[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 245277, member: 3419"] Yes, boys typically like guns. Does that translate into an obsession when they're older? Not usually. Does your son have an obsessive personality? That is more to the point. I don't like the game you describe, for the reason that I don't like guns and violence. Our difficult child has a James Bond PS2 which I hate and I make him turn it off and put on a sport game. (husband bought it in a moment of weakness.) I think for most of our g'sfg, they are over-the-top with-their behaviors so we have no choice but to limit their exposure to violence. The hard part is not limiting it so much that they then become obsessed with-it simply because it's off-limits, Know what I mean?? So, I agree with-the others, that you put an age limit on it, and tell him that when he's older, his grandfather can teach him gun safety. That way, it's an age thing, like staying up late to watch a movie, "older kid privileges," etc. [/QUOTE]
