What, they don't make "off" buttons any more? When Alice is in the car, we listen to a CD in the morning, as it's either filth or hate. Moving Stern to Sirius won't change that here, he doesn't even get played here.
As a parent, it's my responsibility to filter what gets into my kid's head. She came home from school today and asked me what chronic masturbation is, an eighth grader used the phrase to insult another eighth grader. After considering the fishing addict lie, I told her the truth, and she was completely and utterly disgusted. "That's what made it such a funny insult to them." I said.
So, should I pull her out of school? I went to private school - Born Again Christian Private School, in fact, and there was a lot more sex and sex talk going on there than at the public school I went back to upon being thrown out. (Halloween, forks, Ozzy, headmaster's lawn, long story.)
No matter what you do, some stuff's gonna get heard by your kid. Fact of life. But I also feel there's things out there a lot more obscene than talk of boobies and farting. Like the Patriot Act. But that's a different thread (and yes, KY, I did read it!)
Your mileage may vary!
