Tv or not Tv

So I started watching TV for the first time in a while. I started watching it again since I tried desperate housewives out on netflix (awesome). So next thing I know I turn on the TV and there is this show, Super Nanny. I was rolling on the floor of the stupidity of these people. It was like a cartoon strip. Basically a guy and girl were bored, got married and were like. "hmmm maybe we should have a baby?" Next thing you know it's BABYMANIA!!!! and then they realize, "Gosh deary me, I don't know a bloody thing about kids." One woman was like I just found out that if I talk to my son, he will talk back. I didn't know he could do this. Then the advice that I thought was AmAzing was the part telling people that if the phones rings while they are with the kids, pick up and tell them you will call them back. I couldn't believe they made a show to tell people such commen sense messages. This got me wondering, what happens when those people's kids grow up? If they are social kids they will probably raise their kids into rebellious troublemakers (bullies on the school playground) And if they grow up shy, they will not realize they have to feed their own kids or do anything to them. It will be like a young geriatric home. Honestly I am all about the play with the kids and if they act up to the point when these parents are, "Out of ideas and I have tried everything, I don't know what to do" I say beat the kids, don't reward them for doing something that they just expect a reward for always. So my lesson was to refrain from watching TV. I think I am going to start an ad campaign because of this event, National Flailing Arms Campaign, beating sense into children across America, one kid at a time.
