this is a side note but my 13 yo dd told me yesterday that her friend told her that when she grows up she wants to be in playboy. These are the influences our young daughters are being subjected too - and our young sons!

Playboy has been around since the 1950s, the magazine is nothing new. But when we grew up there was no Playboy channel on TV, no idiotic reality show of Hef & his live-in bimbos, etc.this is a side note but my 13 yo dd told me yesterday that her friend told her that when she grows up she wants to be in playboy.

This thread scares the **** OUT OF ME! Thank you for sharing your experiences, Diane...I've got three girls.
Keep us updated on the police situation, I'm curious.
After reading the posts, my husband and I sat with 11 year old DD and discussed these issues. Although she was uncomfortable with the whole subject, I'm glad we did. Thanks for letting everyone know and reminding us of the true "facts of life".
It's definitely crazy!
My 10 year old came home from school this year and told me she learned about pole dancing on the 'firepole' at school - came to find out one of the other students mothers is a stripper - even if you are - do you need to teach your 10 year old how to do it?
Kids got their updated house rules this morning. Can't play outside alone, doors locked at all times, etc - I know it could be soooo much worse - but I HATE this!
You just reminded me I knew a mom who was an "author" :rolleyes:...of erotica. Oh, and if I recall correctly, she was also the President of the PTA at her private school. I've always wondered if that appeared in her bio to the new families.
Why is "author" in quotations. People who write 'erotica' are just as much authors, as anyone else. Also, what does writing adult material for adults, have to do with her being an active part of her children's life/school. Can't wait for the United States to grow up about sex. Won't be holding my breath though.
A place to debate everything and anything!
