Hmm... We're trying to make sure we all get turns, so she gets nursery rhymes to sing along and do the actions to, then we get some pop, rock, folk or metal.
Yeah. Totally makes sense, and that is fair. Tho turns seem to lead to the 'is it my turn yet? Is it now? Now?' conversation that sometimes I would rather avoid.
I tell my kid I can't play Spotify in the car, and so she's fine with the radio or quiet. Wife does let her sometimes - and every time we get into the car with her, kid says 'can I listen to X music'.
Sometimes a hard rule is just helpful to avoid those discussions.
