My Friend's Mom Is A Push-Over

forget this you can lock it

 

I'm sorry...But your friend's mom is a HUGE pushover...A mom is always supposed to check and ask what material a show, movie, or song contains before they let their kid watch or listen to it.

Your friend's mom isn't even being a mom at all if she doesn't even do that.

 

Not really. I mean, it's a simple misunderstanding for a person to make, if their daughter says that she's watching this new cartoon and they do nothing about it. She may just not have realized the EXTENT to which there is graphic content in that series, and just assumed that since it was a cartoon....

Anyway, Elfen Lied is an awesome series and I personally loved it, also why is this in help with life. Do you need help with your life because of this?

 

That's possible. And yeah, this should go in the discussion section.

 

Lol if my mum looked at the content and I was only 10 year old, she would go belistic! LOL I am not allowed to watch R (Aus classification, not American) and and I am only a year off >.< (okay that is different.... hahaha xD)

 

I don't think she is a push-over.

Though I am slightly biased considering I never really found Elfen Lied to be all that shocking.

If you consider what people are faced with in the ordinary media day in and day out, then I don't see what is wrong with it. True EL does touch on some pretty upsetting issues but nothing that we don't see in the news daily.

Besides, its not like her mom is letting her run around watching adult films and ****.

 

If I get it right, you think that her mom's a pushover because she didn't know where her daughter was watching? There are many mistakes a parent can make, but I don't think her mother could have done this by herself... Or she just had to ask her what she had been watching this afternoon at dinner.

 

I wasn't trying to be rude you understand. I was just saying that a mother is always supposed to check and see what material a show has before they let their kid watch it...At least that's what I've heard.

 

I agree completely.
You see, she's always watching whatever anime show she wants, and her mom doesn't care. And it's not just that that I'm upset with her about.

She listens to nasty songs with cuss words in them, and her mom knows THAT.
She just lets her listen to any song she wants to hear. I asked her why and she said because those songs have good beats......

She thinks she's mature enough to handle these types of things---but she isn't!!!!

I've met her mom and i thought she was very nice, but maybe she's just TOO nice.

 

well i've never heard of elfen lied. but it cant be as graphic as: ìs :, yu-gi-oh, or the: looney tunes: shes not being a bad mother. its the person who showed her that. thats the person u should be angry at.




o my god. did u just see that. he stole the man's looney tuneys.

 

It honestly depends. Their personal bond of trust may be strong enough for her mother to trust what her daughter has chosen, and this may be through psychological experiences. I would not necessarily call her a "pushover", seeing as this scenario may depend more on trust, but nevertheless I do hope she still watches out for her daughter once in a while.

 

Wow. O.O That anime was definitely not for her age..... wow.

 

Yeah, she is ..those asians are really creative >>

 

Has she done any other stuff like that??

I wouldn't call that one incident, her Mom being a push-over, I'd say it's more of her Mom being care-less.

 

that is one creepy show

 

Show?? What?? I'm confused :/gasp:

 

the show Elfen Leid its just a creepy show

 

Okaaay. No offence, but that doesn't really help.

Anyone.

 

yea but overall she sounds ok..maybe a little odd watching those shows

 

Wait, if I just understood you correctly you just said Looney Tunes and Yu-Gi-Oh! are more graphic than Elfen Lied.

...
.......

Yeah, um, anyway.

I'm going to go ahead and be honest and say that if I decided I wanted to watch a 'mature' anime and my mom researched it without my knowing and suddenly told me I couldn't, I would just be even more determined to watch it.
That doesn't mean I think her mom was correct for not trying to keep her away from things she's not ready to handle, but I think that at the moment she discovered Elfen Lied, there wasn't all that much her mom could do without monitoring her 24/7, which is practically impossible.
I have a mom who has been pretty shielding for most of my life, and yet I still got involved in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni to the point it became my favorite show. She couldn't really do anything about it; I didn't mention it to her for a while. She knows I watch it now, though, and I think she realizes I can handle it.
Perhaps it's nearly the same situation with your friend? I watch new anime periodically so when I mention to my mom I'm watching a new one, she doesn't think much of it. Her mom may or may not realize that these shows come from a culture where animation can be just as violent and explicit as some live action shows and films here.
Also, Kairi~Sora, you're ten years old? Kudos, you type like you're older than that.
