I remember being struck by a scene in True Lies, where Tom Arnold tells Arnie:
You think you have any influence? You and Helen aren't her parents anymore -
Madonna and Axel Rose are her parents - you can't compete with that sort of
constant bombardment.
My daughter wasn't much different in age at the time, and it frightened me. The
reality of course is that it's a combination of responsible parenting and
surrounding culture (and no-one will agree on the proportions) - the problem is
that we have so little control over the input culture provides...
