To tell DD she can only watch the film Up if she skips the first 10 mins?

[Geekster1963]

I find the first 10mins or so so sad, gets me every time.

And the film is?

I can't watch the first bit either! Or the bit when he reads the rest of the book!!

Sorry, just reread title.

How old is she?

You don’t want her to end up like Phoebe in friends.

We’ve literally just watched this. As someone who was infertile for many years, I filled up straight away.

It's so sad but it's the backstory for the entire movie so I'm not sure about making DD miss it

How old is dd?
I’d be inclined to let her watch it tbh

Depends how old she is. It's ok to get sad when watching something sad!

Lol just leave the room. Kids can handle it but it's far too sad for an adult

Only adults get upset by it. It goes over kids heads

It won’t move her in the same way, she won’t understand.

Christ, those first ten minutes, though 😭😭😭

Oh god, that is so, so sad.

She might well not find it as sad as you do. I get much more emotional about things now than I did as a child.

It’s so so sad. It my go to film when I need a big dirty get it out my system cry!

Let her watch the first bit and then go back in to enjoy together.

I’ve never seen a kid get upset by it. All the adults on the other hand, are always a mess. Mine were confused why I was crying and didn’t realise it was the movie.

I always cry ar the first ten minutes, it is so moving.

Depends how old. It completely washed over mine.

It's a very gentle way to deal with infertility and growing old and grief.
I let mine watch it and was very impressed by their questions.
You can't shelter children from the realities of dying - it's around all the time from the squashed slug to the family member passing.

Ds is totally confused as to why I sob for first 10mins of the film - it goes over his head completely!

How old is she? I’d let her watch it - kids have to learn about death, and the film has a very healthy approach to it

She’s seen it before and knows what happens, she’s six I can’t bear to watch it though!

I lost a dear friend this year and the opening music was played at his funeral. I love the movie but couldn’t face it today - let her watch it, just have the tissues ready!

I had some sudden and very important jobs that needed doing at that exact moment. I'm a sobbing mess for about half an hour after anything sad like that so as I'm 36 weeks pregnant it wasn't worth the risk today

Sorry about your friend cherry.

We had our second miscarriage on 21st December 11 years ago and went in on Christmas Eve for a D&C so I’m a bit more emotional watching it than I normally would be.

I watched it with my 3 children. I was a sobbing mess - they were completely fine. I don't think they really understand the weight of the loss at their ages - from 7 - 10.
