[quote=Anonymous]Why was he allowed to play on someone elses iPad? It is not his so he should not have been using it in the first place.

Was the 2 hours on Roblox more video game time then he is normally allowed? Do you normally let him play video games before bed time? I ask because we have time limits for video games and we don’t allow him to play before bed time. If you allowed your child to play longer then usual and at a time that he normally isn’t allowed to play at then that is on you. We set those rules and are consistent with them so DS knows what to expect.

Toss in a more active weekend probably with more screen time then normal and a more tired kid and you are going to have a melt down.

I don’t see Roblox as being that different then Minecraft or most other non-first person shooter video games. We don’t let DS, 10, chat with anyone on Roblox and he is limited in the time he can play. He has a series of games to choose from, including Roblox, but he only plays Roblox with a couple of friends. Most of the time he plays something else.

Different parents have their lines in the sand, we do not allow Fortnite or any type of first person shooter game. DS asked to play Fortnite, we said no and explained why. We don’t think that hunting other humans is a good idea, we don’t like the violence, and we don’t allow chatting in games with people he doesn’t know. He seemed to understand why we don’t like the game and didn’t ask again. You are allowing your child to play Roblox with his cousins but then saying no the rest of the time. I can see where that would be confusing to him and now Roblox has become a bigger thing because you have made it extra special.
