... to try for a low key response to this ( inappropriate song lyrics accessed when Dc under MIL Supervision)

[sparkysparkysparky]

DH and I had a night off from duty at wknd and DC (7) stayed with in laws. They watched The Voice during which time apparently contestants covered the Pitbull/Kesha (no idea what proper letter configuration of her name is) charmfest that includes the phrase "head down/booty up". Donâ??t know if a sanitised version used on The Voice but DC duly downloaded lyric sheet - it got past various blockers I have on DC's tablet which are, as we know, no substitute for supervision. Dc also downloaded lyrics to Uptown Funk which includes "Bitch". DH went ballistic and was criticising his mum in a panic. DC in tears worried that Granny is in trouble.
Trying to defuse things, I said Granny not in trouble but we all trying to keep grown up stuff at bay and it didn't work this time. I have also said that dc must ask me or DH first before downloading lyrics because Granny doesn't always read them well enough.
Dc has told me that will just download again. I said need to check with us first.
I don't think it fair to block even listening to Uptown Funk but even an old duffer like me knows that Kesha is a no no. I explained to Dc that sometimes you can't always hear the grown up stuff in songs but sometimes you can. Er...

1. Suggest alternative way to handle dc?
2. How do I tell MIL who will be mortified?

Thanks Sens

I can't believe you encouraged your criminal DH to beat your MIL to a pulp in front of your weeping children (dressed in rags) just because she let them read a wholesome novel that vaguely alluded to someone having a bottom. Sorry, skim read, that seems to be what this is about from all the responses?

So, going against everyone else, I would be quite upset if my seven year old downloaded lyrics about blow jobs! I'd gently remind the MIL to check things online before letting your DC look in future. I think your DH has a perfectly valid worry about him saying things at school and getting into trouble! Plus, you don't want him internalising those misogynistic messages.

Crispy - thank you for deciphering it all so succinctly. And, of course, for getting what I was on about.

Crispy made me do a lol

Sparky and Crispy, me too.
There's big fish to fry and small fish to boil and simmer.....
This was a boil and simmer if you catch my drift.

Right, sorry for completely missing the point of this thread, but I refuse to accept that Timber is about blow jobs. It's a drinking/partying song. Timber = calling down, face down booty up = having fallen down. Another drink, another round, etc. There is nothing except a lone voice on MN to suggest it's about bjs.

People laughed at me but my dc had no unsupervised access to the internet for this reason.
I think they were about 16.
DD is 11 and tries but her plot is usually foiled.
Tbh if you give them the access you can't complain when it goes wrong.

Sparky: Appreciate that things can be misinterpreted and your H was just A Bit Cross. Presumably your DC was just A Bit Put Out rather than in tears?

There were tears. She's 7. We settled things quickly. I just wanted to try and understand other people's approaches when their children come across adult themes. Overtly adult themes are much easier to stumble across than they used to be. Our Dd asks questions about anything she doesn't understand.
