Ah dang it. Minipeelers want to see the FNAF movie but it's rated M. Knowing them (they love jump scares and horror themes) they could handle it, but they aren't legally allowed to so they are more than a little upset about it!
My nearly 10yo went with his Dad. He loves the games, and has no trouble separating fiction from real life. He loved it! I will admit to a moment of questioning my decision, but you know your kids best, and you know if they'll cope with a more mature film.
They're both familiar with the games and the Elder loves the books. The separating reality from fiction is an important factor isn't it. I've always been at pains to point out the difference, whether it's a scene from a movie or a picture of an influencer lol
It's a skill that not all kids have, that's for sure! I will admit I didn't see the movie with them, but my son's biggest concern wasn't any violence or bodily harm, it was that they didn't follow the story that he knows to the letter.
My daughter says it's OK as long as there's parental guidance.
I never understood what that's meant to do
As long as an adult is with the child you could see the movie. She's seen many M rated with her dad. Mostly marvel movies.
I get the rule but I don't understand how having a parent or guardian with them impacts their experience
Yeah it is weird.
So I can take a 10 and 12 yo to see an M movie as long as I'm there to watch it with them? It would be cool if I don't have to pretend they're 15. Miniest would fail, although she said she's suffering from a condition that makes her short 😂🤦🏻♀️
Yes. Exactly. Like I said to Bull my daughter has seen many marvel movies with her dad when she was younger which were rated M.
Awesome! Thanks for that, we may be seeing a movie this weekend after all!
BTW she says it's cool your taking them to FNAF. I bought them books for her and they're a favourite of hers.
Elder has most of the books I think. Loves them. It's about the only thing he's read lately that isn't about military history specialising in the Great Wars.
You got one smart cookie there my friend.
