I know. I'm a substitute teacher and I was surprised to hear fourth graders and third graders talking about watching the show.

[buttahp]

Respect that she didn't want her 10 year old watching a show with a lot of sex and trauma content.

[harrisonblum]

she had her daughter stella in 2009 so she is 15 turning 16 this year. Her 2nd daughter sienna is 10 so she was born in 2014 so she is 10 turning 11 this year. And then her son Eli who was born 2016 so he is 8 turning 9 this year

I have ALWAYS felt this about Ellen and her child. —- so I SWEAR she had her daughter Stella in like 2007 THE VERY latest 2009 and I even remember seeing them in magazines and her daughter was like 2 for 5 years straight. Now I’m to believe she had her daughter AFTER I had mine. Nope. No. No way. Something is really off about that. Stella should be at least 17 or 18 .

watching that at 10 years old is wild!!!! u have to be at least 13-14

[malingreaney-stasiak]

Yeah, i started watching it at 17 and I thought it was weird that my friends had been watching it since like 6th grade because it’s not really appropriate for that age range lol

[Miranda-ru]

It's insane that elementary school aged children are watching shows like that. That's not normal at all. It's like she's making excuses to watch it with her kids and feel relevant.

I wouldn’t have my kids watching greys until highschool. Parents are weird these days. My kid also won’t have a cellphone or social media. I didn’t and I was fine!!!

[AmeliaTingle-ne]

My parents wouldn’t let me watch it til I turned fifteen😭😭😭#leftout

[Zay-jezo]

I'm 13 and love it, but yeah, definitely not for 10 year olds lol
