The main reason behind Pedro’s dad not allowing him to watch The Breakfast Club was because the movie was about a group of children complaining about their mom and dad so his dad was concerned that Pedro would learn to complain about them watching such a movie.
But when Pedro reached age 10 his dad allowed him to watch the movie.
His dad didn’t actually want to allow Pedro but had to because they didn’t find any babysitter to watch Pedro and his sister.
His dad thought if they got busy watching movies they won’t need a babysitter.
