My parents let me watch everything as long as I didn't go around saying it to other kids who might not be as clued in.

There was uproar by a parent when I was in school, when we were at a kid party one of the kids secretly brought a dvd of the South Park movie, I had seen the movie so many times that I wasn't bothered seeing it. The parent brought up in the meeting how good it was that I didn't watch that sinful movie with the rest of them. My parents told her 'why would he need to sneak around watching it when he has it on dvd at home".

My parents felt that by not letting kids watch things created a separation that would lead to me hiding things and sneaking around.

My brother,who is only a year younger than me, wasn't as clued in so he was allowed to watch stuff within limits.

I know this doesnt work for a lot of people, but I think it was just another aspect that made my relationship with my parents more open.

Now at 28, I have some great memories going to the cinema with my parents watching movies & TV shows, my parents watch the same shows as me (my mother's favourite shows are The Sopranos, Better Call Saul, The Wire, Eastbound & Down & Vice Principals), so there is zero awkwardness when it comes to things on the screen.
