Should Stan Have Given His Son The Kim Kardashian Tape?
Ok, so here’s the deal. Stanley T had a son with another woman before his current family, Andrew. He only gets to see his oldest son (17 years old) during the summer and some holidays, which means they don’t have that much time to bond. Stan is very honest with his kids and when he has discussions with them they are relatively open, honest and adult like.
Andrew knows Stan meets a lot of people working on The Morning Mash Up and asked if he had met Kim Kardashian. Stan said yes, and then Andrew proceeded to ask if had seen her sex tape. Stan again answered yes, and then Andrew asked if he had the tape. After thinking for a split second Stan said “yes son, I do have the tape.” His son then asked if he could see the tape. After thinking for another split second Stan agreed to let his son Andrew watch the tape. Although, he did give specific instructions to watch it in private, and not with any of his younger brothers or sisters, or his mother, around. This was something he should watch in private.

Nicole thinks this is something really weird and out of line. Dad’s should not be giving their sons any tapes or magazines of this kind. Normally, boys tend to find and learn about this stuff on their own. Stan, on the other hand, thinks this tape is more of a representation of what a boyfriend and girlfriend do in private, and not as the stuff that gets specifically produced and passed off as such. Also, Rich and Ryan agree that it is the role of Stanley T to educate his son about this stuff. They also think that Stan is a cool dad for being so honest with his kids, and really having a large role in everything they are learning. Rich and Ryan can’t even broach the subject with their family, it’s way to awkward.
Do you think Nicole is right for thinking Stan shouldn’t have given his son Andrew the Kim Kardashian tape? Is Stan just a really involved, and honest father who wants to make sure he teaches his kids as best he can? We’re sure most of us had to learn about sexy time on our own, but we’re curious if you learned on your own or if you parents had anything to do with your learning of the “birds and the bees?”

I think it’s great that Stan and his son have the type of father-son relationship where they are both okay with this! If you look at it the other way around, with over-protective parents, I think kids are more apt to rebel because they’re so green to all of these things they’ve been kept from.
My Dad and I have a great relationship and we always have. However, if he wasn’t as lenient as he was when I was growing up, who knows if I would be the same?
With all respect to Nicole, I think you have to be a parent of a teenager to really know what you would do in this situation. When my now 15 year old son was younger I would probably have agreed with Nicole, but now I am totally with Stan on this. You want your kids to feel that you are the person they will turn to firsþ with their questions and curiosity. Stanley’s son would have gotten it somewhere else and hidden it from Stanley. With teenagers the most important thing is open communication and helping them see right from wrong. Maybe Andrew learned not to ever tape his “fun” cause who knows where it will turn up!
im kinda in between on this. no stan shouldnt have given his son the tape but also its good that he and his son have that honest relationship.
well the son is 17 and i am sure he’s seen plenty of this already. had stan said no… the son might have found it anyway. i think its great that they have an open/honest relationship. some people might be very upset about this…but ppl be realistic….teenage boys have a way of getting their hands on this stuff at an earlier age than 17, whether is be from snooping through dad’s things…or a friend snooping through their dads things……
I think it is great that he has a bond with his son, and I think
it is great he is open and honest and not bashful with his son when
it cones to stuff like this. My dad is so old school and shy and would
of never even talked to me about this which sucked, I never was able
to go to him with stuff like that he would blow me off. So I say bravo
I think it’s great to be open, it makes things easier for the kids
and let’s him know he doesn’t have to be scared to talk to dad.
I feel that if you make things appear “off limits” kids want it more… thus they will find a way to get it. I think I find it more odd that Nicole, who walks around naked in front of her dad and has no children, thinks Stanley is wrong about this.
I’m on a fence on this one. Stan shouldn’t have given up the tape, but if his son really wanted to see it, he’d find it. I think tv and the web have played a really bad view to kids of what the world views as “fun” and “normal” along with all these stupid reality shows that really aren’t “reality”. If we don’t… Read More have the parents being the “parents” at home, our kids end up knocking over liquour stores, knocking up girls (and the girls think raising babies is “fun” “let’s play house”), and killing people over tennis shoes.
Stan – use this opportunity to teach him respect for women. If he don’t learn it from you, he’ll learn it from the “boys” and boys are not Men. It’s like the blind leading the blind out there. The kids are running a muck and a lot of the parents think that they can’t do anything about it. But, they can and should.
If you take out the “… read more” part it makes more sense. I posted this on facebook and then saw you wanted it on here. :0) my bad…
I disagree with Nicole, and completely support Stan! My parents were very hush hush about sex, and it’s tough when your scared to ask your parents about sex. I applaud Stan for his parenting and having that close of a relationship for his son to even ask him about something like that. He’s 17, not a baby, almost 18 (I was moved out and living on my own after graduation and being only 17) So you go Stan!!!
17 is an adult, good call. It’s not as weird as walking around your family while naked…. Nicole!
With all the crap there is in this world, why would you want to openly invite more into your family? You can have an honest open relationship with your kids without giving them pornography to watch.
i agree with
I agree with nichole because i do not think us teens should learn about sex that way,I mean I understand some parents might be embaressed to talk about it with there kids but that is still no reason to bring out inappropriate videos
i think there is a time to be honest and a time where you have to lie to stay out of situations like these.
I am the parent of teens, and we have an amazing level of open and honest communication. Yet providing your child with porn is not communication., and I think Stan (and most of your listeners) are completely out of line on this one. In this sex-saturated culture, your job is to be a parent, not their frat buddy. None of us had a pornographic sex tape to educate us about sex, and i’m sure Stan’s son learned about sex some years ago, so that excuse is lame. For a father to provide his son with a tape of a celebrity having sex is completely innappropriate! And if he tries to get access to it on his own – so what? The parent’s job is to provide some moral example. Come on, parents! Wake up and be a role model!
I agree with Nichole. While I am impressed with Stan’s wonderful relationship with his son, he did not take time to consider two very important issues. The first is that just because we know our teenagers will try things with or without us, it does not mean we need to provide those things for them. The tape was a private time between two people, no matter how famous. It says right on the tape that they tried to hide it…ya think? It’s an invasion of their privacy no matter how available the tape has become. More importantly, did Stan ever discuss the subject with his son’s Mother? No matter how much Stan has contributed to his son’s upbringing, she is the one who must deal with Andrew in his daily life. She is the one who sees him everyday, deals with his moods, talks to the school, makes sure he’s where he’s supposed to be and when, etc…. Moms and Dads who are no longer together, NEED to come together when it comes to teaching their kids ethics.
I’m on the fence on this one… if both parents agree on it, its fine. If not, its out of line. My family has an open policy on talking about this sort of subject & discuss questions & curiosities our children have (age appropriate of course).
