Would you watch a film rated 15/18 while your 6 and 3 year old were in the room playing?

Would you put a film rated 15 or 18 on in the room while your young children were in there?

In this case, 6 year old DD and 3 year old DS, playing with toys and each other but obviously can hear and see the tv

Films weren't scary films but obviously completely inappropriate, and bad language etc.

My DP says I'm being ridiculous but this is just not acceptable in my view.

No, I wouldn't.

Under 1s yes, over 12s possibly child dependent

2-12 definitely not

Under 2 yes but not older as they'll be bound to pick up on a swear world or an unsuitable scene.

Not an 18 certainly. Depends what the 15 is.

No I wouldn't. As pp said if a baby or over 12 then possibly but not at the ages you mention.

No, not a chance. I think that is absolutely poor parenting.

No.

Definitely not

No I definitely wouldn't do that

As others said baby fine but not an older child that age

Your DP is a dick

No.

No.

No, your DP is a dickhead.

Depending on the content of the 18 film doing that can be classed as a safeguarding concern.

Yes.

No, of course not. They absorb loads at those ages.

Absolutely not

No.
Your DP is an idiot who thinks only of himself.

Is he their dad? not that it matters, but curious if he feels less concerned about the impact on them because he isn’t their DF.

absolutely not. I have renovation and cooking shows to watch while I fold washing in the daytime, my drama shows only go on after dc bedtime

18 absolutely not. A 15 that's rated purely for language would depend on the film. I can't think of an actual example of one that's okay, but there might be one I can't think of?

Absolutely no way would I allow this. Your DH must be a selfish prick to think this is okay. 18 rated movies in front of a 6 year old?? At a push the 3 year old might be oblivious, but I still wouldn't do it. He's being totally unreasonable, irresponsible and self centred. Their little minds are like sponges, developing all the time, and exposure to stuff like that could be actually damaging for them - violence, gore, sex, swearing, it's not okay to expose them to that. 18 rated movies are usually have at least one scene of extreme violence or gore, or abuse, something like that. I would read the fucking riot act to him about this. Put your foot down.

Nope.

Kids pick up on everything.

Depends on the film and the content. Some older films and in fact some very boring films can have a high age rating.

No way.

Depends on the context of the film and why it's rated a 15/18.
