[quote=Anonymous]Look, I'm pretty opposed to violent video games, but I only make rules for my own children, not anyone else's.  I think asking other children not to do something that they're parents allow while at a family holiday is out of line, especially if you are asking the host family to curtail something that their kids may have been looking forward to doing.  You immediately become the burdonsome houseguest, the family member that they resent that they have to invite and can't seem to get out of inviting.  Don't be that family member.  However, what I think you could do is ask the host if there is another room in the house that can be used by the smaller kids while the bigger kids are playing video games.  No judgment (although the family already knows what your issue is), don't ask that their children not play the video games, just asks for someplace that your children can spend the holiday away from the video games.  You may be surprised.  Some of the parents of smaller kids may also appreciate it even if they were not willing to ask for the same.[/quote]
