So true, sad to say.

We are expecting our first, and it will be a major effort to try to keep my child's innocence as long as possible.

Congratulations! The world is in desperate need of well-raised children.

My advice - get rid of the TV and if you let him or her watch movies, be VERY VERY careful and only once in a while. Better if they love games, reading, playing, music, family interaction. And even stay home while one parent does the shopping, as much as possible.

Think of the grocery store lines and the magazines: “Mommy, what’s an orgasm?” “Daddy, what does it mean that man is gay?” “Mommy, why is that girl’s dress coming off?” etc. One grocery store I go to has one (out of several) “family friendly” lanes. Sheesh - the so-called womens’ magazines are unbelievable. If I had young children I wouldn’t want them to see the covers.
