Has anyone seen the new Disney Nature film "Monkey Kingdom?" How light/friendly is the content?
My mom is coming up to spend the day with DS on Friday and asked about taking him. I made all the points that: DS is 2, was she prepared to just light money on fire and leave before the movie even started if he wasn't into it, etc etc etc. She's level-headed and reasonable when watching him, so she already accepted all the ways it could go.
I just want to make sure that the film itself isn't scary. I know it's rated G and DS MIGHT be interested in watching monkeys for a bit (he loves monkeys jumping), but I saw that Chimp movie from 2 or 3 years ago and it was a bit dark - don't want any Tiger attacks or something.
This is ramble-y.
We took DS & he had no issues. There are 1-2 monkeys that are attacked and killed but it happens offscreen and it went way over DS's head.
You guys, I am the worst ever. I do DC drop-off and DD always runs to the window as I drive away so we can wave and blow kisses. Today I totally forget to stop and wave...until an HOUR later. I called daycare and they said she had a bit of a meltdown. Then I cried. This child has an iron-clad memory. She will never let me forget it.
I'm glad I'm WFH this morning because my crying would have been pretty distracting to my co-workers. If I wasn't waiting for carpet installation, I'd drive over there to give her a big hug. I'm half-tempted to stop there on my way into the office, but I don't want to make things worse.
MMM - what should I do?
Don't stop in. She will think it is time to go home. I know it's upsetting, but I'm sure she is fine now.
I didn't go, and she didn't show any signs of permanent damage when I picked her up tonight. I think I will be scarred for life, though!
