[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how close you are to their bedroom during gameplay but if you're worried about "mean swears" in text you're hair will set on fire when you hear what they all say to each other while playing.

If its game play trash talk I wouldn't punish - its Covid FFS, they are all cooped up at home and game play is 1. social connection and 2. a frustration outlet so yeah, the trash talk is heated. If you take the phone you are cutting them off of the only connection they have to friends/other humans their age.

If its bullying, no matter if there are swears or not, then I would punish

I'm PP and forgot to add: my DS is 13 so I'm right in the same boat as you. If you think this text is bad don't read what they're all saying to each other in Dischord threads either… seriously let this go.

My DS is empathetic, kind, is the one who wants everyone to get along and is a good egg. I do not care if he trash talks while playing right now. Its a completely different thing than real life and if he walked out to the dinner table and said "where's my fu*%ing food?" he'd be up shit creek. Bottom line is, he knows the difference. Maybe have that conversation with your DS and see if he also understands the difference. [/quote]
