ZionWoman Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hey there all you parents of little ones. Just a quick question, when you have a car/van/wagon/bus load of kids, what do you listen to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honor Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Depends on how young you're talking about but I'm all about stuff from the Brite Music company. Of course I don't find it annoying because it's songs I listened to when I was a kid so I'm singing along louder than my son, but it's good stuff!

Alaskagain Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Not that often that we have a car full of kids. Mostly, I listen to conference tapes, MoTab, and conservative talk radio. We are old and boring. That is what I listen to. But sometimes what I hear is screeching brakes, and horns honking. Depends on who is driving.

ZionWoman Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 When my kids are in the car, I like to listen to some of their favorites but honestly, I can't do it all the time. Sometimes I drive as a break from the day. I take the kids with me because I have to. During these trips, I like to listen to talk radio. Currents events, news and stuff. Is that wrong? Should I not expose my 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkerboy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I try to indoctrinate them as completely as I can so that means large doses of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly just to balance things out. There is never anything good on FM stations these days, just screaming or bubblegum pop. So I also expose them to the greatest genre of music ever known to man, that's right 80's alternative.... You know what I'm talking about!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynancy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Currently? Queen's Greatest Hits. My second grader does a mean Bohemian Rhapsody.Radio: NPR....so as to indoctrinate the kids properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenamarie Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Currently? Queen's Greatest Hits. My second grader does a mean Bohemian Rhapsody.Radio: NPR....so as to indoctrinate the kids properly.You know every piece of music you put in the player eventually turns into "Queen's Greatest Hits"?(Brownie Poitns to anyone who gets that )NPR if we're listening to the radio, if we're listening to CD's it's a grab-bag. Erasure, Mika (who's songs might as well be on a kids' CD! My kids love the Lollipop song!), Enya, Sting, LOTR's soundtracks, CARS sound track, and a variety of Christmas music.

NeuroTypical Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 AM talk radio until they beg "can we listen to music PLEEEEEASE!!!" Then we listen to country - which despite its problems, is the last bastion of moral music around. LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 We often listen to "Kids' Praise" type music, including old CDs from their past Vacation Bible School sessions. Then again, sometimes we expose them to the regular praise music we sing in church, so they are accustomed to it. And, once in a while we play the radio, Spirit 105.3 (Contemporary Christian Music)...which has a "kids' safe" promise to its listeners.

skalenfehl Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I don't have small children. I usually listen to one of three things. The Book of Mormon (to get it done by year's end for other thread), talk radio (I like the Doug Wright show and yes, I listen to Hannity), or the best band in the world, Journey.

pam Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I don't usually listen to anything. I kind of like just the quiet. It's my time to get my thoughts together about different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleDrew Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Our son is not even a year old yet, so as he cannot complain about the type of music played we listen to whatever I like. : D I live in a very small area so our radio reception is terrible. We've got about a dozen country stations, i'd rather bash my head into the dash multiple times before I listened to that. There is ONE modern rock station that used to be fantastic when I was younger, but has turned into total crap. The only talk radio we get is NPR, which I do listen to. So we listen to my iPod. I guess the last thing Eli and I listened to was the Cure. I'm looking into getting a satellite radio installed in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynancy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 We've got about a dozen country stations, i'd rather bash my head into the dash multiple times before I listened to that.When my son was little, he went through a cowboy phase. He would ask if I would put on the country station in the car like Daddy does. For the longest time, "I'm sorry honey, Mommy's car doesn't have that station." actually worked.Too bad for him, I was in a salsa/merengue phase at the time.

Palerider Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I don't have small kids around either....but I listen to Rush Limabugh, and several sports radio shows and all different types of music, everything except for country music...

Guest Alana Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Half the time I have it quiet, the other half I flip around radio stations. I'm going through a techno phase right now, but the kids don't seem to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miztrniceguy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 my radio is usually on 101theFox classic rock, and the cd player currently has Metallica's Load in it. Sometimes I have it on an Easy Listening station if the kids are with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have three daughters so what we listen to is quite diverse. I listen to the 13 volume Chuch Hymn set, jazz and classical. When we are all together if it is inappropriate we just change the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they were little I made it abundantly clear that the car sound system is NOT an extension on their MP3/iPod's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
