Honestly,I believe it is a lot more than watching R rated films. If your parents allowed you to watch r-rated films,then i’m sure they were lenient with other things as well.A woman I worked with found out this year that her 18 year old son smokes.She didn’t realize he started at the age of 10, even though he had been stealing her cigarettes out of her purse.She didn’t have the wit to realize that,muchless realize what he was watching/doing,she was one of those moms that was busy living “their”lives.
