[QUOTE="slsh, post: 207089, member: 8"] Pooky - just my opinion. You have 2 choices - don't let difficult child go over to friend's house or let him but understand that he will probably have exposure to the game. I have never allowed toy guns (not even water guns, mean old me) or swords or war toys. I also have never let the kids watch the vast majority of cartoons. If it wasn't on PBS, they didn't watch it in my home. When their friends have come over, they have to live by my rules too. But, when they go over to their friends' houses, they certainly are exposed to different parenting styles and different rules. I would never impose my rules on another household - but I also have to accept that my kids have played with guns, done nothing but snack all day while rotting their brains on (insert cartoon channel of choice), and other things that wouldn't fly here. If it's *really* important to me (I just about flipped out when one of Diva's friend's dad took them to a local bar for Shirley Temples while he did his drinking), then I will not let my kids go to that house. Just my 2 cents. ;) [/QUOTE]
