People, including my relatives are usually closed minded and therefore are stunted in their intellectual growth. I merely state that I have banned milk for my children. Next they make inane conclusions that I also do not allow meat for my children and a host of other bans.
I explained. Not so. I ban cow’s milk because we are not cows. Meat are good for my children but I specify organic meats, for fish I specify ocean fish. Of course junk food is banned. And we also buy organic vegetables. I don’t really ban a whole lot of things, just the common junk food and poisons going around.
Then there is the issue of television. We do not own a television. My children are not allowed to watch television. My grandmother’s sister thinks that is too weird and dismisses us outright. That’s fine with me. We can agree to disagree.
My children do not miss television. I do not miss television. We have real family interaction with what little time we have for each other.
