Parents want to play right?

wi
17

I'm going to Hamburg with my parents and my brother for 4 hours tomorrow. Since we have had Netflix for a few days, I would like to look over my data volume while driving. I'm not allowed to use it on my cell phone because my parents think it is too small (I have a 6 inch iPhone 11 and they look at an 18 inch device every evening from which they sit 3 meters away…). I would watch the trip on YouTube anyway because I always do. My dad is generally so far that he has not allowed me to watch Netflix alone because he always wants to watch it with me. Incidentally, I'm 14 and watch series from 16 more often (yes I know, but I'm more mature than others my age, my parents say that, too, which is why I tolerate it well). My father also says that my brother would like to have a look and then he supposedly vomits again (the last time we happened 3 years ago was when we were driving all over the Alps…). Do you think they just want to play their right or why are they doing this?

Props that you can shine on your phone while driving

Without you getting sick 😅

Ab

Weird rules you have there

I don't care, how should they know what you're looking at? Headphones in and film on

wi

I can't log in… I don't have the password…

So

To protect you? It is your parents and when they say that it is so for you

wi

Why does it protect me? I want to watch it on a 15.6 inch notebook, sorry but it's bigger than an 18 inch device at a distance of 3 meters Meter

So

Oh that's about it, sorry. No plan what the problem is there. It is weird

wi

Thanks haha but I want to see it on my laptop.

wi

But something like this… The reason is always: Because I say it like that 🙄🤦🏼♂️ I'm not primarily concerned with the fact that I can watch it, but rather why they want to annoy me… That is how it feels for me on. No reason, just annoyed and you're unlucky…

Ab

Protection? Find that pretty over the top
Now it should suddenly be a big deal to watch 14 films from 18?

Yes no, helicopter parents

So

There are parents there's nothing you can do

wi

So: First of all, the age information is the age from which the film can be sold. If the legal guardians then decide that you can already watch the film underneath, that's okay and no one is punishable. Every child is different. At 12, some already tolerate films from 16 and others not yet at 18. Basically, these are just recommendations

Ab

Exactly because of that
Do not understand what strange regulations and why parents restrict their children so much. At that time also "allowed" to play with 12 Gta San Andreas. Now there's still no parental controls for the Internet and channels are blocked on the TV.

Thankfully, God grew up without restrictions, so I just feel sorry for you

wi

How do you think I can persuade her? I really want to pass the 6 hours tomorrow…

Ab

Do not know how to deal with such people
Personally, I would just keep insisting that you won't harm anyone, just keep asking. You know your parents best

If there's no other way then look at Prostest on Youtube content over 18 xD

wi

I'm already doing xD but why are they like this? If I were grown up, I wouldn't deal with my children like that. I'm already watching something (Yt)

so

This is called "education". But that you go against the grain at 14 is understandable.

For my part, I was already glad that I had my first cell phone when I was 14. But there was nothing on YouTube or Netflix.

wi

But whether I watch YouTube or Netflix doesn't matter and has nothing to do with education… I watch videos either way, why not Netflix?
