[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The assless chaps aren’t my problem. It’s explaining shirtless men who’ve had breasts removed and are wearing pasties but who look different enough that my kid would ask a ton of questions. Or explaining myriad shirts with sexual content about orgasms or oral sex or the simulated sex and bending over shaking and spanking butts. I love pride, but once my kids got to be about 6 we took a break. I’ll take them back when we can have more frank conversations about this stuff around 13 or so. FWIW I’m no prude. I always used appropriate language for body parts, told my kid where babies come from as soon as they asked, etc. [/quote]

I don’t know what parade you’re going to but I’ve not see any of this at the DuPont area parade and I’ve taken my kids for the last 5 years.  And even if I did, you get kids won’t get what they’re doing and your older kids probably look at worse on YouTube.  I’m not a “wild” person at all and always found the parade to be a loving family friendly event.[/quote]
I went with a friend this year near 16 and P. I saw all these things. As I said, once my kids turned 6 and could read and catch on to certain things we are on a break. My kids are 8 and 10. They don’t go on YouTube. It’s loving and wonderful but my kids don’t need to see adult sexuality on full display until they have at least gone through puberty. [/quote]
