You mean there are actually parents who deny their kids the chance to see PG-13 fare?!?! And here I am constantly seeing parents escort their six-year-old kids into R-rated sex romps like Whipped and blood fests like Kill Bill.


If God ever makes the horrible mistake of allowing me to have kids, I would try to refrain them to watch movies that would bore them or they wouldn't understand, and I wouldn't be concerned on violence or nudity. I would take them into a violent movie or a movie that features nudity or profanity, but I wouldn't take them to see an art film or something like "Waking Life" or "Touch of Evil", stuff they wouldn't enjoy.

Sex might be an issue though, I wouldn't take my kids into a movie that has a graphic sex scene until they are about 11, and after I have the infamous talk with them.


I KNOW A PARENT WHO WOULDN'T TAKE HIS KIDS TO SEE ROTS BECAUSE OF THE PG-13 RATING. I HELP THE KIDS OUT BY TELLING THEIR DAD JUST WHAT GAVE THE MOVIE THE PG-13 RATING. HE THEN WENT TO SEE IT ON HIS OWN, AND HE THEN TOOK HIS KIDS TO SEE THE MOVIE.

I'M AT THE POINT WITH MY KIDS (KIONA-7 AND HARRISON-2) THAT I HAVE TO MONITOR WHAT THEY WATCH AND LISTEN TO MUSIC WISE. MUSIC IS ACTUALLY HARDER TO MONITOR WHEREAS TV AND MOVIES AREN'T AS BAD. GENERALLY I WATCH THE MOVIE BEFORE MY KIDS DO OR I'LL WATCH THE SHOWS WITH THEM. MY KIDS HERE CUSSING AT HOME JUST AS MUCH AS IN THE MOVIES, SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. THEY KNOW NOT TO USE THE "BAD WORDS."
