So instead of being able to watch a family show in peace, my daughter asked what impregnate, abuse and incest was. I’m not sure why this political ad had to he aired on a show for families. End vent.
what time was the show?
My 7 yo was in bed at 8, so there wasn’t a conflict.
My DD is usually in bed by 8, asleep by 9. I thought the show would end at 9. I thought it was a 1 hour show.
It is the only live show we have ever watched together. We have football on live on weekends but she isn’t watching.
That’s the risk you take allowing a kid to watch a show running past 9 PM. Seriously. If the show runs past 9, you have to assume that the networks are running adult ads. Our 7 yo never watched a show past 9. If it was gonna run that late, then we would tape in advance, purged such ads, then watch as a family.
We don’t watch much tv. I realized it was the premier so thought it would be nice to watch as a family. I have never watched a live survivor show before today.
If you can’t prerecord shows and watch them later, at least mute them during commercials. Especially during an election cycle, you can expect dramatic adds from both sides that deal with issues candidates want voters to care about.
All kinds of mature topics come up on shows like survivor. We used to watch amazing race as a family when dd was 7ish. She didn’t wince at same-sex couples, etc. However, some of the issues that come up in campaign adds can be much harder to explain than “love is love”.
