I work on the same lines as wrx at this stage while my own isn't here. Our 4yr old godson has grown up listening to everything we listen to and quite enjoys dancing away to all the tunes thats more what hes interested in then anything.

When he was about 2 he couldn't say t properly so when he saw a truck it was f.ck which i had told dp about but he didn't process properly until he heard him say it one day. We all swear around him and his little brother and sister, including his parents and he to my knowledge has never used it and if he has has been told it was an inappropriate word for a child to use and probably got a hiding at that.

I personally believe the more sheltered a child is brought up can lead to a more rebellious teenager. DP was brought up extremely christian, parents are pastors and he before we met was into everything, drugs, sleeping with girls from 13 etc. His old churches minister got pregnant out of wedlock and she wouldn't of had any sex talk or anything with her parents, it would have been assumed that it wasn't happening.

I have been raised in quite a liberal house, as soon as dp started staying at my place for a night mum booked me in at doctor to get me on birth control, and yes we are having a child out of wedlock now, but that is 8yrs later and we have been living together on our own for 4 of those years. Am only pregnant because I forgot to get my birth control when he was away whooops but we were wanting it. So I think it all comes down to the person you are and not controlling your kids too much.

I personally grew up listening to the beetles as mum and dad were 35 when they had their first kid so definitely their generation, and come on lucy in the sky with diamonds, everyone knows what that is.

You spin me right round the old version was a fav of mine for awhile and i think the new version is good too. The way i see it is that they are just songs and unless you explain what some of the songs mean to your children you'll prolly find they have no idea what they mean they just like the tune and i dont see any harm in that. When it comes to swear words and dirty words josh will grow up knowing them and mostly what they mean but told not to use them in some situations or around certain people. Most kids only use them or like those songs because their parents bring them up thinking its naughty or taboo etc which just creates an attraction to them IMHO. I know as a kid my fav song was who the f**k is alice mostly because it said f**k and i was told it was a naughty word.

Totally agree. My kids have always heard all the song I listen too. They dont really understand the lyrics even when they can sing them word for word (alize can sing PUSH by Enrique) . I have never had any bag language problems and my 13year old is a very polite, intelligent teenager. She now hates most of my music esp eminem as her prefernce is hiphop (althou her fave song was superman when she was younger lol).

I think its great when parents want to keep them away from all the nasties in society including all the over sexual and violent context in songs, movies, magazines etc. But reality is parenting comes down to the basic princples of what sort of kids we are bringing up. So if your kids are brought up in a loving, supportive and nuturing environment they are not going to turn into numphoes at 12yrs listening to Britany or murders listening to Eminem.

I dont think you are bad if you dont like your kids listening to bad lyrics either just like I dont think your bad if your do. JMHO lol

Ohhhhhhh *penny drops* I have heard that song many times and was shocked! I thought the things Britney can get away with these days....

Now I get it - not that that makes it any better!

I think the music out there is pretty shocking, even if they dont understand what it means its better not to have it out there at all. I hardly ever listen to the radio, mainly CD's and daddys music at home.

Eww, I haven't heard that song and I don't think I want to

Babe - it took me a while too...say the words slowly, looking away from the PC screen...you will see they 'spell' a swear work that is slang for BD...(hope that helps!)

Lizzle, I'm with you on the 'go down' song...how is that OK???
