I had what you youngsters might call "a cool mom." She never complained about any of the games I played growing up. In fact, she played so much Jaws on the NES she hurt her thumb, and a doctor said she had "Nintendonitis" and laughed his ass off.

I do remember loaning Ghosts 'n' Goblins to my neighbor, and his mom getting really mad because the game had so many demons in it. Then I found out she only let him play Mario games and the unlicensed Christian games.
