To say no supernatural ?

[slingbat]

My husband wanted to watch supernatural this morning in the living room . I said he shouldn’t because we have three children all under 7 wandering in and out between the living room and dining room and it’s a scary programme . Now he’s huffing and saying it’s like a prison living here . Aibu or should he really leave it till some other time when the kids aren’t around ?

YANBU. He’s being a self-absorbed, childish idiot.

Some episodes are more scary than others. I'd be thrilled if anyone in my house wanted to watch Supernatural!

Yanbu to want him to be considerate though.

Thanks . I feel a bit harsh telling him what he can and can’t do but also feel that he should surely use his common sense and realise that it’s not appropriate!

Sounds like a shed with a TV would be useful....

I love Supernatural but I wouldn't have watched it until the kids were in bed.

DS is10 and has started to come down after being tucked in saying he can't sleep. I let him watch 10mins tv with me and then send him back up. On some of these occasions I have been watching supernatural but my hand is firmly on the pause button just in case.

Love Supernatural but only just letting my 13 year old watch it as quite scary sometimes. However as I am working full time it is hard to get time to watch stuff so I understand why he might be annoyed. Take kids out for an hour and a half for a play and he does the same for you. Used to work in our house when we had little ones.

The dvds are rated 15, so it certainly is not appropriate viewing for your children. He needs to give his head a wobble if he thinks it it suitable viewing for children.

I would have offered to take them out but I’m suffering horrendous SPD and can’t really walk very far . Plus we had plans to sort out the kids bedrooms today . He works 3pm - 11pm 6 days a week so it’s not like he never gets to watch it , he often does when the kids are at school .

YANBU he could wait. Its not urgent is it? He was being selfish. Young children shouldn't be watching it. I watch it and some of it scares me.

Considering Deans most common phrase is "son of a bitch" it's probably not the best idea.

'Considering Deans most common phrase is "son of a bitch" it's probably not the best idea.'

And the word 'dick' is bandied about a bit, definitely not for the under 7s. Saying that, I lurve Supernatural. Looking forward to the spin-off too.

Ooh what's supernatural about? I'm looking for a new series... sorry to change subject!

He equates living with his wife and children to living in a "prison?" I'd tell this twat to leave if that's how he feels, and to be careful that the cell door doesn't knock him on his ass on the way out.

I LOVE supernatural. My youngest is 7. Wouldn't watch it with her in the room. Some episodes are truly scary or dark and twisted.

Supernatural is great fun- but not for under 14s. Id worry that he doesn’t have the judgement to look after your DCs. What will he let them watch in the future?

Yanbu I love supernatural but I wouldn't watch it with my toddler in the room and probably not until he was a teenager. It's totally inappropriate tv for little ones.

I am 36 and couldn't watch it! Was traumatised by ghost stories in school aged about 6 or 7 and used to regularly appear next to my parents bed (in spooky fashion) to demand: "Are you sure there's no such thing as ghosts??"

If I say I've had a bad dream now my dad and brother ask if it's ghost related

We are only just letting our 13yo watch supernatural.

He is acting like a twat.

TV on in the day is only for extremis imo- illness, snowed in, big live events.
