What PMRC was trying to do,I think, was the job that parents SHOULD have been and still shoul be, doing;e.g. being responsible. When my kids were growing up I knew what they were watching on tv and I knew what they were listening to on cd tape or radio. How did I know these things? I was involved with my kids lives and if I didn't approve, it left the house.
Did they ever listen to things that I forbade somewhere else. I'm sure they did. I did when I was a kid.But since they knew WHY I disapproved of certain things, they were and are more apt to listen to me. They knew that I had listened and watched all the things that I forbade and had discussed my reasons with them.
We may have disagreed in the end but I was always involved.With them. Not with my job or my band or with any of my outside interests. With them, first and foremost.
Too many parents take child rearing as a part-time job to be fit in when THEIR schedule permits.
Thats why we had and have things like PMRC.
