[QUOTE="keista, post: 434381, member: 11965"] I don't consider that overstrict. I consider it a lifestyle, and as parents you are free to chose the lifestyle you want. I have friends who have dragged their kids to 3rd world countries for 2-3 years at a clip for their work. Others who take their kids hiking or skiing in the Swiss Alps every other weekend. Friends of friends who lived on a boat for 4 years. These are extremes, yes, but the kids are all doing well, and no one is calling the parents "overly strict" for denying cartoons or whatever. This kind of adaptation can also be seen in impoverished areas where a 5 y/o "has to" babysit a 3 y/o and actually does a good job of it - sad, but it does happen. The point is, kids GENERALLY adapt to whatever the parental lifestyle is, that is, unless the kid is a difficult child. I could never live like you do, but I do NOT think you are being strict - just living the lifestyle you choose. As far as your concerns of him being molested, if you haven't already, you need to open lines of communication about sex in general. You can bring in the porn issue in as well. Discuss it with husband to decide what specific context you want to put it in, but in a nutshell, that sex is an act of love between two ppl who care about each other and only want to make each other's lives better. in my opinion Marg did this brilliantly! This can also lead to the "good touching, bad touching" discussions and that he is still a kid so if anyone "talks him into" such things you'll support him. (molesters can be very manipulative and make a kid think they consented) Also, you and husband can ask therapist if any indication of molestation has been revealed. However, if it had, I would assume that therapist would have been required to report it already. [/QUOTE]
