Neighbors kid wants my mom to buy her an R rated movie?
My mom lives with me. My neighbor's 15 year old daughter came over crying about an hour ago. She walked in and went right to my mom. She leaned over and whispered something to her. Mom got up went to her room, came out and handed the girl and she left. Mom said she asked to borrow and said "if you give it to me you have to promise not to tell my parents."
An hour later she comes back, still crying but not as much, more like sobbing ... she walks in, right to my mom and gives her the back and leans over and whispers to her. My mom then asks me if we have the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I told he we don't and I walked into the kitchen. I figured if I wasn't in the room she might talk to my mom more freely, instead of whispering.
A minute or so later the girl leaves and I go back to the living room and ask my mom what she wanted this time. She tells me the girl told her that Walmart has the movie on sale, a special double pack or something like that and she wanted the to go to Walmart with her dad and she was going to sneak and buy the movie without him seeing because she'd be in so much trouble if she had this movie in her possession. But then her dad decided he wasn't going to Walmart so she came back here and asked my mom to go to Walmart and buy it for her.
This is a weird kid to begin with. She's home schooled (nothing against home schooling, I'm just saying), she's a little slow, she's got a body odor problem and bad breath ... but you'd never know it by looking at her. She's always dressed nicely and looks clean. She follows her 6 year old sister around like they're glued together. She's just an odd bird, as my mom said.
Anyway, my mom told her she'd get her the movie!!! I couldn't believe it. I told her I think she shoud absolutely NOT go and buy her this movie. To not get involved any further, AT ALL. And if this kid comes back I forbid her to even answer the door. She kinda laughed at me, but I'm dead serious.
I know this sounds crazy, but does anyone have any thoughts on this? Why was she crying? Why does she want to see this movie so bad? Would you tell her parents what she did and asked for?
My mom thinks it's all harmless kid stuff, but I'm not so sure. And I don't know (if anything) to do.
Thanks in advance for your advice/suggestions!
pink dragon: That's exactly what I was thinking. And we're in SC. Guns are legal here and I know for a fact that there are guns in her house. A few months back the 6 year old got hold of one. Nothing happened and it wasn't loaded ... but still. I have a 5 year old daughter and I won't let her anywhere near thier house. (They're actually 3 houses down, not right next door)
tapestry6: I KNOW, that IS a sick movie. That's what has me so concerned. I mean, it would be different if it was Iron Man or Indiana Jones, but Texas Chainsaw Massacre? What does a 15 year old girl need to see that movie so bad for?
After reading all of these answers and thinking about it and thinking back on the past 18 months (we've only lived here for a year and a half) and the other incidents with this girl ... I went down and spoke with my mom and again told her that she's totally wrong for agreeing to buy her that movie. And she just laughs and said she's harmless, it's no big deal, etc.
I told her I'm going to the parents when they get home tonight and she doesnt believe me. But I am, absolutely. This just too weird. God forbid something were to happen to someone or even herself ... you never know.

I’m with you on this one. Your mother is opening a huge can of worms by catering to this girl, and it won’t end. She will keep coming over to get your mother to do things for her. Pretty soon it will be asking her to buy alcohol. Your mother thinks it is funny but it isnt. Her parents have their reasons for making the rules they make and your mother is undermining their authority. She is dead wrong. I think you should tell the parents what is going on and let them know you will not be letting their daughter into your house if you can help it.
just tell them
I agree a hundred percent with you,tell your Mother she should stay out of it,all i know, is,if i told my kid no and someone else did it for them, all sh– would hit the fan.And I’m sure your mother would feel the same.
tell her mom.
Put yourself in her parents place. Would you want to know what is going on. And I agree with you that your mother should not buy this movie for the girl. If she had to sneak it from her parents, it is obvious that her parents would not approve. Her parents have the right to decide what type of movie the want their kids to see and not see. Your mom doesn’t have the right to go behind their backs.
Red.
your mom probably just feels sorry for her and wants to do some thing nice. but if this kid is a little strange to begin with i’d be worried. like why does she want to see that of all things is she planning on killing someone. i would just discreetly tell the parents what is going on without dragging your name in it. you don’t want to be involved either, you might become on the girls hit list! i’m just saying if your labeled as an odd bird and you want to watch texas chainsaw massacre there has to be something really wrong with you. i personally would not want to get on someone like that’s bad side, if you know what i mean.
The neighbor girl is manipulating your mother. Ask mom how she’d felt if her neighbors helped you do things behind her back, things she didn’t want YOU doing.
Also, go talk to the parents. Tell them what their little girl is up to, about the money and the movie. She needs a spanking for playing head games with your mother in this way.
That is a very sick movie, your mother should be ashamed of herself, you think that girl acts odd any adult that would do that is totally odd herself!! Its NOT harmless kid stuff. I home schooled my kids both of which have great jobs and college degrees but if they had gone to the neighbour to get money to buy anything I would have slapped a restraining order on them so fast it would make their heads spin!
I take it back the kid isn’t odd she is a manipulative little brat and your mother is a guppy!
sound like she has a lot more problems than wanting to buy a movie.
I would limit her access to my house and if you have some kind of relationship with her parents I would approach them about what she is doing.
It sounds like you mother is too easily lead,so if so you may need to be more firm here.
She was probably crying because her parents wouldn’t let her get the movie and was asl probably mad because maybe her friends all saw it or something and she wanted to see it to but she wasn’t allowed. hope i helped
I’m mostly with you on this one – on one hand, unless she’s showing suicidal or psychopathic tendencies (being a little slow and having poor hygiene aren’t really terrible personality traits, and the six-year-old sister kind of thing tends to go with homeschooling, I should know, LOL) or does something like torturing animals I wouldn’t worry too much about her.
She’s probably just curious about it because she’s been sheltered from that kind of stuff, or there’s some sort of social pressure for her to see it. Either way, if she comes back, I’d suggest telling her you don’t have it because it’s a lousy movie (in an attempt to diminish her interest in it), and offer to let her borrow something fun and age-appropriate, like Iron Man or Indiana Jones like you mentioned, instead.
body odor is nasty that is why i always take a bath twice a day..~,
