[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Does gaming cost money? Do you have to subsidize his habit with subscription fees or computer equipment? If so, I think you could insist he hold down a part-time job. Perhaps two four hour shifts a week at a Macdonalds/Baskin Robbins/Safeway etc. I agree that you can't force him to do a typical EC if he does not enjoy it but it is reasonable to expect him to learn some valuable life skills especially if he is spending a lot of time in an alternative reality. It will look good on his college application and it will get him out of his bedroom/basement and into the real world and teach him personal responsibility. [/quote] I agree with this. I had a retail job in HS, and it really helped me understand the "real world." I worked at a customer service desk of a store like Home Depot and it was a stressful and unappreciated job. Which helped me understand the working world. Plus, I needed that money for college books and spending money. [/quote]
