I would imagine there are multiple opportunities for teachable moments during Jersey Shore. Thankfully, I don't believe Parenthood has sunk to that level yet. And since we live with a child who should probably consider a career in professional wrestling, I'm afraid to let her watch for fear she'll pick up some new moves. Maybe I need to check out Women Kicking Rear myself.<br /><br />Teresa - my mother was a big believer in "role play" teaching. I can't tell you how many times my brother and I would come down for breakfast, bleary-eyed and tired, and she would hand us our waffles and then say, "OK. You're at a party and someone offers you pot. What are you going to do?" Maybe not the best breakfast conversation but we were definitely prepared!AlongCameTheBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590432394118183751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-84923767665067116622011-05-02T16:38:58.998-05:002011-05-02T16:38:58.998-05:00We watch a lot of wrestling with our kids.

Although, just because I'm a preacher's daughter don't run out and buy seasons 1-12 of "Women Kicking Rear," on DVD. Or do.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16205369560949760780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-32425629598723194762011-05-02T14:06:35.054-05:002011-05-02T14:06:35.054-05:00At least your girls won't be surprised at how ...At least your girls won't be surprised at how you would handle certain situations. I think it is great you are using this show to grab teachable moments before things get out of hand. Gives your girls greater insights as to how you and Ryan will react about certain things. Some of us wish we could have done the same things when our own children were younger...it would have saved a lot of heartache later.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053125490035682358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-27284023628691746222011-05-02T12:39:21.298-05:002011-05-02T12:39:21.298-05:00Yeah, we find lots of teachable moments watching T...Yeah, we find lots of teachable moments watching The Jersey Shore with our pre-schooler.
