My parents and grandparents joined us here for Thanksgiving. It was a nice time - but I was ready for them to head out. About 3 days is it for us!
My mom is obssessed with the movie Annie. Apparently my neice loves the movie and my mom is her sitter, so they watch it daily. Well, she tried talking to C/D about it. They've never seen it. She continued to tell them the WHOLE story. How mean the orphanage lady is - how she tried to sell Annie, lied about her birth parents. OMG. I finally got them out of the room and she yelled - I promise we'll watch it at Christmas - it's such a fun movie!
Ummmmm....I refuse to fight with her - but am I crazy? It does NOT seem like a fun movie for my kids to watch - they lived crap like that. Plus, the idea that a rich man will come in and "save" your life...I'm not sure that is a message I want my two AD kids to get. They still believe they'll be going elsewhere and both have no stranger danger issues. I can just see them walking up to rich looking men and asking to be taken home.
If I'm nuts - let me know. But, if you think I could be right...what should I say or do to not let them watch it? We'll be there for 3 days - I don't know how to handle it without a huge fight. My parents do not believe in AD and have always had issues with adoption in general...
I know that we could just NOT go home for Christmas - but that isn't an option at this point!
