Yeah, good luck with that whole "my kids are going to be what I want them to be rather than what they want to be" thing. It rarely works out that way.
I can't help but wonder if BluegrassGuy uses this attitude when searching for that illusive girlfriend he says he will never find...BluegrassGuy, and I mean this sincerely and without rancor, have you ever thought of getting some therapy to find out why you have such low self esteem coupled with such high standards? Just a thought...
Actually, I would not subscribe to cable TV. The TV set would be used primarily as a video screen on the wall. I would be very restrictive on the content that I would allow to be viewed. But rather than electronic entertainment, I would have all my kids spending their free time practicing musical instruments. To me, music is FAR more important and beneficial than sports, video games, or television.

So you've got two options left.. TV and music. If my kids want to be known for something, or have a useful talent, then it would have to be music.
Ahhh, yeah, for their sake, don't have children - lol
