My Husband Doesn’t Satisfy Me Sexually, Our Kids Not His – Wife / ‘she Holds Vigil Any Night I Demand For Sex; Says Our Kids Are Not Mine’ / My Wife Absconded With Our Kids (2) (3) (4)
Our Kids Have Gone Sexy by blanco56(m): 5:36pm On Nov 08, 2015 |
Few weeks ago, I was at the local airport and as I waited in
the departure lounge, I noticed there were many children
roaming about but it was understandable since it was
summer holiday.
One other thing I noticed was the way most of the children
were dressed. Most of them, especially the girls, were
dressed in bum shorts, halter necks, cut off jeans, etc. The
clothes in themselves weren't the issue per se; it was the
overall look of the children that had me bothered. That was
definitely not the first time I noticed it.
A few months before, I had taken my kids to a birthday party
and found myself in what could easily have been a night
club for kids. Scanty clothing such as tight or very short
clothes, bum shorts, long weaves, etc, seemed to be the
dress code. I noticed my son glancing around, probably
wondering, "What in God's world are these other children
wearing?" Or something like that.
Not long after, the kids were called out to dance to the hit
songs of the season - these songs in my opinion should be
rated PG 16. 4 - 6 year olds trooped to the dance floor,
miming the sexually explicit songs and gyrating their bodies
in the most sensual manner.
They could have given Beyonce a run for her money. They
ran their hands over their bodies, shook their booties hard
while their parents cheered them on. The boys had their
upper shirts unbuttoned and rapped along perfectly to
gangsta raps while doing flawless break dance.
Those who danced like actual children where shooed off the
dance floor while the lewd ones were cheered on. As I
watched, my child stared out of this circle looking longingly
at the others dancing. I knew it was time to leave.
As we left, we went to an eatery where I bought them ice
cream and gently explained to them the concept of decency
and dancing with decorum.
Another time, at a game arcade for kids, I ran
into a lady who had made-up her kids' faces like they were
mannequins for Tara or Mac beauty products. Their skirts
were so tight, that running up and down the slide was
uncomfortable for them.
So the question is, why are we sexualizing our kids? Why
does your 4, 6 or 9 year old girl have to look like a chick?
Why does she have to be hot or sexy? Should your 8 year old
son go around with a comb in his hair and his pants sagged
almost to his ankles?
If your child wears bum shorts out of the house at age 3,
why should she
be expected to wear longer ones at 15? If she wears 2 rings
and 12 bangles at 6, why won't she pierce a second ear hole
at 17 and her bellybutton at 19? Why won't your son pierce
his own ear at 15?
Are you setting your children up to be immodest and
indecent? What trend are you starting them on? That all
these are fashionable or trendy doesn't mean it's ok. What
happened to children wearing dresses.
Children can look very nice and decent, they can be well
covered and still look good.
In this age, when children are being abused. Is it wise to
make your child an object of anyone's sexual attention?
When I hear some children belt out sexually explicit lyrics, I
ask myself how they became exposed to this songs!
As a parent, you can't play the CD of such songs and not
expect your children to pick them up; the same goes for
watching Mtv Base, Channel O, etc with your children.
Studies have shown that children exposed to a high level of
sexually explicit information tend to become sexually active
early. Is that your goal as a parent?
Being a parent involves sacrifice. You will need to avoid
listening to such music where your children are. Most of
those lyrics demean women and teach your daughter that
she's just a intimacy gadget and her body is for squeezing. It teaches
the boys that money is everything and women are things to
be used to satisfy their primal urges. These music introduces
them to a degrading pop culture.
Our children have their lives ahead of them, let's set them
on the right path by teaching them to dress ecently and sing
nice or age-appropriate songs. Let your children be children.
Train up a child in the way that s/he should go and when s/
he is old, s/he would not depart from it.
Do you agree that children are unnecessarily exposed to
sexually explicit elements? Is it possible that some parents
are victims themselves or is it that they don't know any
better? 1 Like 1 Share |

This really bothers me they call it "civilisation" or whatever. Buh y won't it happen when the parents lack morals themselves, when they speak vulgar in the midst of their children. I pray God help us, if he wills. |

Seriously,this issue is depressing. I've seen my own share of this madness oh,even tried talking to a friend about. Most people think dressing your kids in skimpy dresses and heels mean they're civilised and ajebo(ish). I play dress up with my daughter every sunday,we wear special costumes,do our make-up,take pictures then wash the make-up of. I don't think its cool,letting little girls wear make-up outside with the aim of being hot. |
