Only because everyone else seems to be telling you that you're not, so I'm going to stir the pot a bit. No pun intended. As Quart said, Grandmaother was pretty strict with us. I remember being sent out of the room ALL THE TIME when Dirty Dancing was on. Dirty freakin' Dancing! And Stealing Home? We watched that once when my parents were out and my sister & her friend made my friend & I leave the room during the BJ scene. But then when THEY left the room we snuck up and watched it. And, um, what's the answer to Heather's question? HUH? Fess up. I vote for Prude. Only because everyone else seems to be telling you that you’re not, so I’m going to stir the pot a bit.

I had a really time watching CONSTANTINE once I saw a man and his probably 5-year-old son sitting down the aisle from me. That is a really disturbing and scary movie with graphic violence, demons, and scenes depicting hell, and NO child had a place being there. I almost said something to the father- kinda still wish I had. baltimoregals last blog post..<a href="http://baltimoregal.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-weekend.html" rel="nofollow">Last weekend.</a> Yeah.

K, I have a 4 year old and have a hard time letting him watch Shrek and Madagascar. No, I do NOT think that we should just sit back and let kids grow up so fast!! I'm right there with ya, Hollywood can make any movie they please, it's not their responsibility to keep children from watching movies about um.. pot. It's the parents responsibility. I even thought Kung-Fu Panda was a little much for my 4 year old and had to talk to him afterward that what he saw in the movie is not real, otherwise I'm sure I would have gotten a note home from preschool that he's been practicing his kung-fu moves on billy, bob and susy. I don't think he'll be able to watch "R" rated movies until he's at least 17, seems a little old to sum, but please, maybe the less he knows about pot and oral sex the less he'll be tempted to try himself. Worked for me. Kristins last blog post..<a href="http://botellocentral.blogspot.com/2008/08/update.html" rel="nofollow">Update</a> Holy cow, found your site on accident, love it..

So haven't even really thought about it. This does bring to mind however a memory of when American Pie first came out and had the fancy new NC-17 rating. Our local theater was being totally vigilant and carding everyone. I have to tell you that being in that theater and knowing that it was all adults made it somehow funnier I think. We were free to be amused and laugh without worrying about what teenager in the next row we were setting a bad example for. And now I will go back to my retirement home.

My father-in-law let my son watch "Gunsmoke" when he was four and it took me months to correct the 'I'm gonna beat you up' and 'I'm gonna shoot you' issue. Oddly it only took me under 30 seconds to correct pap-pap. They should discover this stuff the natural way...by having a friend who works at the movie theater that will let them into movies they shouldn't be seeing. At least that way they still know it's not the right thing to do.

Long answer - I'm not a prude either, but I'm with you 100%. That's completely irresponsible parenting and one of the 9,000 reasons that people should have to get a license in order to procreate.

She's already throwing ninja stars at zombie giants and she's only 2-months-old. Really, they get exposed to this stuff younger and younger every year... I don't know where she got them. I swear I moved the throwing stars last night.... But seriously, as soon as she understands (and I mean FULLY understands) and can discuss with me the subject matter of anything, that's when she's allowed to watch it. But we try to keep her away from TV and movies in general. There are so many other awesome outdoor activities. Like urban survival or Hunt for the Seven Lost Scrolls of Atlantis. Games like that never get old. Some even last a lifetime.

Those parents were probably some of the kids I was horrified to see in R movies 20 years ago. Or their brains may be warped by the drugs THEIR parents did. For people with the "everybody does this" mentality, it apparently doesn't dawn on them that they are only observing the 1% or less who DO it, because you can't see all the millions of people NOT doing it (be it drinking, drugs, or taking underage kids to inappropriate movies).
