Happy Father's Day.
Happy Father's Day to my husband from our kids. And angel kisses to my own Dad who is spending his first Father's Day in the summerlands.

Controversial singers.......
.......are always guaranteed to clog up our news. But blaming them for the sexualisation of children is quite wrong. When I was a teenager Madonna was busy shocking the world with her antics and censorship was slapped on just about everything she did.
Rhianna cavorted on stage on the X Factor and whilst I don't know the ins and outs of that, mainly because I have no desire to watch the programme, I do know that someone should have realised what her act was like and warned her that her act would be broadcast pre watershed. Surely that was only common sense, was it not?
Anyway, sexualisation of children is very wrong but it is our job as parents to boycott such singers and such fashion items that make our children into mini versions of Rhianna and Katie Price etc. Nobody forces us to buy these items and the excuse that the child's friend has such an item is just not good enough, we are the parents of our children and we are responsible for what we allow them to dress like, see on T.V. and try our best to filter what they hear on the radio. Yes, I know it can be very difficult but just because Rhianna is strutting her stuff like an alley cat on the prowl, it doesn't mean we MUST buy our ten year old daughters padded bras, high heeled shoes/boots, skirts that barely cover their bottoms and every goddam thing that is unsuitable. We owe it to our children to let them be children and protect them for as long as we can from adult themes, accessories, clothing etc. There is nothing wrong with our children being children and dressing like children and just because their friend has a bum-skimming skirt or dress doesn't mean we have to cave in and let our young daughter have one too, and then blame the pressures of fitting in, being left and the likes of Rhianna.
Anyway, enough ranting from me. Here is Madonna in an unraunchy video.
