Oh dear, Mama22gs, hugs to you and your son!
In terms of Oops moments, In retrospect letting DS watch The Little Mermaid was a big mistake. He has taken the fish are friends not food rule WAY to far. For several years, if DH and I had fish for dinner, he would scream and then fall apart because we were eating Nimo's friends. No amount of reasoning helped. Today, he still won't eat fish but at least manages not to gag if he sees it on the table.
In my family I am constantly ridiculed for leaving the theater in the middle of Pete's Dragon when I was 13. (of course, I left in the middle of almost every movie they ever took me to see.) To this day, I haven't been able to get them to realize that the movie made me too sad, NOT scared. Reading the above posts, I am better able to understand why I reacted the way I did to movies
