[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the off chance that OP isn't a troll...

OP, give us some examples of what books and movie scenes you're talking about. Normalizing sexual behavior in young children isn't just inappropriate, it's dangerous. It makes them more vulnerable to sexual abuse when they have knowledge beyond what is developmentally appropriate. The statute of David is one thing, graphic depictions of sex are another. There are MANY age appropriate books for children on nudity and sexuality that you could use to teach your children (It's So Amazing, the American Girl books, etc.). Random sex scenes in movies are not teaching tools, they're harmful and dangerous.

Separate your feelings about hunting and eating animals from your approach to sexuality "education." They are not related and you are wrong whether or not he is also.[/quote]

Yes, actually - here are 3 books my STBXH say are "abusive" and shouldn't be on the shelves of the family room:
Polaroid, Mapplethorpe
A woman's right to pleasure
Women and kink
^others follow the same theme, heavy art and a nod to female sexual empowerment.

Movies are along the lines of French films, series like the L word, bridgerton...

All of which fuel my content for my job. [/quote]

1) you are engaged in a high conflict divorce from someone who sounds like he has really different values to you. That is making both of you double down. That's not productive. Denying that it's happening is even less productive.

2) Stop doubling down on these things "being your job" and that's why it's okay. It's okay for you to have books like that on your bookshelves because you are interested in them and books are stored on bookshelves. Making this about your job is accepting his premise that they're unacceptable and need a justification. Stop doing that. He doesn't have to be right.

3) If you are watching Bridgerton with your children, stop doing that. Stop putting them in the middle. You can watch Bridgerton or whatever. Have as many L Word box sets as you want. But if you are actually experiencing these things WITH your kids, stop doing that, for at least the duration of your divorce. [/quote]
