Ok I'm back from getting my hair done and I feel marvelous.
Ok I brought this to the board cuz I couldn't believe what my hubby did. Normally we discuss what the kids can watch and agree on what's appropriate but it's summertime and my hubby's good sense sometimes goes out the window. I think it's cuz he wants the kids to have more freedom than he did as a child and teen. I don't know.
I thank all that have already seen the film and gave me your opinion about it. I think I could watch this film with my 14 yo son and 10 yo daughter but I don't think it's something my 7 and 4 yo sons need to see...yet. I do look forward to having a discussion with my older kids about the movie to see what they got out of it and their views on teen pregnancy. I don't shelter my kids and quite frankly I've talked to them more about sex than my parents ever did. My parents had the attitude of "don't ask, don't tell" and if you dared to ask then you must be doing something you shouldn't. I can't tell you how many times I was called a slut and I wasn't even doing anything to be called a slut for, just cuz I dared to say that I liked a boy. I asked my youngest brother shortly after his senior prom if our mother had ever said anything to him about sex and he said that she said "don't do it" nothing else. Some sex education.
I won't apologize for being flip towards those childless ones who have responded to the negative about how I'm raising my kids. I think of it as a slight lack of maturity and a little bit of projecting. I've had those kinds of peeps do that to me before and strangely enough when they've had kids I hear no more of that kind of talk...I don't wonder why
