[quote=Anonymous]OP. I thought it was pretty obvious that that was a made up title! I honestly can't remember the title. It's one of those "found footage" films where a group of teens gets trapped in mental asylum sort of thing.

I'm totally against showing the movie! I've been the bad guy about r rated movies for the past three birthday parties! Thus year, dss went to dh directly who oked an r rated film, and I had to intervene in retrospect.

Yes, I'm mad at dh for making me be the "bad guy" in this situation. So i agreed to this compromise. I have no issues being tough on my own kid with media, but when you're the step, it really is different.

Dss doesn't even care about this particular movie. He just wanted something RRated, and I made it clear to dh that I would not allow it unless a specific movie was selected and specific permission was gained from every parent. Dss spent about 5 minutes browsing Netflix and chose this one.

So, strategic error on my part in thinking at least one parent out of 25 would say no. But I suppose if dh wont listen to my opinion about this stuff, the rep as "that sort of house" is deserved.
