I had just had my DD and I was 30 at the time. I was breastfeeding her in a rocking chair watching MTV and the video from Warrant the song Cherry Pie came on. I LOVED Warrant. I have the CD. But I had tears running down my face as I realized that I didn't want my sweet little daughter exposed to that kind of treatment of women. I didn't want her to hear those raunchy lyrics. I think I was in total shock as I came to that conclusion. I had become a grown-up and a Mother.
I had lived my teen years, and DH and I had 10 years of couples life before we had children. I had met that point on my time line that I was now a Mother and should act like one.
That was a WOW Moment for me!
