[quote=Anonymous]I’m the mom of a 13 yr old DS. (just turned 13). I would absolutely object to this, and have actually been (mildly) upset in the past with PG-13 movies when he was 10 or 11 when parents didn’t even bother to ask us. The problem you have is that the invitation and act of selecting this movie already implies that you think it’s appropriate/ok, so only the very bold or those that know you well are likely to say anything. And of course they have their sons pitching fits or begging behind the scenes. The lack of response is probably a combination of 1 and 2. We just have a blanket rule that we only show appropriately rated movies, regardless of our personal opinion on subject matter/content. Too personal and varies too much for each family—we have no problems with nudity/sex scenes in movies, but do with violence. Some families are the opposite. Sorry, not that helpful—it’s a tough one. Easier in the old days where the theaters themselves controlled access! [/quote]
