[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So, DC has been invited to a birthday party where they will be watching a PG 13 movie. It’s a teen movie, with teen themes. If DC were 2 years older, I would be fine with movie. But they’re not.

Is this a case of I need to relax? Or is it worthwhile to censor DC’s movies a few more years?[/quote]

You don't need to relax, but you also can't expect them to change the movie to accommodate one guest.  So you have to accept that this party may not happen for your kid, which is fine.[/quote]

Agree that it's fine to miss occasionally.

On the flip side, sometimes speaking up reveals other parents have the same concerns. This happened once with a sleepover where I said my kid probably wasn't ready for the movie, so I'd just pick them up after dinnertime. Several parents chimed in on the text thread that actually their kid wasn't up for it either. The party ended up switching movies. [/quote]

You can roll your eyes, but the host parent even said she was glad we said something. She's the kind of parent that doesn't like to say no to her kids, so making someone else the bad guy worked better from her perspective, too. I never would have asked them to change it. I thought my kid would be the only one leaving early.[/quote]
