This.  His dependence on gaming makes real life unable to measure up.  How can it?  You took him to Asia.   On his screen, he gets Asia + [u]aliens[/u]. That explode!

I disagree that this is about gaming and/or technology.  It's because he's approaching puberty.  He's testing you by being a smart ass, so don't let him get away with it! [b] He doesn't have to like the trip, but he does have to be respectful to you. [/b]

When I was around that age, my parents took me to NYC, San Francisco, New Orleans, etc.  I was a raging idiot, storming through Moma because I thought it was "stupid", wanting to just escape my parents in SF, and being concerned only about my hair and what I was wearing in NO..  I recall nothing meaningful from any if those trips - except that teenage angst.

Now that it is after the fact, you can have a calm discussion with him about his response to you.[/quote] What was disrespectful?  She asked a question; he answered.[/quote]
