on so long...they may start to look-up to their mom & dad. Kids may even learn to pick-up a book every know and then...wouldn't that be something?
