My 12yr old SD came to me and said she wanted to do a comic book about her dad's life for Father's Day. I told her it was a great idea and she asked about some facts and dates she needed. I gave them to her. She went back to her moms and I guess her mom helped her with the rest. Well she presented it today and it said how DH met her mom and when they married. Then it shows them laying in bed side by side with a white block over their bodies with "Censored" across it. Then the next strip says, that she and her twin brother came along. She then goes into how they were fighting and divorced. Fast forward...she says how DH met me, when we married then how our four children followed.
My issue is with them laying in bed with a censor strip over their bodies. Really? Was that necessary? I get that it was digitally animated and only made to look like us all, but I felt like it was not in good taste seeing I wanted to frame it on the wall. Second, I don't want our 6 yr old twins or 4 year old or at some point the baby seeing it either. That is not a conversation I want to have at their age when they ask what that means.
So am I being petty because it's them and it wasn't us or do you think she should have put that in. AND shouldn't her mother who helped her of said, "I don't think so!"
Re: Would love some honest opinions (sorry long)
As for the comic itself. I wouldn't toss it but I probably wouldn't hang it on my wall either. I'd put it aside, explain to SD your feelings onthe image and that your uncomfortable with the LO seeing that image and later. Emphasize that you are not getting rid of it (i could see this becoming a situation which she resents you for it if she thinks it's gone for good) and that you are just going to put it away until later.
