I agree with this, I was a fairly sheltered kid and remember really obscene jokes about BJs at 13, a rhyme about "horny suzy sliding down the bar stool" (think about it) even younger....and all of this was pre internet. You shouldn't encourage it or make it easy but those of think your kids aren't exposed to really dirty concepts as preteens and younger are naive. |

| Just came across this thread & wanted to add a newish game we found called 'Awkward Moments.' It's like a sanitized Cards Against Humanity, which means it is less edgy and outrageous, but is completely appropriate. Plus, great to help awkward teens practice dealing with those moments. see https://fathergeek.com/awkward-moment/ |

| My daughter started playing when she was almost 14. Other than the awkward moments of having to explain what some of the sexual terms meant, it has been fine. We play with our dearest family friends, which includes two more teens and their parents. There has been a lot of laugher and bonding around this game. |

| I played CAH with my parents, but I culled the deck in advance to remove the really awful stuff. We had a blast. If you did want your kids to be able to play, you could do the same thing. |

I'm an admitted hippie dippy mom, so no, I wouldn't allow it for its mean-spirited sensibility. I'm all compassion and empathy. The cards don't amuse me, so I guess I shouldn't have responded. You were looking for parents who actually play the game. I know it's supposed to be naughty and shocking, I've just seen some people enjoy it too much and it changed my perspective of them. |

| No way. I get that a lot of kids hear dirty stuff at school but many of the cards are REALLY REALLY dirty. It's just not appropriate and I don't think it's good parenting to be laughing about coat hanger abortions or having sex with a hog with your kids. |

| I'd "let" them play, but wouldn't play with them. |

Totally. I am the opposite of the other PP. I have no big issue with them exposed to sexual content if it's a realistic and compassionate portrayal. But no way am I going to let the kids play those violent video games. I think watching violence, especially "acting" in violence as you can in a video game, can really badly affect an impressionable young mind. |

| My 11-year-old daughter made her own cards for against humanity. I found them in her sweatshirt pocket. About 90% of it was bad stuff. There were answers that said dildos and questions about what would you masturbate with. Should I punish her or just talk to her about it? |

Not punish, but I'd be very worried about where a going kid was getting those ideas. |

Young, sorry. |

| I let my 14 year old daughter play with her friends. I think they are mature enough to handle the content. As long as your child isn't sensitive or easily offended then they would be fine playing this game. |

| I think it is okay for children to play cards against humanity because if they play, it shows that they already know what the cards mean. If they don't know what some of the cards mean, you can choose not to explain them and use the, "I'll tell you when you're older" excuse. As for call of duty, I think it's fine. In medieval times, it would be a family event to see people burnt at the stake. So, video games will not make your kids any more violent than this. |
