Over the weekend we saw this cute movie at a place that sells new and used dvd's called "the lion king". The cover had a big lion on it and then they had this little baby lion being held up by a monkey in the sunlight. It looked so cute!! Then it had this scary lion on there but it looked so neat with all these animals in it. I asked my husband if Jessica and I could watch it but he said that we couldn't because it had these bad subliminal messages in it and he thought it would be too scary in some parts for us. I asked him if we could get it and then maybe he could record over the bad parts like some of our other movies but he said he couldn't do that on a dvd at home. I then asked if he would watch it with us and then tell us to close our eyes and cover our ears at the bad parts and he said he would think about it. What can I do to make him really happy so he will say yes? I need to also find a way to ask him without sounding bothersome. Any ideas?

I would never send my baby to public school or private school. I believe its part of a mommy's job to homeschool. :) However, if my son was old enough to really understand (he is a baby now) a movie I know he would be allowed to watch more movies than I would since he is male. My husband and father told me that girls cannot watch everything that guys can because they can't handle it all. Plus it might ruin their innocence. So I totally understand why I need to be protected. If it is a movie my husband likes and he says it is okay for me to watch he just tells me when to close my ears or cover my eyes. Sometimes he will cover my eyes too. I feel so protected when I am around him. *sigh*

Forget the movie dear - what you have here is an even bigger problem with your relationship. From your language, I would not be surprised to hear that your husband is sometimes violent. If so, you need some help from a Women's Group. Are you in America - if so, I cant help much - but I suspect that if you need some advice on this you could ask another question.
Good Luck
and by the way - there are no subliminal messages in the Lion King.
Ok - having read the extra text - I can see the funny side now. Well done to you - I'm not usually taken in - but I fell for this one! Ha ha ha!!!!

OK - so let me get this straight. You expect us to believe that your husband will not let you watch Lion King or even use a DVD player without his permission (which you stated in a previous question) but you have unlimited access to a computer. Your getting careless Little Angel (flushing06, bagmama06, mamabag06) and your starting to mess up your facts. Personally, I think an inmate is paying you to post these messages.

I think you know that no one believes what you're putting out there as questions. You are so ridiculous. All of your questions are now starting to have facts in them that contradict the other facts you gave, and you aren't even able to cover for the mistakes well. It's really sad. It's too bad that you're using a forum like this where people want to help (and yes I believe we all have senses of humor, but this is beyond telling a joke or asking a question that is tongue in cheek) to spout off about things that never happened just to get people riled up. There is a handful of you out there, and I like kidding around as much as anyone, but the number of responses you get to questions you post that are fake is shocking. It's shocking to me that people take you seriously. It's shocking to me that you're still allowed to post here.
I suppose I've pretty much had enough of trying to spare people the humiliation that comes with constructing a well-thought out answer or even one that's rage-filled over your pseudo-life. Even responding to your questions in any way just helps you accomplish your purpose. So that's it for me. I just hope soon enough people get a clue and either report you for this often enough or quit answering you altogether. An audience is the last thing a person who does this needs!

It sounds to me like your husband is trying to OVER PROTECT your daughter, and the movies she views. I have seen the Lion King and I can guarantee you that there are far worse things in newspapers about REAL LIFE than whats in this movie.
Your daughter is going to go to school and be taught about sex education, drugs, violence, war and many other things your husband may consider to be bad.
The Lion King is NOT a bad movie, its more funny than sad. They would not have made it a G classification with the Film Associations (meaning its for general viewing by ALL ages).
The things your daughter will learn from this movie will encourage her and educate her through her life, you cannot shelter her from EVERYTHING in the world.
Why dont you and your hubby watch this movie together, and see if you think its suitable for your daughters viewing before you let her watch it.

Movies such as the Lion King have story lines that are well thought out by the writers' at Disney. The experiences the Lion King goes through can be relayed into real life experiences that you can explain to your child. At some point in your child's life, they may come across a situation that is similar to what the Lion King went through...how nice it would be for them to have a common frame of reference to draw back on for guidance.

Hi Little Angel...
I couldn't help wondering where you're at...and what motivates your husband's hostility to "the Lion king".
These would be important background info to enable me form an unbiased, unprejudiced opinion about his point of view. I say this because I have watched all parts of the movie...Part 1, Part 2, and Part 2 1/2! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this beautiful movie for general viewing because of it's superb animation, but most importantly for it's didactic qualities,it's enduring lessons in the power of friendship, the futility of envy and for it's captivating music and sounds!
One thing you can do is suggest to your husband to see it first...then I'm sure he'd have no problems letting you see it too!
Best wishes.

First of all that is pathetic, second of all your husband is breaking the law with your so called friend jessica, he is not married to her, and if you cant make your own decisions in life then i feel sorry for you. No women in this country lives or thinks like you, wake up you are in the year 2000, not the 1700's!

The Lion King is a children's movie. Anyone should be able to watch it. Is your husband always like this? Do you know that this is not normal behavior?

You're good. You're really good. Where on earth do you come up with these questions? Just exactly how much research have you done on extreme right-wing fundamentalist families? Been visiting the backwoods Free Will Baptist church lately? lol I'm on to you. I think it's sort of funny how you are poking fun at fundamental extremism and legalism gone wrong....very very wrong. Where do you get your material? I'm very interested to know. I grew up in the deep South where situations like the ones you hypothesize in your questions are not entirely unheard of, although not to THAT extreme. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I am seeing thru your questions, and you've piqued my curiosity. :)
