Is it just me, or would this get your goat?
We treated ourselves this week to a portable DVD player for the car to keep ds (AGED 4) entertained on very long journeys(we only have a video player at home).
We just got 2 DVDs for him to watch, Thomas the Tank and a Buzz Lightyear cartoon. Fine, I thought.
DH and DS went to Wales yesterday so DVD player was very handy indeed.
Then they went shopping! DH thought it would be a "good idea" to go into HMV and let DS choose 2 DVDs himself ... this is where I hold my head in my hands and go "arrrghhhhh!"
DS picked Garfield the Movie - so what, you say? Well I had just last week bought this on video for DS for Christmas, TOLD DH I HAD DONE THIS THIS AS WELL, and wrapped it up
DS is a Spiderman nut, but so far I have only let him see the cartoon version (occasionally). So he picks Spiderman the Movie (1st one), which is a 12 certificate, and watches it in the car on the way home, "it had a few scary bits", says DS.!
Now we've got it, I can't very well not let him see it (unless it "accidently" breaks).
Whatever happened to adult supervision? Just makes me wonder if he'd let DS pick up a 15 or 18 cert would he have let him have that too? Arrgghhhhh!
