certain buttons i absolutely loved pushed ... especially pigtails and high heels ... or the 'holy crap' sensation i got from Cloverfield.
make no mistake - my kid understands death and we watch
certain types of horror/violence - but i am of a mindset that the real world will hit him in the face soon enough and robbing him of some of the childhood innocence before need be is not in my game plan.
he's not at a point where i could explain to him why a father who loved his son could shoot and killed him - when it turns out he didnt have to.
my kid is tough in some ways - fragile in others ..
you need to accept that - yeah - some parents are overprotective - but others are very perceptive about how some things affect their kids.
it's not going to work out the same for everyone ..
