[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t like how kids just want to veg out playing video games.  We have tried fighting it but now allow our 7 year old 1-2 hours video game time on Saturday’s after chores. Our 4 year doesn’t get any time right now.

What really getting to me is that so many of the kids in his class seem to have unlimited video game time and access to games which are totally inappropriate( Fortnite/ roblox).  I want I tell these kids parents WTF- what’s wrong with you?

My kids think we are the bad parents for restricting this stuff - I don’t want to tell my kid the truth that his friends parents probably just dump their kids of video games to get some peace and quiet.

these games are so absorbing I fear our kids won’t want to do the fun activities I love doing with them (hikes, bike riding, family game night).  I just feel like I am killing myself doing what I think is right for my kids and society is pushing in the opposite direction.

How do you manage this stuff?[/quote]

I agree with you completely.  We purposely have not bought an XBox or  Nintendo Switch because we are fearful our son will become addicted. Many of his friends already watch hours of television and play video games constantly.[/quote]
