Pixar movies, a lot of Disney movies... I want to be there for their first viewings of ET, Star Wars, Harry Potter... Any of the big "iconic" movies of my childhood. I want to be the one to share that first time with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603285 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 13:26:11 +0000 psw27 2603285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't think so. Except if I was excited to see something and someone else took him instead of me. He's only 2 so this isn't really an issue yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603253 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 12:08:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2603253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603117 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:04:26 +0000 caterw 2603117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh. Nah. I did want to be the first to take DD to her first in theater movie (which I did) but other movies I don't really care about her watching it with someone else first. I care more about making sure she isn't watching stuff that is too advanced or that will scare her (which can be totally random- for instance she is scared of cartoon stepmothers but not dinosaurs or live nature shows where animals get eaten) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603064 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 07:28:56 +0000 looch 2603064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to watch in advance, just so I am aware of the content, but otherwise, this kind of stuff doesn't matter to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603062 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 07:24:03 +0000 Bao 2603062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: oh my gosh! Ok, people better back off then, that movie is mine :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603043 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 06:54:13 +0000 Cole 2603043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, we aren't there yet but I think the only one I'd mind is The Little Mermaid. Other than that I'm not terribly attached to movies. I might be mildly bummed about missing a fun outing with them but not the same way I would feel if someone gave her a gift I wanted to give or took her somewhere special without me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603035 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 06:32:29 +0000 travelgirl1 2603035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably do care actually, stuff from my own childhood, like Mary Poppins and a few Christmas movies I loved. More modern movies, I probably wouldn't bother about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603028 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 06:05:54 +0000 avivoca 2603028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All i care about is that I am the first to take her to a movie in the theater and that I get to approve which movies others are letting her watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2603026 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 05:59:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2603026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I'm not really into kids movies. I would like to make his first movie theatre experience special, but other than movies are fair game when he is little. There are certain movies as he becomes older that I would prefer he sees with me because I would frame the discussion around the movie in a much more PC/ inclusive way than my family would. "Do The Right Thing" comes to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602982 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:48:55 +0000 ALV91711 2602982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel this way. There are movies I want to watch with him but if it is not me first that is fine. I know he'll watch them 100 times anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602965 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:01:43 +0000 PinkElephant 2602965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I feel this way about books, but don't have the same sentimental attachment to any movie I can think of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602958 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 22:31:43 +0000 hellocupcake 2602958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Toy Story 4 comes out June 2018 ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602944 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 21:28:02 +0000 Corduroy 2602944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed LO1's first 3 movie theater movies. DH's family likes movies so he's sort of taken that role. His sister is in on it too. Since LO2 is too young I generally sit it out. However, I refused to miss Finding Dory on our last trip when SIL announced she was taking LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602899 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 20:23:19 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2602899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely be angry if someone else watched Star Wars with her first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602897 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 20:20:25 +0000 SweetCaroline 2602897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, I would be sad if she watched some classic Disney or Pixar movies with someone else for the first time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602894 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 20:17:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 2602894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far just Frozen. We tried watching it with my now 3 year old a few months ago and she didn't really care. But now she's obsessed with Anna and Elsa and Olaf so I want to try watching with her again. I'd be sad if she watched with someone other than me or DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602866 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 19:54:15 +0000 Bao 2602866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely depends on the movie, but I'm so attached to Nemo that I would be heartbroken if they watched Finding Dory with someone else. If there were to be another Toy Story some day, same thing...I would be bummed. So just with certain ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-if-others-watch-certain-movies-with-your-lo-first#post-2602860 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 19:49:46 +0000 mrbee 2602860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of a spinoff of Bao's thread about others giving special gifts to your LO!</p> <p>I don't mind *at all* when someone gives a special gift to my kids. In fact, I love it! So I was surprised how sad I was when someone else watched Finding Dory with my kids without inviting me. I remember watching Finding Nemo years ago, and thinking how much fun it would be to watch it with my own kids some day.</p> <p>So I guess I am not consistent on this topic! There are a few special movies that I can't wait to share with my kids. Star Wars, some Pixar movies, and some of the early Indiana Jones ha.</p> <p>Do you care if others watch certain movies with your LO first? If so, what movies are you hoping to share with your LO? </p>
