All the other posters were pretty eloquent and I think you got the message… Parents really do care. Some do not express their caring well, but in their heart of hearts they really all want the best way of life for their kids.
I just want to add that for many of us parents who did not grow up so “to the right” and maybe had tv’s at home, or watched a movie now and then, and then tried to convince their children that their lives were so much better without these “evils”… well, I sympathize with the kids who can’t quite figure out how what was accepted in frum circles a mere generation ago gets you thrown out of Yeshiva now. The frum oilam has taken quite a leap – a very necessary one, I might add, but I’m old and I understand why I don’t have a tv! There needs to be a kosher outlet for kids that can compete with what they feel they’re lacking. Any ideas?
