joy kill aren't you?

honestly that's one area where i actually agreed with my xwife - if your the kind of parent who relies on the rating system your basically blocking harmless stuff while allowing harmful stuff. know your children's media and make calculated decisions.

sitting on my lap with my his uncle on VOIP while we play unreal teaches him more about teamwork then violence. but cartoons showing him violence that doesn't cause blood or pain? now that's where you need to stop, breath and think... and put on blue's clues instead.

I looked at the game graphics before I commented. It is not appropriate for a 5yo imo -and I'm generally quite laid back about these things. I don't rely on rating systems either -that was my polite way of calling you on bad parenting. Team-work demo? Bullshit. You just wanted to be doing your own adult thing instead of looking out for and appropriately entertaining the child in your care. Most 5yos are barely noticing boobies beyond seeing them being used to feed younger siblings -what else have you exposed him to? Porn? It's not funny, it's borderline child abuse. No wonder your wife kicked you out.

My sister commented how my nephew has too much facial features from his mom's side of the family. She added, "And people call him good looking." My nephew, looking down at his lego toy, said, "I think I'm kind of good-looking."

she actually used to do the same thing with the same games, so not really the reason.

as far as the graphics, your protecting your child from redicules things: blood? he has it. imaginery shooting? he plays it with his school friends. but if you ask him if something is pretend or not he'll tell you with a very good acuracy. the reason he doesnt like to do violence is that we've made him aware it hurts people and that they have the same sensations as he does - i've seen him preach it to his play dates. that's good parenting. sheltering him for the sake of it without thought for consequances? not so much.

as far as both he and me where concerned, him sitting on my lap while shouting duck, hide, go there, use the green gun? that's an extra element of quality time. it doesnt come instead of creative playtime or going outside or reading stories, but it is something that we liked to do once in awhile. when it happened usually it was minecraft or portal, but yes, sometimes it was unreal.

Hebe (before her "let's all try each other's dresses and shoes on" 14th birthday slumber party):

I think I have more dresses than the others because they only have formal dresses and I have casual and summer too.

me: well, how many do you have?

Hebe (kinda sheepish): 25.

lmfao........ my fault -when they're 50c at the local thrift store and her size/style....... but 25?

Tell him he can save time by hollering "Jake!" instead.

A jake is a young male turkey.
