Keep it up, that's more than my parents, aunts and uncles did.

However, if you do not homeschool or send them to a good Catholic school, your daily efforts will be totally offset by their learning from the seculars. TV is just another portal for the seculars to influence your children. And a waste of time.

Secular daycare, secular schools and TV, are all indoctrinating mediums of the enemies of God. You do not stand a chance against them.
Thank for the warning, I understand what I am up against.
And thanks?.... I think for letting me know I’m more of a cliche then I thought.

Asking her if she watches tv or if her husband is a convert is what I meant by going after directly.
Those are questions, important questions that occurred to me to ask based on what I was told up to that point. Watching TV is not good, having a convert husband says nothing, one way or the other. St. Paul was a convert, and Luther was a cradle Catholic.

There is a world of difference between

I do agree that

The more they are avoided the better for the soul. Most important is prayer and lots of good family time together.

Just because your family had a lackadaisical laissez-faire approach to religion doesn't mean the Mr and Mrs Vintage do.

My greater family did more than just "lackadaisical laissez-faire approach to religion", but it was the 1960's and they all got hit by something unprecedented in history, it came out of seemingly nowhere. Practically all their children 50+ went to Catholic schools. Parents expected the schools to teach the faith, but it was not enough to offset the world.

It is worse today than the 60's, but it is not out of nowhere, today we have the history of the 1960's and on, almost 60 years to learn from others mistakes. Today, in the USA, if parents send their children to secular schools and let them watch TV, no matter what they teach them, the odds are strongly against them succeeding. I have not seen one yet that has succeeded. When the children reach the teenage years they "do it their way". 

Success to me is that the children become real Traditional Catholic and pass the faith onto their children. The families that have succeeded all went to SSPX schools and homeschooled, didn't watch television and much more. I have only scratched the surface in this discussion, because the subject is just homeschooling.

This is the major problem. 
So many parents lament too late, having shirked on their responsibility. 
I thank God that, although I went to a Catholic school before the rot set in, my parents never depended on the school to teach us the Faith. That was their responsibility, they took it very seriously, lived the Faith, and so we children were greatly blessed.
