As parents, I feel we have the responsibility to inform our kids on all aspects and ways of life. Kids being informed about the dangers and dislikes of society will better deal with the situations when or if they arise. Let's face it, we living in bad times, in a sick society that doesn't protect our kids like they protect the perverts that commit such acts when and if they are imprisoned.
Having 2 girls I know the kind of women I want my daughters to be. I expect them to be young girls and as adults young ladies. I want them to love their femininity as girls do. Like wear make-up and dress pretty. I don't want them to be overwhelmed with what society throws at them. I know all the Disney Princess movies turn out in marriage, and I don't feel that's a bad thing but I also want them to know that if it doesn't happen like they see it on a movie doesn't mean they aren't worthy of a perfect life. I want my daughters to know that love and family are the most important feelings to deal with and understand in life.
Growing up with just my mother as a guardian, father nowhere to be found, I turned out just fine. I want to be there for everything in my kids lives because even though I made it without my father I still wished I had that male role model in my life. Kids need both a male and a female roll model. My mother who is so strong and independent, a lady in all ways is the role model I want for my daughters. Her values I will instill in them so they can learn to be confident, but also know that beauty alone is not the key to get you through life, but that it is the key to self awareness and respect.
