[QUOTE="buddy, post: 557759, member: 12886"] I personally dont get wanting to watch those movies but I know even when Q is an adult those kinds of movies could be awful for Q. He gets stuck on wanting to act like bad guys from super hero movies and I worry that with his inability to take other's perspectives it could make him into someone like that. He has never seemed that cruel but something like that I'd worry could make him even pretend (say to people that he was going to do that) just for effect or that he would be so scared he would not sleep for a long time. He has had that happen just from news story previews on commercials. I think you are smart to say no. This sounds excessively graphic. I'd just use the "that's the rule" reason like susiestar said. May be a rule that can be bent at home but not in a theater. At least you can postpone it for now....(yeah, we all know if he is determined he may sneak and see it but a small screen is at least better than a huge dark movie theater). Glad the girlfriend is nicer this time though. Sounds like you get to communicate with the mom better too??? nice. [/QUOTE]
