Really, Miley? Really?
Yes, you are beautiful, Miley!
But Goodness, Sweet Miley, you would be just as attractive with a tank top on too. Or a bra. This is just a mom, talking. But I was once young too. I’m not judging, I don’t think… Just call me when your daughter is nine and wondering about herself, in relation to being female or the first time your seven-year-old son asks why you look so different from Beyonce and suggests you grow your hair out a little longer and wear more black.
The up-side of only allowing the kids to watch TV shows involving Mike Rowe or physics (Myth-Busters, both on Netflix) and of killing cable/TV: your kids have no idea who Hannah Montana is.
The down-side of home-schooling: the kids are always with you, so you can’t protect them from images on the cover of Cosmo in the grocery store.
I agree. There are to many singers/actresses that think they need to show body parts to get attention. Showing too much “skin” can be offensive. Distracts from either the song or the movie they are in. Then the parents let thier kids dress and act like those on tv, book covers and such.

Now I will show some skin on a beach… I’m not going to lie. It totally creeps out my kids…

There is nothing sexy about exposing yourself to the world like that. A parents want their daughters to represent these role models, really?

No, I didn’t say she was sexy. I just think all people are beautiful.
I don’t want to be harsh. I’m just remembering when I was young, & what I thought was important, versus what I think now and am trying to teach my kids. So I take them with me everywhere, and then at check-out, BAM!
I’m like, “Hey, kids! Look! Mentos! Want to help me bag the groceries? Look! Look over here, ( not there!)”

Miley is a skank these days! The wear more black comment is hilarious though! Children are usually right! lol

The interesting thing that has happened to me is that my 11 year old now says things like “mommy I like taylor swift because she is a good roll model”. She is not too thrilled with Miley, her choices, her tattoos, and every thing else she picks up from pictures in the checkout. Luckily my 9 year old is too self involved to notice people on magazines, or maybe she looks at them and only imagines it is her own face, I am not sure! It is nice to see when all of this hard work at parenting pays off when you can have that great conversation with your kids about the rights and wrongs, etc and they get it.
Keep up the good work with the mentos!!!
