[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the posts here, it sounds as if the problem is not video games.  The problem is that your son is being loud and obnoxious.  Solve that problem.[/quote]

He IS being loud and obnoxious - when he plays the video game. Generally, he is otherwise pretty quiet and respectful. Admittedly, he has his moments - but he is a teen after all.

Any suggestion on how to solve the loud and obnoxious?[/quote]

I think it depends on how obnoxious you are talking. Sounding irritated but attempting to comply is completely different than outright refusal, saying hurtful/rude things. [/quote]

It's loud and obnoxious to be yelling at your video game for hours on end, whilst others are trying to concentrate/relax/sleep. It's obnoxious to not be able to see others' ponts of view, and think that they have to do all of the compromising. It shows a lack of empathy and respect - which is unexpected from him. Maybe it's hormones, maybe it's personality, maybe it's being stuck inside. Maybe it's all of it.

But it's driving me crazy and I need to find a workable solution. [/quote]
