[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest problem is that your spouse is dismissing your feelings about this. Being a parent means you have to set some boundaries, and being a co-parent means you have to negotiate those boundaries. His outright dismissal of your concern is the biggest problem here. It’s not about the video games. It’s about his inability to sit and talk this this through. [/quote]

What makes you think the husband was more dismissive of the wife’s viewpoint than the other way around? Did she even try talking to her daughter to see if there was [b]any reason to think there was a problem[/b]?[/quote]

That's a great idea. Maybe when you talk to her, she will quote you one of these studies, since you think a 5yo can manage such a conversation.

Ok, Tipper.

The rest of us know correlation is not causation.[/quote]

Fine Kim,
But lawyer talk doesn't always translate into child psychology, but like I said, I'm sure your kids have seen worse.[/quote]

Try actually taking some psych and statistics classes before trying to pretend you know what you're talking about.

Fine, you are okay with violent content in front of young children, unless they are obviously crouch on the sofa in distress, but don't tell me that you haven't avoided certain things when you were pregnant or now as your kids are older, even though nothing has been absolutely proven about any harm they may cause your kids.
Not all of us need to make guinea pigs of our kids. But, I'm sure you have a meme for that. Go for it.

Let me guess- you also “avoided” childhood vaccinations, too.[/quote]
