Today, our 6-month-old is finally sleeping through the night. We thought we'd finally get a good night sleep ourselves, until my dumb husband fell asleep with the tv on and our 5-year-old ended up watching Saw 3 by herself. Now the 5-year-old wakes up with nightmares. FML

On the plus side, just say "I want to play a game" whenever the kid looks to be on the verge of a tantrum and you'll have the most obedient kid in history. You can live the dream of every parent ever.

Poor kid will need therapy for life.

this reminds me of when i was 6 and we had an 8 room flat, like an endless floor with doors. The living room was on one end, the parents room on the other end of the flat. I watched horror movies all night long, and i clearly remember Freddy Kruger pulling someone over the walls. I was a creepy kid, not afraid of anything, and till today i enjoy horror movies.

Haha I’m the same, watched horror movies alone from an early age, but at one time I was afraid my dolls would take revenge on me after watching Chucky, and I couldn’t shower because of IT. And I needed therapy but because of other reasons. Horror movies rock!

Wait, so you stood at the end of a long corridor just staring into the distance? Did Danny not want to play with you and your twin sister?

I'm pretty sure this would count as emotional abuse.

The kid will turn out alright, you just prepared them for the outside world. Will just be an adult with weird imagination and twisted mind. It’s all good :)

There's already enough screwed up twisted people in the world. It'd be nice to have some normal, emotionally healthy ones for a change.

Its usually the opposite. The ones protected from everything are the ones who turn out twisted. This will be one of the few kids who turn out stable.

Show him the making of the movie and make him understand that it's axting and male up. Good luck.

The same thing happened to me and Tremors when I was a kid.

Good to start them when they're young. She'll grow up loving horror movies now...

Dumb husband? Way to validate yourself for being mad at him for an unintended event. I'm sure he said to himself 'You know what will piss my wife off? If I let our 5 year old watch Saw 3.' Get over yourself. The way I see it the only 'dumb' thing about him is he puts up with someone who talks about him this way.

a) you can still get mad at unintended things.
b) I wanna see you keep your composure when your 6 month old is finally sleeping through the night (which I'd just guess was mostly mum's problem because of feeding etc) only to have it instantly replaced with a 5yo who has recurring nightmares. It's not fun being constantly sleep deprived, it's not fun seeing your kid scared and crying every night.
It might have been unintentional but the consequences still suck, so if 'dumb' is the worst thing she has to say about him, that's still being mild.

Normally a child that is scared by a show will simply stop watching it...
