Do you think it is appropriate to play violent video games in front of young children?

DH is playing video games next to my 5yo daughter. The purpose of the game is to shoot and kill the enemy. Graphics very violent. Dh seems to think I’m unreasonable to think this is inappropriate. I just need a reality check because I’m so bothered by the whole situation.

Nope. Not okay. He can regulate his playing time to when she is in bed. Making hard choices is part of parenting.

Your DH is a lunatic

My DH does too and it makes me so mad. I’m thinking of selling his PS5 without telling him.

Depends on the kid. Does she seem upset by it? If not, it’s fine.

My husband plays tons of video games just like this and I couldn’t care less.

In front of a five year old?? That’s a HARD no from me. I’d be livid (and my husband would never do this).

Tell me you’re not around children ever without saying you’re never around children.

Don't be ridiculous. Your kids aren't as fragile as you seem to think they are.

Or I should say your kids weren't, since I bet you're a grandma at this point.

What exactly do you think the problem is?

Well for one thing he’s teaching your daughter how to be a lazy fat couch potato

Damn, this is what you’re bringing to the table: grandma insults and thinking that kids must be fine as long as they are not visibly crying or upset. Wow.

Playing video games would annoy me more than the violent content
