[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 114415, member: 45"] I have parental controls set to approve sites difficult child goes to. He can't go to any I haven't approved. I blocked YouTube because there's no way to prevent him from getting to the really bad stuff. He outsmarted me, though. I approved Google for him so he could do searches - I figured he couldn't get to any sites anyway so it was safe. He figured out he could search Google videos and view them. Now Google is no longer approved. My difficult child loves the Simpsons and Family Guy. in my opinion Family is much worse than the Simpsons, and he's never been allowed to watch it. But, he's now banned from Simpsons because he likes to imitate what he thinks is funny. So he can't watch Simpsons until he can control that and not be rude. On the other hand, easy child#1 and easy child#2 can watch those shows and not act out because of it. They are allowed to watch the Simpsons, easy child#1 can watch Family Guy but has no desire to. easy child#2 is still too young for it, in my humble opinion. If difficult child had a MySpace, I'd be checking it daily. easy child#1 has a page and I check every once in awhile (have never found anything I object to). No one can see his page but friends, and he doesn't allow anyone to be his friends that he hasn't met in person. [/QUOTE]
