What My Kids Love Now

I have no kids.

House Rules

There are no rules.

When the Kids Are Asleep…

Everything.

My Biggest Challenge Is:

overcoming the obstacle that is CommonSenseMedia.org. This site has become permeable, allowing careless and biased articles to be submitted. Despite my irritation, the problem lies not with the "reviews" (if one can label them as such). Rather, it comes with the fact that there are REAL parents (yes, tangible and quite mailable) are poring over this site. . .AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY BELIEVING MOST OF WHAT IS SAID!!! How?! Why?! The case studies often described by CommonSense's committee are mere observations (opinions and qualitative data, no real facts, with evidential support!). I from now on deny any and all of CommonSenseMedia's articles until a scrupulous inspection of their "sources" is performed. As I comprehend it, CommonSenseMedia's articles are assuredly pure, outlandish, garbage.

            Common Sense, Yet Again, You are Wrong
