Parenting conflicts
Hey ladies. I don't really posts that often but I read through everything everyday. I would just like a little feedback on this situation. I was driving my daughter's father to drop off his rental car this morning. As soon as get got into my car he changed the radio station to WBLS (they play R&B and Hip Hop). I was listening to Charles Stanley (an evangelist who is part of my morning line up) and was annoyed that he turned the station. So I compromised and put on a jazz station. I then told him that I don't want our daughter to listen to that station because she doesn't need to hear that type of music. (She is 4 yrs old) Then I told him that I heard her singing "Say my name, say my name, you been actin' shady, ain't calllin' me baby" and I don't want her going around singing those types of songs. He proceeded to argue with me saying that I am depriving her of her culture (because I only let her listen to certain R&B songs, Disney, jazz and gospel). He also claimed that she is only going to hear it in the street anyway. He doesn't seem to understand that I want to preserve her innocence as long as possible. I have no problem with her listening to songs about love just as long as it is not about making love or anything else with sexual messages. I know I am right but I have been running this conversation in my head all day. I just want to know what you ladies had to say about this.
