mums and babies no longer allowed to watch grown up films!

[nicky111]

as a shellshocked new mum I often used to attend the special mother and baby screenings at our local cinema. It saved my sanity and gave me a social life (and somewhere warm and quiet to breastfeed) However thanks to the Daily Mail running a story about "toddlers watching brokeback mountain", mums are now restricted to 12A rating films only. Thanks Glasgow City Council.

WTF?! It's okay for toddlers to sit in front of violent cartoons all day, but not in a cinema showing a film about love - that they won't even pay attention to?!

Glasgow has a HUGE problem w/knife culture among children, rising obesity rates, and 11-year-olds using heroin. But they're arsed about this?!

Daily Mail scaremongering agin, surprise, surprise.

I took my one month old to see Touching the Void. Think this may be more than a 12 (???) I have seen many others that will have been I am sure. I don't think my little ones cared if anyone said fcuk or actually fcucked while they were breasfeeding and dozing their way through the screening!

How silly!

Load of bs isn't it? I took my DD to see The Edge Of Reason (Bridgit Jones flick) and thye wouldn't let me in because she was under 15 - wtf??????

I was watching Angel Heart on video the other day and DS (9 months old today) was playing with his toys. There's a scene at the end where it shows Mickey Rourke killing everyone and there's blood everywhere and DS suddenly became fascinated and watched the whole scene and I did think 'hmmmn, should he be watching this?'

just wanted to point out that there are no toddlers at the mums and babies screening. Just alot of babies. Toddlers will not sit through 2 hours of brokeback mountain ( and to be honest i found it quite difficult too..) I wouldn't let a two-yearold watch violent stuff on telly but a baby can't even make sense of the screen, let alone worry about two men kissing.
