With the older kids having access to computers it's inevitable that the younger ones will get more exposure. While Jeff and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary the kids watched a Little House on youtube. Now, I know that LHOP has been a family show, but one of the things we dislike in shows, books, and such is when kids act up, behave foolishly and in the end everything all turns out fine. It just doesn't make sense to us because it's so far from real life.
It only takes one viewing for kids to have things engraved in their minds forever. We experienced it years ago with the older kids. We were at a cabin with cable and watched a LHOP episode. Naughty kids were jumping on the bed and when told to stop they stopped. And then as soon as characters called parents left they resumed jumping. When caught again their response was, "You didn't say forever!" So that was a popular line for some time.
Not wanting to go through this all again with the younger ones, Jeff declared no more youtube videos. Ben's response after seeing possibly 20 of them in his entire life was, "That's okay, I've seen most of them already!"
