to ask my ex to not let our four year old watch WWE wrestling?

[superv1xen]

my ex is a fan of WWE wrestling. to the extent he actually goes to watch shows. he has our four year old son every weekend and it has become apparent that he has been letting him watch it regularly

now i hate WWE anyway, i think its absolute shite and personally think that grown adults who watch this kind of rubbish need to grow up and get a life. (ex is a 31 year old man ffs)

i just don't like it because although i know that the violence in it it is staged, i don't want DS watching it as, at 4, he will think it is real. i also worry it might influence DS to try out the moves - as my dear mother said when i asked her about it "that rubbish will just encourage rambunctious behaviour!!" :o

sadly DS thinks the sun shines out of his dads stupid arse and that everything he does or says is really cool so if daddy thinks wrestling is cool then so will DS.

LOL. Poor OP. Not exactly what you wanted!

My DS is 9 and loves it and I had the bright idea to get him tickets to see it in Dublin in April. Which means I get to go too. And I DON'T like it!

And if Vicky bleedin' Carrera screeches I will be in that ring and rip her head off her body! She drives me mad. Mad.

OP - DS was about 6 when he got into it. I remember posting on here about it! But he does love it and he and his friends all know it is staged. They practice their moves but in a staged way too. Our trampoline gets used as a ring. DS spends ages rehearsing his entrance.

OP - I don't think you ABU. I have the same issue with my very nearly 4yo DS and violence in superhero video games, comics and cartoons with my Ex. He (ex) finally agreed to calm it down when pre-school said it was affecting his behaviour with other children .

I don't know how the hell you can stop him though. Same kind of issue with video games with my ex, he is determined that his son will share his hobby, even though he's too young for it. Grrr.

gleeb yes, exactly the same here, this is what i feel my ex is doing. he is a sad video gamer too so no doubt that will be next

i am not keen on ex's parenting anyway as he lets ds get away with murder and never tells him off or anything, he also lets him have sweets and junk food, grrrr it fucks me off

my ex is basically a big silly kid.

I have the sweets and junk food thing too to a certain extent. I think he thinks he's there to just hang out and be mates with DS. Which leads to "I like being at Daddy's house because he lets me play video games and have sweeties". Awesome.
