AIBU?

To have watched 50 Shades Of Grey with DD?

DD is 16, we recently purchased 50 Shades Of Grey from the Sky box set. I watched it with her, wasn't an issue. Then DH comes in shouting and telling me that it is inappropriate and definitely doesn't approve... Who is BU?

It's definitely inappropriate as it gives a very skewed, dangerous and downright wrong view of bdsm lifestyle, for that reason alone I wouldn't let a teenager watch it.

At least it wasn't shameless, my then 18 yr old made me sit through that. My arse sweated until season 4.

50 shades is a bit rubbish anyway and maybe throw up a decent conversations about life and relationships?

Did you discuss with her the fact that the woman is in an abusive relationship?

I don't know. Was it part of a conversation about consent and boundaries? Because if not YABVVVVVVVVU.

You obviously know there is an issue otherwise why start a thread asking?

It's just a shitty film. I've seen it just coz everyone was on about it. It's shit

She's old enough to know it's a film and not real or something to follow unless she's the type that watched Tom and Jerry and believed she was a mouse or cat after it 😂

Sooo disingenuous... Was the issue the sex (don't care) or the abuse, lack of consent and worrying portrayal of BDSM?

No, at 16, I don't think this is a big deal tbh. And for all the posturing about 50sog, I don't think it promotes a worse model than most Hollywood movies. It's just that people don't like it when male dominance is portrayed in a way that turns women on rather than in a way that is designed to appeal to men.

Films are certificated for a reason. However, I think parents can decide to ignore this to a certain extent but you should have perhaps discussed it with your DH first.

I doubt I'd feel comfortable watching this film with my mother and I'm 37! 😳

My dd wanted to see it at the cinema, she went with a friend because I refused to watch it with her.

We had a chat about it but she mainly found it ridiculous.

I don't see it as an issue. I was just under that age watching American beauty, boys don't cry etc. It's a shit film with shit characters that I doubt she would feel like she'd want to be either of them. It depends on the kid I guess but you could ask her what she thought and see what she thinks of controlling relationships etc.
Jaws was a pg when I was a kid so I'm not sure if my childhood was tainted by the rating system.
