#44: This Doesn’t Make You a Bad Person

Simoncholland is a great dad. I’ve banned the use of all musical instruments in my house. My daughter wanted to play tuba for the middle school band, and I absolutely said no. I’m willing to put up with a lot, but we all have to set our boundaries somewhere. There’s already enough chaos and noise in my house.

I’m hoping they phase out recorders entirely at some point. I mean, I love music, and every musician must start somewhere, but I’d rather foster the love of headphones than a musical instrument torture device. Thankfully, my kids understand. Well, they pretend to, at least, because I leave them no choice.
