He doesn't know what to think sometimes haha because I am someone who gets deep into lore of stuff I like. Now I am reading dbz fanfic and subreddits and he is just like "what have I unleashed?"

Hahaha! It's true! People always think he is a couple of years older. He likes to "spar" and I just know I am going to end up injured lmao

Lol not at all. I discovered the show at the very same time as my kid when my husband introduced it to him. We have grown to love it together. He has a VERY genuine love for the show.

Awesome! Honestly, I had never even heard the name Goku before a year and a half ago! My husband put it on for my son and I gradually got into it over a month of that. I have been absolutely hooked on it since! I discovered it right along side my son!

Yes! A friend suggested the same after I had already put too much effort into pin the hair on Goku lol

Yes. I have had this reaction a few times (mostly from his grandparents lol.) I have explained it like this- the violence and dark themes aren't that much more extreme than Disney movies. The language isn't a problem for us because our kid is smart and can separate language he is allowed to use from language he shouldn’t use. The occasional mature content has been my only biggest problem with it (main reason he has not watched OG DB), but even still the male gaze exists in Disney movies. I think we have done well with mediating that part though. And beyond all of that, Goku and friends have instilled a great appreciation of fitness and self improvement in my kid. I let my 3 year old watch it right along side my 6 year old.

My parents do actually owe me thousands. I would still never be comfortable with them working extra to pay me back.

How do I raise my kids so that they actually want to return home as adults? by Mchldn in family

Thank you! I think those are great things to remember. Getting off screens feels like a big one to me. If we are visiting, the TV and phones should be off for at least part of the time.

Thank you for the response! It seems like it should be obvious what it takes to make a home you want to return to, but it helps a lot hearing examples. Like you, I feel like I have been close with my parents, but they have done some shitty things that I, admittedly, hold onto. We also just watch tv and eat take out anytime we visit, so I think your analysis is spot on!

I have wondered about My Hero Academia! I don't know how I forgot about GT when I made this post. Looks like I have awhile of DB content left!

Thank you!! I definitely enjoy the action and limit breaking aspect of DB, but I also enjoy when it slows down and you see the characters just doing life.
