FEATHERING OUR NESTS: O-MAMA’s Perspective on SPRING CLEANING

Spring is in the air.  The birds and the bees are flitting around doing their thing…nature abounds.  The birds are feathering their nests and laying their eggs, while the bees are busy pollinating every flower in the garden.  The air is crisp and clean.  Chirping and buzzing fills the air.

Everything seems fresh and new.  So, let’s take a new look at Spring, shall we? The first thing that comes to mind is cleaning. Ugggh.  But, let's talk about the birds and the bees instead...the part of the story that happens...

GLEE-WIZ: Glee Kids Go Sexy
Photo GQ

GQ’s cover features “Glee” stars in sexy attire and in a sexy pose.  The actor in the shot, Cory Monteith, has his hands on the girls’ buns.  These kids are on a program rated TV 14, and the photo is sparking controversy over the actors’ public images, and the impact they might have on their young fans.

MOMism: “Keep your hands to yourself.”  When our kids are sitting at the kitchen table or the back of the car, we tell them to keep their hands to themselves.  It's just an invitation for trouble, no matter how innocent it starts, it always turns into a thing that ends in "mom, jimmy is bugging me."  Because kids push...and push...and push until they get a reaction.

In the grander scheme of things, kids are pushing the envelope trying to get each other's attention and ours.  But, when do we say enough?  Your behavior isn't appropriate, especially when you have a tween audience.  How about when our kids reach for the TV clicker, MAMAS will take matters into our own hands?

    Okay, so we don't watch Glee because my children are under 10 BUT I have a lot of gals in the youth group at church that love this show and quite frankly if you don't want to be their role models find another line of work. That said, yes they are adults BUT on the other hand their photo shoot is INTENDED to make them look like school age children. They're in a school-like enviornment, wearing school "uniforms" and looking all "schoolish"...they are sexing up high school and quite frankly I think high school is sexed up enough...

    Gee whiz is right. For my kids, no GLEE. It's programming for high schoolers to watch with their parents and discuss the issues, not for kids or tweens! The actors are adults playing kids, which is a little disturbing if you want to keep your kids acting like kids, for as long as possible?!
