my sister-in-law signed up my 7 year-old daughter for a karaoke duet This was at a campground over the 4th of July weekend. She signed them up for 'I Kissed A Girl' and when I heard that, I very politely requested that the dj pull it, which she more than gladly did.
My sis in law didn't understand my deal, and I had to remind her that as my daughter's father I do still retain the right to draw the line wherever I see fit.
So am I an overbearing father, or is my sister-in-law on crack? (I'm not actually wondering, most of us in the family know she's a fucking nutjob) |

I dont think its proper for 7 year olds to be singing that song either... Sounds like some crap my sister would pull..

Would be nice to see more parents stand up and set healthy boundries for young ( and all age ) children |

That. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. |

You did the right thing, and it's your right!
By the way, doesn't this emoticon remind you of Genesia?
I think it's cute, and sort of reminds me of her.

I think you did the right thing.
It's really hard though when your child sings along to songs on the radio... I've had issues with my 4 year old singing along to 'Sex on fire' and 'Send a dirty picture to me' (or whatever it's called).
It's all obviously innocent to them, but I don't think it's appropriate.
Btw, i've now taught my son to sing 'My socks are on fire'.

You did the right thing. I would have done the same with my 8 year old. Either that or I would have killed the sister-in-law. Lesser of two evils. Christopher damn! |

I've been plotting it for years.  |

Innapropriate material for that age group without question. I applaud you for your common sense Something I find completely lacking in too many parents out there. You're not supposed to be your kids best friend gatdamn it!! You're THE PARENT!!

She's on crack rocks.
Even if the 7yo doesn't understand the meaning, you might teach her a thing about what is appropriate for her age, and save her some embarrassment. |
