What Constant Surveillance Is Doing to Children

Here's another one for ya: we also forbade them from watching Barbie. They are, to this day, pissed about that hahaha.

And recently they confessed that they sneakily watched once in a while. :-D

So they got the boundary. Found it to be unjust. Tested it. Crossed it. Got away with it. Grew from that. All without having to steal lipstick, smoke joints, or drink themselves into a coma.

Honestly: wife and I are awesome at parenting.

I'm pretty sure you mean some Barbie show? Apparently that's a thing that exists. Because Barbie is a great movie, although I'm not sure what to recommend about the maturity level required to understand -- it seems that many many fully grown adults have not reached that level. (Ken will be okay. The movie isn't about Ken. It's okay to have a movie not be about Ken. Do not conclude that the movie is saying that all men are vapid losers because the movie portrays vapid men.)
