Parental Guidance Movie & Giveaway Pack

December 15, 2012 by Elizabeth

We’ve all been there. I grew up in a strict household as far as sugary snacks went. I begged, fruitlessly, for Cap’n Crunch and Corn Pops. I was allowed about 1/2 a slice of cake on birthdays, and I was forced to take home-made chocolate chip cookies to school, instead of the Hostess Twinkies and Ding-Dongs my soul craved. But as soon as I gave my mother grandchildren, the woman’s parenting style did an about-face. She started buying chocolate milk by the gallon (oh that I was exaggerating, but I’m not), stocking her cupboards with all the sugary cereal she could get her hands on, and offering candies by the fistful. Except that now, I’d joined the ranks of the Boringly Upright and Adult, and I didn’t want my kids to have sugar. It was a constant battle.

I’m not the first parent to clash with her own parents over parenting the grandkids. I bet we all have our own stories.

There’s a new movie out about this classic battle, and I have to say it looks really fun! Parental Guidance, starring such comic greats as Billy Crystal and Bette Midler, comes out on Christmas Day. What better way to celebrate some high-quality family time than by laughing at others family’s misadventures? You won’t want to miss it.

In honor of the release of Parental Guidance, the studio is offering a great gift pack for one of our readers! Win a $50 Visa card (you could treat your parents to the movie!) as well as other fun items listed below.

One (1) winner:

  • $50 Visa for a day at the movies
  • Retro cassette iPhone case
  • Magnetic photo frame
  • Crap at My Parents House book

Parental Guidance stars Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott.

Synopsis:

Old school grandfather Artie (Billy Crystal), who is accustomed to calling the shots, meets his match when he and his eager-to-please wife Diane (Bette Midler) agree to babysit their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents (Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott) go away for work. But when 21st century problems collide with Artie and Diane’s old school methods of tough rules, lots of love and old-fashioned games, it’s learning to bend – and not holding your ground – that binds a family together.

The movie opens Christmas Day. Check out  the official website to find out more PLUS create your with family story with Photobucket.

    I love to spoil my 5 nieces and nephews! I take them shopping as much as I can and let them pick out whatever they want! We go get ice cream and I give them a bunch of candy! And then, when they are all hyped up, I send them back to my sisters 😉 So much fun! I love my babies so much, like they are my own! They are getting so big! I only get to see them when I go visit them (usually around Christmas) and I take full advantage of it!

    Our grandson lives with us so we are both parents and grandparents which makes it difficult to spoil him like a grandma should! But I can spoil him now and then by letting him stay up a little later, fixing his favorite brownies, or greasing our way in to see his favorite NFL star for a quick visit and an autograph after the game 🙂 He’ll never forget that one!

    My son’s grandparents pretty much give him whatever he wants, and he gets some serious undivided attention. It is all good as far as I’m concerned. It makes them happy, and it makes him happy. Grandparents have earned the right to enjoy the kids and not be the bad guy. That is my job. Not that I’m the bad guy all the time, but I got the lessons I needed from my own parents. That is my job when it comes to my son.

I am the official pin setter upper! haha….about 50 times a day at least…I set up the pins..he bowls them down and I set them up again. 🙂 I am so blessed to have my sons family living with me and being able to watch my grandson grow up and change each day!
