Hi there
Well not completely off topic as its driving me to food!
I have caught my just 13 year old playing 'call of duty modern warfare 2' on his PS3 live.
Apparently he gave the £40 to his sisters 15 year old boyfriend who then bought it for him.
He knows I would not let him have it - or play it as I won't allow them to watch 18 dvds or play 18 games.
we have 'discussions' about it every week! (I do actually let them watch and play 15s so am not overly strict!)
Anyway 'all' his friends are on it (and to be fair, looking down the list of players there are lots of his mates that are)
He is now going to be a social outcast and have nothing to do and have no friends apparently.
I have taken it off him and have said I will ebay it to get some of his money back or I will look after it til he is 16 when I will consider letting him play it.
All hell has broken loose with both him and his sister - age 14 , both screaming and shouting at me how old fashioned and unfair i am etc etc.
I know when they go round their friends I can't control what they watch and I'm not so naive to think they haven't seen or played on games that I would not be happy about, but I feel really strongly about sticking to my guns here!
Anyone would think I was personally responsible for categorising the blinking things the way they're going on at me and I am definately the most out of touch, 'dread' mum in the world
How can I explain to them = or can't I?!
For those of you who have got the game how 'bad' is it?
Teenagers! At least my littlest one - age 5 - is still lovely!
Someone give me some advice, before I turn to food or drink!
