Would twooffour actually being a parent have really changed whether his thoughts on the idea of refusing to allow your children to see things based on your opinion of them are valid or not?

I think it could, theoretically. Having a child and interacting with that child on a daily basis changes a lot of your views on things, and not all these things are "serious parenting issues."

xhonzi's decision is a parenting issue, no matter how minor the issue may be (to you or him). He's not dealing with another adult. To call his parenting decision absurd is condescending, insulting, and frankly....absurd.

Really, is there any way to contest his parenting decision that wouldn't come across as insulting or condescending?

I don't intend to sound like a jerk about it, but that's really how it looks to me.

Look, I understand the motivation, you want your children to appreciate the things you grew up with. The OT was obviously a huge part of xhonzi's childhood, and I can totally understand him wanting his children to experience them the way he did.

But when you go to such lengths as dremeling off the lightsaber on a Republic Heroes Yoda toy, I think it's worth taking a moment to step back and get some perspective.
