Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

Here we go.

Will Blondie be Blondie are suddenly decide she is Wendy O. Williams.
 
Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

ok, my lil boy loves scary movies!!! halloween, friday the 13, texas chainsaw, freddy kruger so on and so forth!

hes only 8 yrs old! i know some parents wouldnt let thier children watch these but i dont see a problem with it!

anyway......heres the thing!!! theres this new movie coming tommorow called the strangers....he has his heart set on going to the theatre to see it!

but, im concerned...because 1. can a kid get into see a "r" rated movie and 2. will people be looking at us like we are the worst parents in the world?

and 3. ARE WE BAD PARENTS 4 LETTING HIM WATCH SCARY MOVIES?
 
Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

I don't think it can be any more scary than him seeing some of the moods you have been in, Shawn.

Shawn, I just watched the trailer for this movie....

My son is almost 9, and there is no way I would let him watch this movie.
I am just now letting him watch the Halloween, Friday the 13th ones. The only reason I let him watch the older horrors is because the dramatics and effects are so simple considering the advancements in technology that he laughs at them.

1. Shawn, for him to get into an R rated movie, he will have to be accompanied by an adult. not necessarily you either...

2. Having just seen the trailer, I can not say for sure but I can say I would be one of those people looking at you with a disapproving glare.

3. I can not say you are bad parents for letting him watch them, but I would recommend you watch them first to see how graphic they are and if it is something you want him exposed to.

Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

no reason to lie to him Shawn, just tell him you are the parent, and you dont feel he needs to see it right now, befroe you see it...

If u lie to him, and one of his friends' parents let them see it, then he will know you lied, and be mad as well as dissappointed.....just tell him the movie is too adult for him, and that he can see that type of movie when he gets older...

Tell him what Buc said but explain it is not appropriate to go and watch at his age in the theatre. Your decision. Be firm and fair. Good point by Buc. Gotta be honest.
 
Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

I TRYED TO TELL HIM IT COSTS WAY TOO MUCH TO GO SEE IT AT THE THEATRE!

SOOOOOOOOOOOO.......HE OFFERED TO PAY WITH HIS OWN MONEY!!!!:doh1

Just suck it up and tell him you are the parent and you say no. Simple as that.

Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

I REPEAT, quit lying to him, and be a parent...tell him it is too grown up a movie for a kid his age to see at the theater, and that when it comes on video, you will watch it, and if u feel it isnt any worse, than movies he has already seen, you 2 will sit there together and watch it...if its too violent, then he waits til he's older to see it, because YOU ARE THE PARENT..

thats not in his vocabulary or daily life :rolleyes:

"The Strangers" opens Friday, I am going to see it over the weekend too. The trailer looked pretty good.. which means it'll likely suck, but oh well.

As for your other questions, don't give a fuck what anybody else thinks. I would think that'd already be instilled into an admitted toe sucking, foot loving mans head..

Not your job to be their 'friend' right now, it's your job to be their parent.

Stop whining like a school girl and grow a set!
 
Re: Blondie, Can i ask you a serious parenting question?

Shawn sometimes we have to disappoint our kids but we have to remember it is in their best interest and they will appreciate it when they are older. We can be friends with then when they have their own kids and are asking our advice about things like this.

i know your right!

its just, i had a really really bad child hood! (physical/mental abuse, dad was an alcoholic... mom was a drug abuser) so i always said....when i have kids im goona be the best parent ever! and i guess i try to accomplish that by letting them do whatever they want. i just hope i dont regret it later on.

Being the best parent includes enforcing limits.....

I am afraid you may if you don't show them that boundaries are not always a bad thing. I know I have a friend and she is divorced and the father is not the nicest person in the world but she over compensates for that by being too nice to her kids. They have no sense of limits at all and it can be seen in their everyday life by other people and how they actually treat people. I am not saying you have that problem just if kids don't have those limits they have no idea when to hold back. I know it is hard but sometimes being hard is how we show our kids just how much we do love them.
