A few observations from a mom's perspective: First, I am so tired of all the movies that make parents look like absolute imbeciles and totally clueless. Are we really that bad? Are our kids trying to tell us something? I don't know, maybe all these film writers are trying to work through disappointing childhoods.
I am also so tired of the kids in these movies living their lives virtually apart from their parents. Do the parents not even check up on the kids to see what they're up to?
I guess I'm oversensitive on parenting as I see it in our media. If there were no issues I guess there would be no stories. And the movies I have seen always end with a special bond made between child and parent so that's good.
But one thing I have learned from all these movies: Listen to your children, always. Especially if they tell you there are aliens in the attic. :)
