It's sad
I find it so disturbing, and well I found it disturbing prior to having a baby but now that I have a little girl who is going to grow up in this world, in this time... I find it so sick and sad all this crap in the news going on right now about noos-es and swa-stika's (put the "-" in so i don't get picked up by spam bots). I mean wtf is going on in this country right now? I don't remember this crap going on when I was in Highschool, maybe I just wasn't watching enough news but it seems seriously screwed up to me.

I'm glad I don't watch the news. I get disturbed enough with commercials.

i hear you, i look at the innocence of my boys and vow to try to shield their lives from the ugly...try to is all we can. and we can teach them the goodness we all harbor and how to find it and bring it. we have to now, don't we? we are mamas. and i turn off the news, it never tells the real truth, not even the weather. take care of your precious, she is amazing. i think my boys would fall for her in a heartbeat.

I can't watch the news anymore - hurts too bad and scares the crap out of me! All I can hope is that I am a good mom and my little guy grows up to love and care for others. Oh and watch out for 'Save the Children' commercials - they will leave you crying for days on end.

it's one of the hardest things about being a parent is realising what a crap world you have brought your children into. i try to shut myself off from it - try and make each day happy from them. i realise it's important to know a bit about what is going on in the world, but these day tv, radio, newspapers are filled with horrible stuff and they thrive on it - drawing things out to the fullest. i've taken to just listening to the local reliable radio which gives me the news and not all the crap. then i get out of bed and try and make the day great for us all :) and lets face it - there are good things in the world too - they just sometimes get overshadowed by the negative.
at least Sydney has a mum and dad who loves her, very, very much!
cheers

ps i hope i didn't sound too abrupt - sometimes i am. its just that i know exactly how you are feeling as julian was born on 9/11/01 - the day the world changed forever and i remember sitting in hospital, holding him, thinking 'what kind of world have i brought him into?' But it's been okay - his life so far has been good :)

I have enough anxiety and depression in my life, that the last thing I need is "The News."
I have to know some of the stuff going on... being a small business owner I need to relate to the things going on... so I read yahoo headlines and visit comcast headlines. If something I see is sad... I mention how sad such and such is... but leave it at that. Otherwise, Im all about Britney Spears and her drama. Anyone's but mine... seriously!
:o)

I agree wholeheartedly. I often wonder if it was all around when I was growing up or if it was just that my mom did such a good job shielding it from me.
Either way, you can turn it into a learning experience for your children and teach them about how hate isn't ok. Your daughter is lucky to have a mom who is so concerned about what kinds of person she's going to become.

I am sure that generations of parents before us have wondered about the "horrible" world they brought their children into. All that we can do is raise our children to be decent, loving human beings. Teach them not to judge based on skin color, ethnicity, religion, or any of that. Teach them to find the good in everyone and to be the best they possibly can be at whatever they choose to make their life's work.

I think this crap has always been going on. They just weren't reported as much. We just need to love our children and teach them right. I remember right after having my son, I was extra sensitive to everthing around me. I think it had a lot to do with the breastfeeding hormones.
Take care! How are you guys doing? Sidney is gorgeous! You did a great job!
Samantha says;
I hear you. Its sad and sh*tty.
I was pregnant with my oldest son when 9/11 occurred. I had someone (actually several someones) tell me how SORRY they felt for me because I was bringing a new life into a world such as it was (is). My response ... the life I am bringing into the world, and now the three lives I have brought into this world will be here to change it for the good of things ...
