I don't want that at all for my children. <br />I feel today's children are too vulnerable and pushed into that adult world just way too earlySarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044321710957597388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161774480140198164.post-89862700794422586992012-09-03T09:05:13.290+10:002012-09-03T09:05:13.290+10:00Nope.
