solve this moral dilemma?

Question

A wife gets a v chip for a TV. when the husband gets home he wants to watch something not so bad but is blocked. he notices the v chip and kindly ask for the code. but she want give to him in fear that the kids will end up watching. the show is rated pg13 {just in case your wondering.}. what should be done and who's side are you on. just wanted to see what people thought of this situation. not a real one. just one I've been kicking around in my head.

Answer 1

Sounds deeper than just a v chip...lack of trust...fear...lack of confidence in how she is raising the children...insecurity. She needs quality time with husband. In other words COMMUNICATE,COMMUNICATE,COMMUNICATE.

Answer 2

The wife is wrong. The kids can go to another room or outside. Our kids have their own TV with no cable, but they have around 500 videos that they can watch! V-chips suck anyway, my kids would figure that out in two days!! One parent I know thought he was safe with the parental code, but his kids noticed the prints on the remote after he put the code in while eating popcorn. Luckily his son has a big mouth;)

Besides, one day those kids will be grown and gone. Seems to me the wife would want to have a good relationship with her husband, seeing as he will be the only one left!!

Answer 3

A funny thing happens when your an adult, you have to do things you don't want to do. One of those things is removing all sources of adult materials. By protecting your children from adult entertainment, you give them a chance to grow up in a healthy environment. There is no question about it. All parents want the best future for their kids. If you make a mistake and your young child gets a hold of adult materials. There is a chance that it will confuse them or worse. Why take that chance ? A picture of a naked lady is nothing. Children understand naked. Making naked into sexual is not for kids. They need to mature and connect with the opposite sex. Not connect with an image of a stranger being intimate. For an adult, sexuality isn't weird or bazaar, because they understand the big picture. Kids don't, so good parents do all they can to create a safe healthy home. Dad can watch adult stuff when the kids are older.
It's not a matter of sides, it's a matter of protecting your children from things they shouldn't see, until their older.

Answer 4

I think the Husband should watch it when the kids are asleep. If the show comes on at night that is. If it doesn't maybe sometime when the kids aren't around? If that isn't possible then if the kids come in while the husband is watching it he should either make the kids leave the room or turn it off.

Answer 5

The issue here isn't the v-chip. The problem is that the wife does not trust the husband. Has he given the children inappropriate things to watch in the past? Is he an inattentive parent?

Answer 6

Obviously watching adult programming is for the adults. Why did the husband not know about this V-chip would be my question. Idealically they would have put it in together for the kids' benefit and both would know the code, right? Some sort of communication needs to happen, right away. Date night!!! Best wishes!

Answer 7

The husband should be on a level playing field with the wife. IF he don't have the code for the v chip, something is wrong.

Answer 8

Both husband and wife need to share in the v-chip, this is a lack of communication moment. If she is afraid he will let the kids watch things, just have her talk to him about it to be sure.

Answer 9

Kids always have a way of finding out. Me and my brother cracked my parent's security code in like, 3 weeks, we just always snooped over my mom or dad's shoulder and eventually one of us caught what she put in. It was about 4 years ago, and we watched all the R-rated goodness we wanted, plus some obscene things I am sure my brother watched. You can't keep kids out of it and I doubt that it makes any sort of difference, kids just watch it at a friend's house or sneak into movies to see it, believe me. The more borders and opression parents put up the more sneaky children get, I just got out of my teens so I know the ins and outs.

So you win, in a way.

Answer 10

Just give him the code and let him over ride the V chip when he watches tv.

Answer 11

in my view it will be incorrect to torture his spouse, absolutely. As for him although....i'm no longer effective. very reliable question. i'd say in this project, if all of us understand for a undeniable truth that he planted the bombs and that different individuals's lives are at stake, that's justifiable. it really is equivalent to a conflict project. as an example you've been a soldier in Iraq. you spot a small baby coming in the route of you yet you understand he has a bomb strapped to him and that the enemy has despatched him into your camp. Many lives are at stake and also you've were given a decision to make. Kill him the position he's so as that the explosion does no longer damage your fellow comrades or let the boy are available in, killing actually everyone in the approach. you would with somewhat of success shoot the baby. Now, i understand that's quite a diverse project, although a similar concept applies. yet another be conscious-- completely inhumane torture in unnecessary. i'd say putting him in a pool and just about drowning him until eventually eventually he talks is a thanks to bypass. i does no longer stand for reducing him up until eventually eventually you may't even tell he's human.
