[quote=Anonymous]Specifically there’s a YouTube. Video w someone singing about Jared from Subway. It’s “a joke” about child molestation. son wanted to show me and I said I didn’t want to see, it’s inappropriate and hurtful. So he came back a few mins later singing the song. He was trying to get me to laugh.

I hate, hate, hate the meme, you tube prank culture. And yes, I hate music that is misogynistic.

The irony is he tells me stories of what kids are talking about at school. Lots of perverted stuff they watch on internet. He tells me how uncomfortable he feels. But then say at home he can be free to, basically be like them. Last night he acknowledged the hypocrisy.

I try for this to be teachable moments but quite honestly, I’m doing a terrible job. Getting angry and punishment feels good for a nano second. It doesn’t work.

Our kids are exposed to way too much. And I’m a parent who has a tight grip on electronics & internet. But I can’t control the phone of his friends. And they are “good” Kids from “good” families.
