[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 268796, member: 3444"] To let myself get talked into allowing difficult child 1 to buy the new Nintendo DSi without finding out more about the new features. Like the fact that it allows internet access. And when my difficult child 1 has unsupervised internet access he seems to go straight to searching for porn sites. :sick: I took the game from him this afternoon because he wasn't getting his homework done. I just went downstairs to check on him and he's sitting in the dark with the game console on (I guess I didn't hide it well enough or make it clear enough that he'd lost the use of it for tonight). So I confiscated it again. He shut it off and handed it to me. I went to the kitchen and turned it on to find out what he'd been doing. Went to the internet link and looked at the history. Yep. He was looking at lesbian porn. :ashamed: I haven't even confronted him yet I am just SO unBELIEVEABLY LIVID. We've had discussions about this. About how inappropriate it is. How if he's curious I can talk to him about any questions he has. I've bought him books on puberty (male and female) that also address sexuality. I've tried talking to him about healthy relationships. His dad just thinks it's something to joke about and that it's o.k. to look at porn -- that's a whole other issue... Is it time to go back to a therapist to address these issues? These are uncharted waters for me and I feel like I am floundering in the dark. I need to figure out how to limit the use of this game console or he's never going to see it again. [/QUOTE]
