[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, your 17 year old is likely going to college in August. Can they watch it then?  As PPs have mentioned, when kids are getting ready to be "launched" and are applying for and choosing college, it seems so much better to spend your last few FT parenting months spending time with them and discussing things than banning a TV show that they will either stream behind your back now, or as soon as you drop them off at college.

So should they be allowed to smoke pot at home as well?  After all they'll be out of the house in a year and I won't be able to stop it then. [/quote]

Well, pot is illegal, for one. There is no law against watching Game of Thrones.

Logic fail.[/quote]

Ok. Then how about letting your 17 year old have their boyfriend spend the night?  It's not illegal and they will be out of the house soon enough anyways where you won't be able to prevent it. [/quote]

If you want to tell your 17-year-old that she's not allowed to watch a certain TV show, you can go right ahead and tell your 17-year-old that. Just remember that you telling her she is not allowed to do something, and her actually not doing that thing, are two different things.

Alternatively, you could tell her WHY you think it's inappropriate for her. I, personally, think that would send a clearer message about your beliefs than "You may not watch this TV show." But you're you and should do what you find appropriate.[/quote]
