[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 245532, member: 1514"] I am probably in the minority here but we had guns and video games in our house for years. I dont know what video games we had...we only had the Nintendo systems. We mostly rented the games. When they were younger it was Mario. With the age gap I am sure we had violent games around. I dont play so I dont know. My oldest one is the biggest gamer. The younger two would only play when it was raining because they were so hyper we couldnt get them to stay inside long enough to sit and play. I mean...they played for the first couple of days after we got the games at Xmas but then it was ....I want outside! Now the guns....they were in the kids lives since they were born. They were taught from the time they could walk that you dont touch guns. We never had play guns because that teaches bad ideas. By the age of 6, both of my younger two were attending turkey shoots and winning. They went dove hunting every year by the age of 8. They got their Hunters Certification from the NRA. It may sound odd that we never had any problem with guns and difficult child's but we didnt. It was one thing that they knew. Shooting all his life actually helped Jamie, he entered the military and scored expert marksman in bootcamp. [/QUOTE]
