This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Does he have enough other responsibilities? by pmcdnd96
In your shoes, I would try to get him to:
play sports
have chores around the house
have a job
be active in Church community
volunteer for other organizations
If he is doing all those things and obeying his bed time, there really aren't enough hours in the day for him to be playing games too much. (I have friends who go to bed before their kids and they have the WiFi set up to go off at 11:00 PM)
I look at video games like I look at drinking: playing video games only becomes a problem when it interferes with more important responsibilities.
