I have 2 DSs, aged 4 and 6, most of my eldest's friends have seen all the Avengers movies, all the newer Star Wars movies etc, etc. My husband and I feel our kids are too young and that there's plenty of time for that when they're a bit older. Why does everyone want their kids to grow up so quickly?!
I don't want them to feel like they're missing out and I don't want to be those big bad parents that don't let their kids do stuff, but it just feels like its unnecessarily exposing them to stuff they don't need to see.
Part of the issue is I was shown films too young and for example can't go in the ocean past my waist height from watching Jaws too young. I'm working on it, but for years I couldn't even look at pictures of sharks without having nightmares. I couldn't go in shaped swimming pools in fear there was something hiding round the corner. I don't want that for my kids.
I'm also anti the whole guns and violence thing which I know is par for the course with boys, he does enough already without being allowed to watch stuff!! Am I kidding myself or do I (ahem) stick to my guns?
