Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

10 year old went to a sleepover on sat-- just found out she watched SEX AND THE CITY movie with her friend and her mom. I was MAD--its rated R! The mom says I am over reacting--what do you all think? she says it is basically innocent and they fast forwarded thru the sex parts--
31 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreMy 11 year old went to a sleepover, and the mom wanted to show Borat! Luckily, some kids (not mine, she wanted to see it) said they weren't allowed to watch R-rated movies. I am very much on the lenient side when it comes to what my dd sees, but I would NEVER show even a questionable PG-13 to someone elses dc. You are not overreacting at all.
[ Reply | More ]I think it was ok. I don't even know why they rated it R to be honest. Oh, I remember because there is some nudity.

are you joking? this is so not okay. and while I like the women on SATC for entertainment, I would not want my daughter idolizing them or their behavior. Call me a prude (who loves SATC) but those women were just too cavalier about sex.
[ Reply | More ]np: i think the the issue here is that the other woman doesn't have the right to make this decision for the op. if it's rated R, i think that's too questionable to show to other people's kids without permission. it's not even pg-13. a mom doesn't have the right to decide that for someone else's kids.

OMG that would have pissed me off. The mom was WRONG so WRONG. That movie has fully nudity and from what I remember a steamy short love scene that shows a lot.

Considering that my 10 year olds friends were grossed out by kissing in Enchanted I can't imagine thinking it would be OK to show SITC! Most of the kids just aren
[ Reply | More ]Forget about the sex, how about the crass consumerism and constant product placement? Do you want your DD's to become shallow shop-a-holics?
[ Reply | More ]On the one hand, she did parentally supervise the viewing and forwarded through inappropriate parts. One the other hand, consider yourself put on warning about what your daughter may encounter while at their house. You can't change their rules, only whether or not and how often you'll allow your daughter to go there. And don't stomp your feet and bemoan how her daughter and your daughter are BFFs, because then you just sound like a kid yourself. It's life, lots of diversity out there. Put on your big girl panties and make the hard decisions for your family and deal with whatever consequences without bringing tyranny down on other families for the decisions they make.
[ Reply | More ]You did not overreact and it was important for you to let mom know how you feel so that she will think about decisions she makes when your dc is in her charge. That being said, you will probably have to be more explicit with her in the future before she does something like this. I just wonder it what world showing 10yr girls SATC is a good idea? Sounds like there may be some divergence in your daughters' friendships as they get older because the values between families are definitely a little different.
