I feel bad for the kids, not for the mum. I think parents should take an interest in their kids' interests. If you're gonna spend 500 bucks on a band and you can't be arsed to learn their name, you gotta pay the parent-who-doesn't-care-about-your-kids-interests tax. The kids probably watched the movie 100 times, you should have been paying attention one of those times. Letting the TV parent your kids, and not even bothering to learn what the TV is saying to them, is neglect.
