Today, I found out that my daughter has been watching Supernatural and The X-Files so she'll fit in better at school. I'm not even angry that she's suddenly a brain-dead conformist, it's just that she now has nightmares all the time and insists on sleeping in my bed. She's a kicker. FML

I don't blame her for watching Supernatural. Jensen Ackles is HOT.

At least you didn't catch her listening to One Direction and Justin Bieber, and reading Twilight.That's the ultimate level of brain-dead.

You deserve this. Either tell your child she needs to grow up and sleep in her own bed or she has to stop watching Supernatural and X-Files. Seeing as those are for 13+ I'm guessing she's at least a teen. She shouldn't be getting nightmares at that age. If she is younger then you should be smart enough to NOT LET HER WATCH THEM. Especially Supernatural has A LOT of sexual reference, and even some sex scenes.

OP - Time to be a parent and not a friend. It is your responsibility to be aware of what your children are doing and to moderate what they watch on TV. From the description of the child, she seems to be in the early part of grade school. That means you are responsible for what TV is watched. Done with my rant. Let the thumbs down begin.

tell her to read the episode summaries on wikipedia instead. then she can pretend to all her dumb friends she's watching it, and you get your bed back.

What school is op's kid in that watches the x files wtf

The fact that you just called your daughter a brain dead conformist tells me you are the coolest ******* mom ever.

Perhaps it's time to start "parenting" and teach your daughter about consequences. Why are you ALLOWING this behavior to continue? I don't mean allowing her to watch TV, but you're allowing her to sleep in bed with you... She can continue to watch these shows, but must get a handle on her fears and sleep in her own bed. If she can't sleep on her own after watching them, then she can't watch them. Enforce it. Even if it means getting up to remove her from your bedroom when she sneaks in. You reinforced the behavior by letting her start sleeping in there, now you have to remedy it. YDI.

Well how old's your daughter OP? She sounds about 11 or 12. I speak from experience, the whole "conformist" thing is just a phase. And go easy on her. Kids that age can be brutal.

Most kids are pretty brain dead. Im not but thats because I have always been a loner and a loser but hey I dont have nightmares

"insists"? Ahem. Let's see, who's the parent here? Oh, apparently it's your daughter since she seems to be the one making the rules.
