[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok call me smug or whatever but I am hoping to be able to keep my now 7 mos old boy away from commercialized characters as much as possible. (Although I think the male characters aren't as bad as the girls -- the female characters have impossible body shapes and beauty.) I suppose Dora is different...not sure bc my last encounter with baby world was pre-Dora

but disney characters, female superheroes, all pinched waists and ridiculous beauty. eff that.

not sure yet what to replace it with, however![/quote]

:shock:
Umm, your child is only 7 MONTHS old!!  Come back and talk to us when he's seven YEARS old!!!!  [/quote]

LOL!  Seriously, good luck with that!!![/quote]

Not the PP but if you don't own a TV, I think the chances that your kid won't recognize a TV character at a birthday party are pretty high. We don't have one because if we did, DH & I would never talk; once it's on, we just zone out of everything else, which clearly not everyone experiences but for those of us who do, it's not some mommy crusade, it's just a lifestyle choice. PP could very well raise her child without TV. It's not that crazy of an idea IMO. [/quote]

I call bullshit.  For a kid in school, even preschool, you're going to get bday party invitations, go to b-day parties, see lunchboxes, backpacks, be exposed to some character books, see the murals in the doctor's offices, see ads in stores and on billboards . . . unless you live in a cave, your kid WILL be exposed to some characters.  I'd even go so far as to say a LOT of the characters.  My DD comes home talking about all sorts of characters that we never watch/read/play.  It will happen.  It will.[/quote]
