[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the comments.  My son would play all day if I let him and I just think it is addictive for him.  It is all he wants and anything else just gets in the way of it.  Just wondering what other parents had for limits.[/quote]

Why doesn't he have other things to do?[/quote]

He does as I explained previously.  He has 2 hours of religious ed on the weekend and a tournament for his sport every 4-6 weeks.  That takes up half a day on that weekend.  He also goes over his friends' houses or vice versa for sleepovers, etc.  They will play video games the entire time unless I intervene.  We also sometimes go to a movie, a corn maze in the fall, ride bikes on the trail near us, go to the library, etc.  But he wakes up at 7am on the weekends and goes to bed at 10pm.  He could easily play video games for 8+ hours if he didn't have limits.  I'm not willing to bend on the screen time during the week since I don't want him rushing through his homework to get to it.  But I also don't want him laying around for 8+ hours on the weekends even if it isn't 8 hours straight.  I was just curious what other parents allowed on the weekends.[/quote]

Why do you care what other parents do? We're not parenting your child.[/quote]
