DD (11) recently brought home her year-book for primary leavers. Each child in the top year completed a survey of most embarrassing moment at primary, favourite TV programme, favourite foods etc.
A large number nominated The Inbetweeners as their favourite programme! I was under the impression it was crude and vulgar and aimed at late teens, but never having watched it I turned it on for a bit last night to see if I was right. Within 60 seconds we had discussions of wanking, fucking and shitting .
I'm not feeling superior exactly as my DD's favourite was MI High, which is dross - but at least it's age-appropriate dross!
Favourite song amongst the kids appeared to be Rhianna's S&M . Charming...
Oh, and while I'm ranting, at a recent school assembly (I haven't been for a while) my DD seemed to be about the only girl in her year still in knee-length skirt, polo shirt and school sweatshirt (their uniform) - the others had moved over to the high-school look of mid-thigh skirt (OK not quite the bum-skirt of the local high school, but on the way to it), fat ties and tight jumpers. I know they're all growing up, but am I really the only parent of this school year who thinks this "uniform" is inappropriate?
So I am right, or am I just a out-of-touch prude? Am particularly at the Inbetweeners - what kind of parent lets their children watch this stuff?
AIBU?
The Inbetweeners - for 11 year olds?
