[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are combining families and significant others in a new way this year for Thanksgiving.  A lot of kids will be there, ages 2-12. The older kids have these games and want to play them. I have a younger child (5) and don't want him seeing or playing those games. There is no easy way to keep him separate for the other kids.  Am I out of line asking for no "M" games on Thanksgiving while we are there? [/quote]

What are the age spreads?  How many kids?  OP said there are older kids which as a group want to play those games.  Is the real problem a clump of older kids and a clump of toddlers with none ages 4-7 [a peer group for the 5 year old]?  Many people do have the rec room/gaming area TV plus a FR TV.  If not the older ones might move a small TV into a bedroom.

My kids saw those games when at family functions like this and at homes where friends had older brothers.  Relax-those older kids might let him work a clicker once or twice to be courteous but he will drift off to another activity rather than sit and watch them play.  Same will happen if they move onto Madden or FIFA.  [/quote]
