[quote=Anonymous]OP, you realize that the older kids are allowed to play these games, and that their parents already don't back you up in wanting to keep your younger kid from seeing them.

You *might* be able to ask for a 3 hour moratorium or something, with the idea that you will take the younger kids (any whose parents have SOME SENSE) and do something more age appropriate so the older kids can play their violent games -- maybe pitch it as a compromise.

Alternate ideas:  Do you have any money to spend?   could you buy off the older kids?   Is there some OTHER cool game you could buy them that they may like instead?   Give them an early Christmas (or on time Hannukah) present?  Something to distract them just for an hour or two?

Could you bring a bunch of laser tag guns and have them play actual games outside?   This might show your relatives that you aren't a total kill joy -- (personally I feel that laser tag is a fine game-- much better than something like Call of Duty).

Could you ask that  there be some time set aside for your 5 year old and the other younger kids to play their games, first?   Then take the littler kids to do something really amazing and fun that even the 8 year olds might like.

Just some ideas.[/quote]
