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

What makes you think the husband was more dismissive of the wife’s viewpoint than the other way around? Did she even try talking to her daughter to see if there was any reason to think there was a problem?

That's a great idea. Maybe when you talk to her, she will quote you one of these studies, since you think a 5yo can manage such a conversation.

Ok, Tipper.

The rest of us know correlation is not causation.

Fine Kim,
But lawyer talk doesn't always translate into child psychology, but like I said, I'm sure your kids have seen worse.

Try actually taking some psych and statistics classes before trying to pretend you know what you're talking about.

Fine, you are okay with violent content in front of young children, unless they are obviously crouch on the sofa in distress, but don't tell me that you haven't avoided certain things when you were pregnant or now as your kids are older, even though nothing has been absolutely proven about any harm they may cause your kids.
Not all of us need to make guinea pigs of our kids. But, I'm sure you have a meme for that. Go for it.

I absolutely didn’t avoid watching or listening to things during pregnancy. That’s absurd. I am mindful of it now that they’re young kids, but it is based on what they actually have problems with.

Absolutely unacceptable. I would not let my kids watch that. He shouldn’t even be playing them.

Let me guess- you also “avoided” childhood vaccinations, too.

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

This “tell me you’re whatever…” line is getting so tiresome.

Not as tiresome as having a fat lard ass of a husband shooting things on a screen

Would you be okay with him viewing that same material in a different media, like a movie, with your 5yo present? I am guessing no, and I don't see why it would be different with a video game.

[Anonymous]

It's fine. There's real monsters in real life. Like your relatives, priests, you never know who are the real criminals. And there's tv, politicians says hateful things, just spreading fear.

You should be worried more for some people in the REAL WORLD

Close relatives are the most predators for any child. I wouldn't trust my child to the church, full of pedos. They protect themselves.

What game? Halo, Destiny 2?

Destiny 2 is a great game! Space magic and shooting the bad guys to save humanity

American parents worry more about sex than violence. It makes no sense. If its not ok for him to watch porn with the kid then violent games shouldn't be ok either.
