Does any one see what I see in this picture???

I was shopping online today at Gapkids because they are having a 30% off sale, and this is what I came across....You know we wonder today as a society why are little innocent kids are more and more becoming less and less innocent at a younger and younger age?? Are are we really wondering, or do we know why and decide to turn a blind eye to the problem?? Why do we as the parents encourage them to look and act like teenagers by the age of 6? We need to wake up as parents, because we are the adults right?? They follow our example. When we as mothers are so concerned over how we look, and what we wear our daughters see that and want to be like us. As a nation we seem to be over obsessed with fashion and sex appeal, but I know this is not news to any of us. Just have a look at all the "reality"shows on T.V. or all of the other sleazy t.v. shows on, that we as Latter Days Saints watch? We cannot afford to be watching this crap, parents or not. We cannot watch these shows, and read magazines that are all about a life that is not real, and focused on people who do not share our same values and expect to be untouched or unharmed by this behavior right? Or am I wrong?  Am I over reacting?? I tend to to this at times I know. I am sorry to offend anyone who reads this I just have to vent a little because when I saw this picture, so many thoughts flooded my little brain that I had to put them down in writing... And being the mother of 2 girls, soon to be 3 I can't help but worry, especially when since I became a mother worrying became my middle name. Man.....3 girls heaven help me:) I want them to be little and innocent and act age appropriate, soon enough they will be teenagers.  I am in no hurry to rush that, especially if they act anything like I did as a teenager, Nathan and I are in for a lot of trouble:).


On a lighter note I am so GLAD that fall is starting to show it's face! Last night felt like a fall evening... Our leaves are starting to really fall and scatter all over the lawn, and I LOVE it! ;)

Oh man, you took the words right out of my mouth. If you're overreacting, then so am I. :) And yeah, that picture is ridiculous - they look like a bunch of teenagers. I'm terrified to raise kids in this crazy world - Lance and I will definitely have our work cut out for us.

I agree with you. Scary stuff. It makes me not want to have kids or never let them leave or turn on the TV! I am not one to talk though... I watch plenty of crap. I need to be careful. I'm sure your babies will be just fine. You're great concerned parents! You're not over reacting BTW...
