I too am a middle-aged mom of an adopted daughter. I feel your pain about the consequences! My girl is not a TV watcher (a mixed blessing to be sure) but plenty of drama nonetheless! Enjoyed this post. Hello! I too am a middle-aged mom of an adopted daughter. I feel your pain about the consequences!

Now all I have to do is remind her of that time. So your draconian measures will pay off. I hate "Jake and Drosh" as I always manage to call it. And the other teenagery shows. They just aren't funny at all. Take the laugh track out and they would be just plain sad. I once pulled a kid out of soccer for a whole year because she back talked.

Stand firm, mom, your dotter will grow up a much better adjusted young lady if she doesn't see tween twits as her role models. Gah - I used to think the kids on Barney videos were annoying - until my kid started watching that Disney crap on TV. On the plus side- no baton twirling! At least it wasn't a kiddie pageant.

Who knew being the parent was so hard? I have so much more sympathy for what I put my parents through now that I have raised children myself. It doesn't stop when they grow up either. Thinking of you and wishing you the best “You are not her friend, you are her mommy”. Who knew being the parent was so hard?

WE also have the "just because You CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it." We put alot of ephmesis on trust....and after the dissappointed line, we explain how she violated trust...

I'm *so* glad they got over that stupid Hannah Montana. Argh! Can't stand the show *or* the actress. It's good that you stood your ground. It's good that you followed through. It bodes well for the future. :D My boys love ICarly but only tolerate Drake and Josh. I’m *so* glad they got over that stupid Hannah Montana. Argh! Can’t stand the show *or* the actress.
