[quote=Anonymous]No, you don't have to buy your kids video games, a console, etc. If they want to apply, though, they will probably be able to figure out how to access it on laptops or Chromebooks. And you can't keep them from playing at friends' houses - that would make them weird. My stepsons sit in their rooms all summer, all day, playing video games. They come home from school and go to their rooms and play video games. It's incredibly unhealthy. And yes I am opposed to this but as the step mom there is nothing I can do. I have suggested family bike rides, walks, rides to the pool, offered to drive them to friends' houses, etc. Can't get them out of their rooms except for meals. It is insanely unhealthy. One kid has depression. The other has ADHD. Their sister doesn't game and she is much healthier and happier. So yeah I would just keep doing what you are doing. Also, there are plenty of teens who look down on "gamers."[/quote]
