I know a mum that allows her 9 year old to watch this.

I’m really interested to see how many parents are ok with this?

AIBU to be a bit shocked about this?

Yes I should mind my own business but I’d be really interested to hear others opinions

You'll be telling us it's Tesco not Tesco's next

I've had lots of conversations with people about this recently as 10yo ds claimed that "all his friends" are allowed to watch it. I think some of his friends are watching it, but the majority of those aren't actually 'allowed' to watch it, they're doing so without their parents' knowledge due to multi device Netflix subscriptions meaning they're watching it on tablets or phones.

There is no way in hell any self respecting parent should be knowingly allowing their 9yo child to watch it. The violence is extreme, and the Marbles episode would have an emotionally significant impact on most children. My ds is pretty resilient but gets very, very upset about certain characters in films so he'd have been in bits during that episode. The concepts and ideas about humanity and human nature in certain circumstances are something their brains simply can't understand and shouldn't have to see played out in graphic detail at their age.

Dsis lets 12yo niece watch it, and tbh I don't even think I'd be happy with my 12yo watching it. My niece likewise crumpled during the Marbles episode. I was quite surprised dsis knowingly allowed her to watch it.

It amazes me that parents don't know what their children are watching, it's not exactly difficult to put a PIN number on it and everyone knows 15s on there are horrible, ours is set to 12 even though I have teenagers, they moan but I don't care, at least I know they aren't watch this stuff. We have watched stranger things together and I fast forward the worst bits. Friends have access to Netflix at their houses and I have no control over what they see when they are there which I just think is lazy parenting tbh
