[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 115483, member: 84"] I always do my best not to fuel a rage. I'd have told her it would be discussed later, too. Neither of my difficult child's can be reasoned with on any level during a rage. I'd follow thru with some sort of punishment. Maybe she can only play it on weekends when there aren't as many time issues? My kids only played their video games on weekend or during school vacations. During warm weather it was only on rainy days. Warm weather was for outside activity. It helped. None of them are "hooked". This was the same for TV too though. I sort of combined to two rules from the first day I bought the game system. As for addicted..... Witz, when I get time I'm going to read that article. For ME. lol I have a computer game I've been playing for the past oh, almost 10 yrs. Every night. Only miss if there is something wrong with the computer. And if there is something wrong with the computer, it had better be fixed pronto or a new one bought yesterday or there will be no peace until it is. That said, the game is my stress releaver. It's my safety valve. I can barely tolerate TV these days, and a person can only fill so many hours reading. Plus if I read a book I'm interested in, it doesn't relax me. Instead I don't want to put it down til I know how it ends. lol I know that when Travis was in school, the video games were his relief valve too. A way to let off steam and get rid of stress. He's more of a casual player these days, but then his life doesn't have a whole lot of stress in it either. [/QUOTE]
