scary movie
My mom actually needs help with this one, but I'll explain.
Last night my neighbors who are around my age (I'm 14) came over. My mom rented 3 movies (even though we really couldn't afford it) but being the whiners they are, they didn't want to see any of them, so we let them bring their own movie over, for my and my 11-year old bro to watch with them. They chose Scary Movie and I have no idea why their mom let me! It was really inappropriate for my brother, who's going in to sixth grade. I mean, people were giving each other bjs and hjs, a girl got stuck to the ceiling by cum, etc. It was really digusting. The worst part is that they thought it was hilarious, Nick (older one, around my age) in particular kept going, "Noelle, come here" (my mom's name) at the grossest parts. Their mom is normally a pretty good mom but I just don't understand how on earth she could think it was appropriate for my brother. Obviously her boys were too immature for it too. My mom is going to call their Mom, Denise, whom we've been friends with for many years. Denise can get offended and mad very easily, so what should my mom say? And what should she say next time the boys want to bring over a movie?
Sorry about the long question. I rate!

Your mom should probably just say, "I think the movie the kids watched last time was a little inappropriate for my youngest son (I didn't catch your little brother's name). Did you know they brought Scary Movie over? It has a lot of sexual content," and see what Denise says. Maybe she didn't even know how gross it was. And if she did, and she gets offended, your mom should just tell her that she doesn't want her kids to be watching stuff like that at this young because it could be a little misleading about sex. Sex should be a beautiful, loving act, between two mature adults who love each other, not between teenagers for raunchy fun. Maybe then Denise will agree, if your mom presents her case politely and gently.
Good luck!

I personally don;t think your mom should yell at the other mom. Just because the other moms kids came over and brought a movie, that seemed too inappropriate doesn't mean your mom could of done something, she could of stopped the movie in the middle or whenever they bring another movie like that, she could just say no.Or mkae your younger brother leave the room. I would assume that your mom is an adult, and she should handle situations like one.

Wow...Here's what to say to denise. (For your mom). "I don't know if you know this, but last night your boys brought over Scary Movie and I don't believe it was appropriate for [brothers name]. Can you please make sure they bring over PG13 or lower-rated movies next time?".
Also, next time, go to www.kidsinmind.com and search for the movie. It will rate it in terms of profanity, sex, and violence and also give details, which you can let your mom (and Denise) read.

This one might be best left for your mother and Denise to sort out together. I think your mother needs to let Denise know her opinion on the choice of film without sounding like she's criticisng the way Denise raises her own children, as this is likely to make Denise very defensive and will make actually sorting out the problem more difficult. Approach the topic gently, preferably in a place where Denise is comfortable (her home is better than yours) and when her children are out of earshot. Have your mother say that she's not really comfortable with her children, particuarly your younger brother, watching such explicit movies. You want to avoid sounding 'preachy', so make it clear that this is your personal opinion, but one you feel quite strongly about and would like to set down some rules about (such as only PG13 rated films in your home when your brother is around). Hopefully being reasonable and sensitive to Denise despite your differing opinions will mean things can be sorted out smoothly. Good luck!

i think your mom should tell her that her boys should bring over movies that are appropriate for your brother to watch.Also that are mature enough for her kids to watch too.The next time they bring over a movie have your mom look at it first and if it's not appropriate ask them to bring one that is or say sorry i dont think this is a good idea.hope i helped.

Personally, I don't think that movies inappropriate.
It's all a matter of opinion.
She might have thought it was okay to view.
You should ask her if she agrees to that or not.
You just can't go jumping to conclusions.

My moms best friend is in the same situation that your mom is in a lot. Your mom simply needs to say something like this.
Denise, a couple of nights ago your boys brought over scary movie. I don't want my kids watching movies like this. No offence or anything, you can do whatever you want with your kids but with mine, I'd appreciate if you'd tell me next time or give me the heads up. After all it was rated PG-13 too.
If your mom's friend takes offence to it, thats her problem. Your mom needs to express her feelings because the problem isn't going to go away by itself, it will only get worse.
Hope that helped, feel free to ask more question on my column or to IM me. Caitlin
