Good Parenting
Quote From: elffieIt seems to me that you have fallen into the belief that witches are bad. Remember the good witch off of Wizard of Oz? What exactly makes you disgusted? And what was scary? And what was evil? I'm sure your daughter seeing you react to that will only make her feel the same way you do. And please, it's a cartoon, not the end of the world. Today's society has made the witch seem this way and it seems the only time a witch can be seen is on Halloween, all ugly and old. I am not a witch, I do not practice Wicca. I am of the Old Ways and when I see parents always teaching their children that witches are bad or scary or evil it breaks my heart, for a "witch" in the old days was a healer. A midwife. She would help heal people with herbs. Do you think doctors are evil when they are saving lives? These are our modern day witches. Whatever, I guess this could be considered "right to free speech" and if she and others are offended then they have the right to voice this. I personally will not allow my children to have the toy either, just like there will be absolutely no Harry Potter items in my home either. It is all in how we see things. In fact, we don't even celebrate Halloween becasue it only encourages our kids to go to strrrangers and ask for candy and it is about scary and evil, just look at the decorations. My children will never step foot in a haunted house becasue it is redicoulous. My point is, every one of us have our views and opinions and have the right to feel as we do, like some think that Halloween is nothing but fun, I think it needs to be banned, in the same way that this lady is against the with stuff, others might think it is ok, to each their own.
