DD is the first of four and we're still learning the ropes of parenthood. She has just turned 7. We have recently moved house and we were delighted to find that our new neighbourhood which is minutes from our old has way more kids.
DD has spent the summer months playing out on the street and making friends just like I did at the same age.
Tonight she can't sleep because one of the girls has been showing everyone horror movies in her bedroom. Our kids don't have devices or TVs in their bedrooms. They have plenty of access to tv in the house but never unsupervised.
I'm disappointed that DD has been exposed to something that would frankly terrify me. I feel guilty that we let this happen but at the same time we want her to have some freedom.
AIBU to hope that the parents of 7/8 year olds have a vague handle on what their kids are watching under their roof?
Prepares to have arse handed to me on a plate.
I'm British so I won't confront the parents,
I will just secretly rage while teaching DD coping mechanisms (like leaving the hall light on and asking her what nana would do-nana has dementia and is always completely direct-DD thinks nana would tell the scary doll with no eyes to put on a scarf as it will catch a chill ).
I'm fucking raging and I feel guilty for entrrusting my PFB to the poor judgement of other parents....
