Don't corrupt my son!
 

so one of my brothers friends spent the night at his house the other night and they watched Saving Private Ryan. Both of them are 13. So the kid goes home today and tells his dad that he watched SPR. His dad then calls my dad bitching him out saying

"Are you aware that my son watched SPR @ your house yesterday?"
My dad "Yes"
"are you aware that movie is rated R"
"Yes"
"Well I dont allow my son to watch those type of movies, do you think you have the right to decide what my son can watch etc..."

My dad explains how it is a fairly historically accurate account of what happened during WWII and that he was unaware and not told by either parent that this kid had a "restriction" of what he could watch. Furthermore the Kid never once mentioned "I cant watch R rated movies"(This past summer I actually asked him if he couldnt watch R rated movies when I watched 28 days later over there. he said they dont care) Also as soon as he got to my bros house he asked to watch From Dusk Till Dawn(mutilation, blood, gore and nudity plz)

Whats even better is the father lets his son hunt, kill animals etc, so he should have some respect for weapons.

He also bought this kid for his 13th birthday(2-3 weeks ago) Call of Duty 2 for the PC happy:

wtf oOo:

My dad is literally LOLing at this guy

Both you and your father are dispicable. annoy:

My parents never cared what kinda movies I watched.

some people see it fit to raise their kids how they want ... i dont see a bad thing in trying to preserve innocences for as long as you can. honestly i dont know if i would want my 13 yr old kid watching spr. well, 13 might be pushing it ... again, it all depends on how you want to raise your kid. if you want him to be talking like a sailor at 13 and thinking about bodies missing limbs ... sure why the fuk not. its not like we dont already have enough child murderers/criminals already.

I didn't know what sex was until my penis was in a vagina.

To be serious, though, my dads kinda like that - let's me watch even the nastiest of R movies out there, yet wont let me lay a hand on M-rated games. Not that I really care, anymore.

yeah because I watched SPR when I was a lad, I am now really warped in the head. stupid:

^^ to each his own. truthfully, i would like to see more parents like this who actually take an active role in whats going on with their kid. imo, there would be fewer dipshits who have no respcect for anyone or anything running around.

i cringe at the thought of the "britney spears" generation in charge of the world ill be living in as a old man, who, it seems, havent learned a god damn thing about kindness, respect, or responsibility. So many fuking unguided kids running around these days its fuking scarey.

: o yeah, its kind of funny to see a post like this, then when a kid shoots up a school everyones asking "where were the parents". well, here is one such parent who seems to be doing exactly that and is being critisized for it ... you might wanna rethink how you feel about them.

Corporal punishment is key.

you can't get mad at the dad. If anything, the dad should be mad at the son for not speaking up about what he is allowed to watch. It's the kid's fault, not the West family.

no what I critisize him for is if hes so active into controling his kid, why would he not make that evidently apparent when he came over. He has visited many times, they play baseball together and my mom would see his mom every other day. never once has this man told either my mother or father. I do NOT allow my son to watch R rated movies, etc.

I respect a persons decsion on how to raise their child and so would my father. As funny as my dad can be and the off the wall shit he will say he is a good man(and an ordained minister for their church), but don't call trying to call out someone else, without any notice of restrictions. My brother knows what he can and can not do and so does this kid, yet he says nothing about it to anyone.

My dad knows where my brother is at all times. He doesnt even let him out of the house without knowing where he is going. he isnt allowed to ride his bike more than one house down either way on the road unless he is given permission.

You should never expect things to happen, you should lay them out beforehand

kick that asshole in the crotch.

You should have told the dad that his kid knew more about both male and female genitalia than a porn star, which is another subject he was quite familiar with. Im sure the dad would have gotten a kick outta that.

It's his kid, therefore, its his decision. He could have told your dad in advance, but think how that would sound if you told somebody that you don't want your kid to watch R movies at this friend's house. That's assuming that the other parent lets their kid watch them and that it is bad parenting, that would be very awkward for the other kids' parents when you think about it.

Nowadays, I would never show a kid a film he wasn't old enough to see unless his parent said it was okay, it's just common courtesy.

That being said, I think the kid's dad should get over it, SPR is a good exception to make, it's not like it's R cause of titties and zombies and stuff like that, it's accurate and it's historical but still, it's the dad's call.

..now that's a steep, rock-hard learning-curve, gg mang cool:
