Teaching children wrong through TV
I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in entertainment, but I am sure if I screwed it up, someone will fix it for me.
Anyhow, I am watching the family Fear Factor that is on, and in case you aren't, they are having four teams of one child and one parent go against eachother.
Now, normally on the show the contestants are very competitive, talking about the others behind their backs and doing a lot of trash talking. Which is fine, if that is what they want to do.
But on tonight's episode, not only were the parents doing this, but the children were, too. Now, I am going to bring up my children to have respect for others, and to not judge people that way. These children were so competitive, though, that they were talking about how much better they are than the others.
I find this appaling. I think that it is sickening to bring your children up in such a manner that they feel better than everyone else. My children would be shaking hands and wishing them luck.
Now one of the parents is even criticizing the other parent on their parenting skills because he was a "weekend dad."
Am I wrong for being so appaled? Am I being unreasonable? I would like to think that I am not. Please give me your input.
