Dear So and So

I wish i could remember the movie, but it was rated R.
my 2nd grade son (this was 1990 ish) brought home a permission sliip from school
to watch a rated R movie (it was an action-adventure story) I had an absolute
FIT!
So now MY kid looks bad because i don't want him watching rated R movies.
I was the only mom who complained. I don't think they got to watch the movie.
(it could have been Raiders of the lost ark)

Mimi - we hear/see it all the time. We have PRESCHOOLERS talking about the movies they watch & they are seeing things I don't want to see. Not only is it making our jobs much more difficult but it is having lasting effects on young minds who are not sufficiently developed to process what they are seeing on the screen. Sad.

Thanks for being the one mom who stood up and said no!

My preschooler got into Pokemon when a big kid brought in a gameboy to dc. I thought it was too violent for him so I told him he couldn't watch it. So his dad bought him a movie. Now when he gets frustrated he tells me how "stupid" he is and that he's a "loser". Right from pokemon. Thanks ex - now you know why you're an ex..

Yeppers, due to the fact that we had two ACTIVE boys, ALL the teachers knew us as did the principals and even some vice principals.
ahem. We were VERY involved.
