I have this feeling....
that I'm going to be the meanest mom ever! I was just browsing my 13 year old cousin's fb page and I can't believe the language he uses! All of his status updates are "eff this" or "that's so gay" and his mom will comment on them like it's no big deal. I would absolutely NOT be ok with this.....I'm going to be a meanie mom for sure.

"that's so gay" would get a beat down from me. but that's because i think using gay as a synonym for stupid is unacceptable under all circumstances.
"eff this" eh. whatever. i dropped eff bombs on the regs when i was in high school (note: i was in highschool at age 13). it was just never allowed to be directed at anyone, or i'd get popped.
honestly at this point you're more likely to get in trouble for dropping the F-bomb on facebook as an ADULT, as all of your personal spaces have been infiltrated by employers....might as well let the kids get all of that sh!t out now. lol

Even with an almost 5 year old & a 2 year old parenting isnt easy. I see how different things are now from even when I was a teen which wasnt that long ago. I've always said I wont allow tvs in bedrooms until theyre teens & I wont let them have cellphones until they have cars but for a kid now thats unheard of, give it another 10 years & kids will have their own houses.
Honestly Im not looking forward to it but Im going to stick to my morals & values even if it makes me a lame as$ mom.
The cell phone thing is another one for me. Our 10 year old neighbor has a cell phone and I just for the life of me don't understand why a 10 year old needs a cell phone. His parents claim it's "an electronic leash", I say just know where your kids are going to be and have the phone numbers of their friends house so you can get ahold of them if you need to. Maybe this will all change when I actually have kids but right now I just don't see it.
I wouldn't call it mean parenting. I think you will be raising great kids who are disciplined, responsible, have manners and virtues, something I see lacking in a lot of kids today. Some kids get everything they want bc their parents give right into them just bc they think their kid has to be like the others at school. Um, that doesn't teach them a thing except that if they whine loud and long enough they will get what they want.

Taking Control:Updated 1/7
that is pretty disturbing and messed up
Not sure, but he has his birthday set up as 1981, so I'm thinking 11 is probably too young...
Some girl posted on his page today that she loved him and he was her favorite sixth grader. I clicked through to her profile and could see all her pictures, including one of her in a little tank top and shorts; in the caption, she writes how she looks "stripperish" how "that's her future." Why is an 11-year-old even thinking this?! And proud of it?!
It boggles my mind that parents allow their kids to have FB pages AND they don't even research the privacy settings and make sure these pictures aren't open to the public. SCARY.

OMG, seriously? That is "effed" up dude. There are lots of irresponsible and morally questionable people out there having babies. I don't have kids so I can't understand the difficulties of raising them but you'd think some things are just no-brainers.
Yeah, it's totally sad. If she's thinking this at 11, what will she get herself into at 15?? I know 11 was kind of a long time ago for us, but I feel like things were totally different back then. Now I sound old! But seriously, I was still watching cartoons and running around outside.
