Parental guidance on films

[Asart43]

DH wants our 5 year old to watch the avenger films with him.

I have said I don't want him watching them as he's too young. Think most of them are rated 12.
DH thinks as there isn't too much gore they are fine and I'm being precious but I still think they are to old in content for a 5 year old to watch and just unnecessary.

Anyway I came home today and DS told me he has watched Thor.

Aibu to be pissed of with DH? I'm mostly annoyed that he went behind my back and watched it when I went out!!

Why dont you want him to watch them?

My ds has been watching the Jurassic Park films since he was about 2!! At 5 he is more than fine. Older dc also watched them young.
Yabu to tell your dh he can't make his own parenting decision...

My 5 yr old has been around the Avengers films because my older DD is 11. The biggest problems with the films are the length and complexity of the plot. My 5 yr old just gets totally bored within the 1st 20 mins and wanders off or nags to put something else on, so we end up waiting til he’s in bed so DD (and us!) can watch them in peace.

Do t think your DS will have seen anything particularly distressing, but if DH was aware you didn’t want him to watch them it’s pretty out of order that he put one on without your knowledge.

don’t think

my 5 yr old loves the marvel films ! dont be such an old misery lol

If you’re not sure, common sense media is always a good place to start.

It's less about the actual films it's more the fact that I've said I don't want him to and he's done it anyway.

We are usually on the same page as far as parenting goes but I think if there was something my DH didn't want my DS to do I would respect that.

But it's good to know that they aren't that bad and I can probably relax about him watching them in future!

Common sense media is quite good for a description of what is in each film. They also have an age guidance based on children's and separately parent's advise. You can also tell why it got its rating e.g. bad language/violence/sex etc.

Sorry ... I am just staggered that people are condoning children watching movie rated 13 for scenes of prolonged violence....

I would be fuming at the idea that a responsible adult thinks it is appropriate ..
