Kids about 8 have phones these days… It’s sad, and retarded.

But good news, I don’t think they’re smart enough to get around the password.

mmm… not bad, but i can beat it. 2 nephews, kaden, 7 and gavin, 5. k is starting to get into video games. while i claim some of the credit, i by no means can claim all of it; after all, i let the kid play “spider man 2″ and similarly kid-friendly games on *my* ps2, i was not the one who got him a ps2 of his own.
also, from what i can tell, his parents give not one single flying !@#$ about what he’s exposed to as far as game content. last time i spoke to him since they moved to minnesota last fall, he was expecting to get “destroy all humans” for christmas. now, i have this game, and i’ll be the first to say it’s funny as hell. not for a good 4-5 years, however, would i say it’s appropriate for k to play. and i’d be willing to bet every game, controller, and memory card i own, if k did get it, g has likely played it.
it gets worse.
two years ago, their father borrowed bloodrayne 2; at the same time, k & g borrowed transformers, spidey 2, lego star wars 2, and marvel nemesis: rise of the imperfects. their dad was (according to him; i have my doubts) playing b2, went to the bathrooom for a few minutes, came back and k was playing b2. k got grounded for roughly 2 minutes before his parents caved.
to make matters worse, transformers and spidey 2 both came back scratched and completely unplayable. so did b2, which should give you an idea about where he got his respect for other people’s property. i had to take them all, and a handful of other games i had the bad judgement to loan k, to bull moose music to be polished up. to this day i haven’t seen a sign of marvel nemesis, which sucks cuz i’m one of the 6 people who actually liked that one. that makes sense, tho, ‘cuz when i went over to their place to pick up the games, their mom had to hunt through 3 other random disc cases to find sm2. it was another week before i had the case to transformers.
also (as long as i’m ranting in a waaaay tldr post nobody’s ever going to read) they have no set schedule. they eat when, where, and what they want; they sleep when and where they drop; and if they get in a fight, or start screaming, or do pretty much anything a normal parent might discipline them for, their parents will threaten from accross the room, not follow through on anything, and basically not do anything to stop the whatever.
at their grandmother’s place, however- also known as my mom’s, dad’s and my place- they know enough to know that for one thing, if i tell them they can’t play a specific game (bully, for instance) they don’t play it, period. likewise, they are at the supper table at suppertime, and they eat what everybody else eats.
the only time when they know they can get away with the normal crap is when their parents are here with them. last time i saw them, they spent 2 days here, they were great, slept in a tent set up in the living room, slept when he was supposed to, ate with everybody else. day 2, their mom shows up, suddenly every rule my mom has established goes out the window. suppertime, for instance, mom, kelly, dad, gavin and i are all at the table. kaden spent the entire meal in the livingroom, playing with one of his superman action figures, knowing full well that supper is on the table and equally aware that he doesn’t have to give a !@#$.

I’m nine years old, and this is so true. Without the internet, I’d die!

*sigh*
This’ll just make the kid learn to be sneakier about the internet and thus everything.
Plus they’ll get into more trouble.

“Child Cruelty” Mind you, some undisiplined kids really need a decent spank because of slack parents.

I was contemplating “how to make kids constantly beg you with tears in their eyes that they will be good from now on” but that’s a bit too long, isn’t it?

That’d be it. I should’ve said “what cannot be unseen”

Good point about the red section. I have no idea how this made it to the home page. It was one of my less than successful attempts.
I suppose the ambiguity of ‘stuff’ had something to do with it.

3-13 is the age I would’ve been shocked at this “stuff” rather than merely disturbed knowing that “stuff” I would have to deal with eventually.

3-13? Maybe more like 8 – death, because quite frankly I’d be disturbed if I found anything like that lying around the house.

False! The title says how to scare kids now, when it should say: How to make kids suicidally depressed.

Or you could, you know, spank them?

By: Ewwee

Yup, unfortunately that would mean being a parent to the child. I can see who is the clear winner at your house. I doubt its you. If your kid is a monster. Maybe you deserve it.

I’m going to have to side with your niece on this one. “Innocently’ trying to see the game doesn’t seem to plausible to me and it is likely a reoccurring incident if she became that angry about it.

But then, you probably should have kicked her off the computer with no offense made. Its thanksgiving, you’re supposed to be bored and spending time with people you’d rather avoid.

You know, we don’t all have libraries handy. Some of us live in the dirt-poor area of the country and are lucky if we even have enough trouble to get into to get grounded in the first place.

If kids NEED the internet to do their homework I’m concerned; because there’s an awful lot of internet out there that isn’t valid for researching homework topics. In addition, if homework is “search the internet” I’m aslo concerned about the level of education these kids are getting.

I’d bet any kid old enough to have a cell phone is clever enough to get around a password.

With regards to stuff: You don’t want your kids to know about your $ex preferences, do you? “Stuff” like toys, playboy magazines, videos. Items that will scar a 3-13 year old for life.
The items in “Stuff” are best left to the imagination.

My niece completely ruined Thanksgiving for everyone last year, because she threw a total fit when we kicked her off the internet for yelling at and pushing her little brother (who was just innocently trying to see what game she was playing.) Damn bratty kids.
