To tell my DD that, I am not as interested in Glee as she is?

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

DD is almost 10. We have the first season of Glee and have been steadily working our way through them.
After each show, and sometimes during, we have to have the who do you like best/least conversation.
I really don't give a toss, they are made up characters and have no impact on my life whatsoever. DD OTOH, seems to think she will be called on to give a rational explanation regarding motives, personality and history of the full cast.
AIBU to tell her I honestly don't care.

Kurt and Britany best
Quinn and Puck least.

YABU. You have to fake it. These things are very very important when you're 10.

(I can't stand Kurts smirky face and want to slap it. Rachel should be locked in a soundproofed box. Brittany rocks.)

Glee is the work of Satan.

Thankfully, my DD thinks so too.

We do, however, have a wall full of The Wanted posters. FFS.

I think so long as you explain that different people like different things and that isnt something you are keen on it should be fine.

My son is obsessed with apple since we bought him an ipod and insists on telling me all about their latest product launches/new features/etc. It bores the pants off me. Especially when you hear for the 8th time about something. I just explained that although it was very interesting to him it wasnt to me. It didnt work actually thinking about it as he still does it. Also husband said that he was getting a million emails from apple as son has signed him up for them.

He should be thankful, son signed me up for a podcast on "being a calmer person".

Kurt, puck, Brittany and Santana really come into their own in season 2. Rachel, Finn and Quinn are still useless and whingy though.

i love GLEE lol

I've been telling my DSs that I don't care about football for years and years and years - but yet still they feel the need to share the minutiae of the Championship table and then force me to listen to tedious accounts of how exactly a goal was scored. Sometimes with full re-enactments. If you put me under hypnosis I suspect I know more than any TV pundit.

But I like Glee. So YABU.

I agree with pjmama, Rachel should be in a locked box in a locked room in a locked house. She is just awful, but as my super perceptive DD pointed out, she must be a good actress, nobody could be that ghastly IRL.
I suppose I'll just have to suck it up, we've only got three more episodes to watch. I imagine she'll want series two for her birthday.

Oooh series 2 is SO good [buwink]

I have ahem, naughty dreams about Puck. I don't know what it is about him, esp. in season 1.

I also agree that Brittany rocks (Aren't dolphins just gay sharks???)

And I've never seen so many big fake plastic teeth in all my life. They make the Osmonds look positively dentally challenged.

I had many years of having to be interested in Pokemon and Yugioh so Glee is a relief

My dd adores glee and knows I have no interest.

I think season 2 is far worse than season 1. Dd leaves it on the planner for me and i end up forwarding through most of it.
Yanbu to tell dd you dont care i do this about a lot of things (twilight, rpatz, glee, tudor history, what happened on the school bus etc etc) if i sat and listened to all of it, i would have no time for anything else.

Good, I am glad IANBU.
DD often compares me to Sue Sylvester, not sure whether I should be flattered or offended.
Unfortunately, as we are not in England we can't get iplayer or receive it through normal telly.
I can say that series two isn't available on disc.

Puck is my favourite and most best

Puck and Kurt are amazing in season 2 I love Glee and babble to my poor husband about it. Hes taken to calling Kurt toothless though as he never shows his teeth when he smiles or sings

I really enjoy Glee myself.
But won't be allowing DD1 (9) to watch it until she is at least 12. I think many of the topics are too grown-up for the under 12s. My DN (6!) watches it with her older sister, most of it goes over her head, but I cringe when I think of her while watching some of the stuff.

Moshi Monsters is the topic my 2 DDs keep on about. But at least they are both really into it, and can have many of those discussions among themselves. But they continue to try engage me in these discussions. Sometimes I'll engage, but I fob them off lots of times.

Blashepmy!!!!
