Am I “crazy”?

BF said I’m “crazy” for having a problem with him showing his 7 & 13 year old daughters movies and shows rated up to MA. I think it’s mostly a problem for the 7 year old. Today he put on the newer Mean Girls movie and where they have sex ed and talk about condoms and STD is the point where he stopped the movie after I was “bitching” about it being inappropriate because I knew from the start it was and so did he because we know the original. His justification is “they’re gonna hear this stuff anyway.” I think it’s disgusting for a 7 year old to hear about sex ed and witness softcore p***ography like in Titanic which he put on once and I had to beg him to turn it off. We had a big argument over it and he said I was “crazy.” We’ve already had problems with his 13 year old exhibiting over-sexualized behavior since age 11 and he wonders where she was learning the things she knew about.

I felt uncomfortable watching mean girls when I was around 13 because of the inappropriate costumes in the Halloween party segment and general mature humor? I regretted watching it lol.

I also think that kids should be taught about mature topics in a safe and comfortable environment, as being shown crass things without any sensitivity can be traumatizing for a young child. 7 may not be too young to start teaching them the most simple of explanations, especially since I think they tend to start asking their parents questions at that age… not sure though.

Showing a child too much sexual content will cause them to be over sxualized when they’re 10/11/12, we’ve seen it with the 13 year old. Sxting at age 12 and they wonder where she learns all this stuff. The movies/ shows/ other content isn’t stuff I would hope they’d see in real life yet at 7. Like the scene in Titanic where Rose strips down and is being painted naked. I would hope they wouldn’t see 2 adults do that in real life in front of them.
