There is something quite funny to me about parents who are responding to Turning Red in the same way Ming did to Mei.
13-year-old girls donāt act like that nor do they even like that kind of stuff.
Have you ever met a pre-teen or teenage girl? A nerdy one? Especially a confident nerdy one?
Also, more importantly were you not paying attention to the whole plot thread of how Ming didnāt really know her daughter - because she had a certain idea of who her daughter was
Mei felt like she couldnāt be open with her mother, because she felt like she was going to be judged.
Hmmm, I wonder how some of the children of these very harsh and judgmental parents might feel about telling their parents about their interests.
Itās inappropriate to talk about periods.
Ā I believe one tumblr person (I donāt know if theyāre a parent) said that āstuffā should always stay behind closed doors.
Then thereās the whole crazy idea of you should wait when it first happens or when theyāre old enough to understand.
Seriously, were you not paying attention to the whole plot point of how Ming didnāt tell Mei about the red panda spirit because she thought she had more time?
Thus, completely catching her daughter off guard and causing more problems, because Mei never expected to turn in a red panda and was woefully unprepared for that.
My child tells me everything.
Did you even watch the movie?
I donāt know you, your child nor your relationship with them, but I can guarantee you there are things they donāt tell you. Probably a lot more than you think.
Itās not even a bad thing. Theyāre growing up and want some stuff to and for themselves. Thatās normal.
Considering how harshly youāre reacting to this movie and treating it like itās the devil; Iām going to say you are a contributing factor to them hiding stuff.Ā
