here's an email from a lady which i love i we don't get to hear from the ladies
it's a
goddamn sausage fest over here fucking bratwurst on the fire every goddamn
podcast here um
he's just a fucker sometime where the hell is it
uh sometimes on friday nights i like to watch scary movies with my husband and
kids
my husband always gets pissed off halfway through the movie about me being a
horrible parent
and ushers the children out of the room these are thriller movies not gore or
extreme violence
our boys are 7 and 11 they are well adjusted good boys they are on the honor
roll at school
we are involved parents and eat a family dinner together every night all right
well looks like
you're crushing it so far we are not parents that expose them to everything and
anything but they
do get spoken to about real shit my issue is my husband lets them play fortnight
call of duty
listen to eminem and all alternative rock music yeah well what the fuck they
can't watch a thriller at
that point they even hear your podcast i'm fucking sick of being told i'm a bad
parent because well
first of all if you're going to try to get your partner to hear what you're
saying and how you feel
you can't say that they're a bad parent um who the fuck's going to be listening
after that you're going
to get offended you're going to get defensive and then that's going to be the
end of any sort of uh
logical conversation right anyways i want to he said because i want to expose
them to scary movies on
occasion it's something my sister and i always did growing up with my dad and
we were not messed up
from it my husband says that because i work with children as a school
administrator i should know not
to expose their minds to this because it will fuck them up and they're playing
i don't even know what
fortnight is but i imagine that's one of those gun games and they listen to eminems
and in this
fucking podcast um i wouldn't let my kid listen to this podcast uh my husband
says
he will persevere on this topic until i want to punch him in the face instead
he ruins the movie
and the kids leave the room and i go to bed what are your thoughts on this am i
a horrible mom keep in
mind if there's a sex scene it's fast forwarded thank you um
he's a hypocrite
it's like he can expose him to fucked up shit because he's into that stuff
fortnight call of duty listening to eminem i don't want alt rock has to do with
anything but
i know i think they'll be all right you know and i used to watch those fucking
movies
i was fine um like i understand him not wanting them to watch those movies i
get that
but not if you're also letting them do the other stuff
so what i would try to do is just sit down say listen i want to talk to you
about this because we
keep fighting about these movies um and this is a question i don't want you to
get upset i'm just
asking because i want to find a solution and not have a fight here um
why do you feel that thrillers movies are bad for them to watch but it's not
bad for them to play
violent video games or listen to eminem or the monday morning podcast
and if he hops and pops and gets mad then then he's he's a baby
and what you have to do then is keep your cool
and as he flips out don't flip out you have to remain calm
and just sit there and be like you know you got to be like ben kingsley and
sexy beast
like why are you swearing i'm not swearing you stay in that thing like why are
you raising your
voice i'm not raising your voice i'm trying to find a solution here and you're
you know your name
calling and you're doing all of this stuff like this isn't acceptable maybe you
know when you calm
down and you want to talk about this all right i am more than willing if you
can give me a logical
reason i'm more than willing to stop doing this but if you can't give me a
logical reason
i'm going to continue the tradition of watching the movies like i did with my
dad with my kids and
you're not going to come in and ruin them and tell me that i'm a horrible
parent
yeah you know what you need to put your foot down sweetheart
okay
yeah like that i mean as far from where i'm sitting that guy doesn't have a leg
to stand on
i would i would think that sitting there watching some stupid thriller movie is
not as bad as
fucking playing a video game where you're shooting people because i remember i
used to play video
games right and they were just taking up too much of my time so i literally
unplugged the thing
and stuck it in the back of the closet and i unplugged all the wires because i
knew i would
never be able to figure it back out you know how to do it i didn't keep the
instruction booklet
and i never watched them again right never played them again but like i used to
play this sniper game
and when you press down on this one button it would have that you know the
sniper x and it would like
focus in on somebody's head and i played that game so much over the course of a
week i walked
down into the streets of new york and i was looking at people and i was seeing
that sniper thing on their
head now i'm not a lunatic so i didn't do anything but it was just like what
the is that
like i don't i never watched a thriller movie
you know and then walked outside and thought about you know stabbing somebody
or shooting somebody
you know why because i think the movie it's you're not as connected to it
and it's over in like 90 minutes where like you can spend a day playing a video
game just disappear
down a rabbit hole um yeah all right well you know i mean granted all i heard
was your side of
the story but um for what i'm hearing i 100 think you're in the right so good
luck with that put your
foot down but i'm telling you don't it seems like your husband is an emotional
person so when you get
with somebody like that you you it's up to you to drive the ship of emotion you
have to stay
fucking calm and if they're flipping out and you're not flipping out then they
just look like an idiot
