His father and I had not seen the movie but all his friends had seen it. We took it for granted that if his friends had seen the movie then it would be an appropriate movie. We assumed his friend's parents would not allow them to see something that was not age appropriate. We were wrong! The movie was so raunchy it shocked me...a sexually experienced adult. That was the day I started worrying about what my children learned when not at home. We have to be vigilant and we can never take it for granted that our children's friends are being raised with the same values we wish to teach. .-= Cathy´s last blog ..<a href="http://divorcedwomenonline.com/2009/08/749/" rel="nofollow">Why I Like To Date Divorced Men</a> =-.
