I have learned to bite my tongue if I am watching cartoons with my kids. I swear I think Nickelodeon is purposely trying to make my children dumber. A few days ago I was sitting down to watch some random television with the girls, and the first one is Spongebob Squarepants.
I really am fine with him living in a pineapple under the sea...and all of his lighthearted adventures. What I don't get was how was he visiting a beach with water? Isn't he under the sea already? After I pointed this out to Regan my 12 yr old, she proceeded to roll her eyes, and say" Mom, you don't have to ruin it for everyone"! Ok, point taken, well I tried to watch another show just to be sure and it was called Barnyard or something to that effect
This barnyard show I was fine with talking animals, and their silly antics. When it hit me that the main character cows who were all male....Had Udders! Ok, it is not like I really wanted anatomically correct bulls on my TV just to make a point, but couldn't they have just left that off completely? We live in the country, and my girls know that cows and bulls are built differently, but does everyone who watches the show know that? I think I have just had enough of that channel. My girls already don't watch Cartoon Network, because of some of their questionable shows, and now I want to add Nickelodeon to the list too. At this point I asked the girls to put it on Disney or turn it off (they of course just changed the channel).
