    Should I let my thirteen-year-old daughter listen to Lady Gaga?...

    I totally agree with you Shiroi Tora: my daughter needs her mother and I to shield her from things that she is not ready for yet :jimlad:

    Should I let my thirteen-year-old daughter listen to Lady Gaga?...

    I will certainly teach my daugther about paradigms and weltanschaltnung, so that they can understand why Gaga isn't okay. Then again, simply expressing my possibly acceptable, possibly illogical views and asking her to tolerate them does to me not seem like the ideal solution - "what about the...

    Should I let my thirteen-year-old daughter listen to Lady Gaga?...

    I did not mean to make this into a discussion about "christian parenting" vs "other parenting", and while I have shared some of my background so that you can better understand how I feel about the situation. I don't think I have turned this into a religious discussion; everyone (included myself)...

    Should I let my thirteen-year-old daughter listen to Lady Gaga?...

    IADad: I also agree with ResponsibleDad's response. There are different approaches to parenting, and I understand that mine leaves a bit to be desired. When it comes to the biblical context of that song, I believe any song implicitly featuring Pontius Pilatus, crucifixation and Jesus does...

    Should I let my thirteen-year-old daughter listen to Lady Gaga?...

    Dear all, Thank you for all your replies. I did some research and tried to find songs that would be suitable for my daughter. Considering her young age, there aren't too many, but I think I'm close to finding a few songs that we might listen to together as a family. I avoid the songs with...

    Physically unable to conceive...

    I thought it said 'abortion', sorry about the confusion that I may have caused! I'm not very used to these forums and it is easy to get lost in the discussions. Again, please accept my apologizes, including to those who think abortions are good. I did not want to offend anyone! Patrick

    Should I let my thirteen-year-old daughter listen to Lady Gaga?...

    If this is a battle, I fear that it will be a long one. I cannot let her win; I don't want to lose my authority as a father. How should I draw the line without making it the Line of Rubicon? I hope that we get to find time for one another, me, my wife Cynthia and Sarah (13). It would be a good...

    Hi fellow parents, My name is Patrick and together with my wife, Cynthia (also on this forum), I try to give my children a good upbringing. We all go things together several times a week, like church events, and I feel that everything is going well. Unfortunately, an issue has come up that...

    Single parents, dating, time and guilt......

    Sometimes you just have to let the women in your life go. It might be fun, but when you return to your daily life and your schedule you realize that sometimes you have to make different prioritations. After I stopped going out, "dating" if you want, women, I suddenly had a lot more time for my...
