The way I figure, my wife and I have to do 80 positive acts in front of our kids to offset every 20 negative things they get exposed. That's a lot of effort and it's an uphill battle. But if we don't, no one else will. I figure the old, handy dandy 80/20 rule applies.

Children should be protected from things that are to mature and adult for them. They deserve the chance to have a childhood. Just recently I told my husband that even though there are some wonderful memories and experiences from my childhood there are also things I was exposed to by much older siblings that weren't right. It will be different for our little girls. Is the world going to hell? Some days it does appear as if it is and then there are those everyday moments when your child smiles at you and takes her first steps and the sun is shining and the trees blossoming and the world seems absolutely perfect. I think every generation has its historical traumas and issues. We might think that there were more innocent days in the past but I don't believe that was the case. Some things just weren't talked about way back when. Human nature is what it is. People choose to do good and to be kind, and some choose to do otherwise. The optimist in me continues to hope.
