AIBU not to understand the “ friends “ for kids hype.

[Whattheactual20201]

A lot of people recently saying how much their young kids ( 6-8) love watching friends. Lots of clothes for children appearing. I don’t understand it I mean I don’t allow mine to watch as I don’t think it’s appropriate and if the kids don’t get the inappropriate bits then what is funny about 6 adults lives if they actually have no idea what the funny bits mean 🤣🤷‍♀️

Sorry I am stressed and can’t sleep so a debate is always helpful haha !

When I was 10 I was obsessed with Dirty Dancing! Abortions and multiple sex scences...I seem to have turned out (almost) normal.

Friends is TAME compared to something like that!

Yes! I remember my friend’s older sister and her mates watching it every Saturday night - they’d have been about 10/11. They used to like trying to copy the dance moves, not sure what they knew about the other bits

I didn't get the Penny storyline of course, but I used to watch the sex scenes when my parents were out, haha!

I've seen the clothes in Marks and Spencers- bizarre! My DD at 7 was still watching, 'Room on a Broom'!

I was primary school age when it was on the first time around and I remember lots of the girls in my class had Friends pencil cases, and they’d chat about which one of them would be Rachel, Monica or Pheobe. So it’s not a new thing! Although I don’t think it’s appropriate at all for that age group, and I don’t think I was allowed to watch it. My mum hated me watching Byker Grove and that WAS aimed at kids.
