[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I manage this by refusing to buy video games. We don’t have them and don’t play them. My kids hate me, but that’s okay. It’s called parenting.[/quote]

Their friends will have them.   [/quote]

Yes, all the kids in school have them. My kids complain, and especially around birthdays and Christmas, that they are the only ones without a Nintendo or an x-box. I do that annoying mom thing of asking them if all their friends jumped off a bridge, would they jump, too. They get annoyed and exasperated and tell me I’m so, so mean, yadda, yadda.

I can’t control my kid from having a play date at someone’s house and playing Mario Bros., but I can stop it from entering my home.

I’m not a high powered businesswoman, but I can negotiate better than a ten year old. No video games in my house. PERIOD.[/quote]

Why are you a killjoy?[/quote]

Because video games are completely optional and starts dopamine seeking behaviors at a very young age. The meaning of life isn’t to chase dopamine rushes at every opportunity. [/quote]

So does running, sports, shopping, anything that feels good to you.   [/quote]
