Parents and Black Ops Players

This is a difficult one, Mike, as you may not be able to dictate what dad lets happen at his house. It's going to come down to the relationship between your step-son's mom and the dad. Will he respect her wishes on the subject? If not, there's almost nothing you can really do. As a divorced parent (who btw has an excellent relationship with his ex), I can tell you these kinds of things come up more and more as the kids get older. Ultimately, you have to learn to pick your battles. Maybe the dad will listen to reason, but you may need to be prepared for some kind of compromise on the matter.

I agree you have to draw the line. Black Ops is rated the way its rated for a reason. Its violent, somewhat graphic and the language would not be appropriate. Granted its no worse than any war movie, the killing at least is in a combat scenario versus Grand Theft Auto (mentioned above). However the multiplayer is not that bad and wouldn't warp him but you can't get that without the story.




Edit: And lastly we need to keep he kids off these games, they are better than me and its not fair
