AIBU to let my 5 year old watch home alone?

[mmmmkakshch]

So my ex husband who has zero input in anything to do with his daughter decided to pay us a visit. This is the first time hes seen her in almost 7 weeks

My 5 year is obsessed with home alone. Like obsessed. Weve probably watched it every day since the end of october.
Anyway he decided to offer me some parenting advice and told me how unsuitable it is and how much she shouldn't be watching it.
So I just wondered what other people thought?

your ex is an arsehole

ands it’s a PG so totally up to you

Our now 34,36, & 38 year old dds loved this movie at 3,5, &7. I don’t see anything is wrong with it.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for a lot of children at that age but clearly your child enjoys it and your ex is an arse. I wouldn’t be having it on every day though, they’ve watched the whole film every day since October??

It's a PG, so it's down to parents and you will get differing opinions depending on the parents values and whether their kids can handle it. There's the odd word, bitch, hell, crap from memory, that kind of thing, the shooting scene (not real shooting, but my kids hadn't ever watched anything like that at 5!) and just the concept of being left by your parents would have upset one of my kids at 5. But some kids are just more resilient than others, and some kids can be relied upon from an early age not to casually repeat language they see in films!

Clearly you and your ex would have made different decisions which I guess is tricky but if it's on one parents watch they get to make the calls! I certainly don't think you've done anything wrong.

It's slapstick comedy.
Isn't 5 the perfect age group for that?
I remember when my daughter was around 5/6 (just over 10 years ago) half her class was obsessed with old repeats of You've Been Framed 😂

I quite like Home Alone but there are bits of it that really upset me. I can't watch the bit where he gets hold of the burning hot door handle. And a few of the other horrible bits.
It didn't bother my son and he watched it from quite young , although not as young as 5..
It's me that's the scardy cat.
