On the 5 minutes issue, I try to let him finish the game he started instead making him stop immediately...
I went to bed...it was 10:55
Then the wife comes upstairs and gets on him and then wakes me to lay into me about being tougher.
I asked him what happened to the 5 minutes?
He said "we stayed alive, I didn't start a new game"
He's on school break the next 2 weeks... my wife works tomorrow.
I was ticked I was taking the flack from my wife over this.
Believe me, I can grow plenty of balls when I need to, but its not a pretty when I get mad.
I guess my problem is about being consistent .
I'm not perfect, I try to let my son have some room to make mistakes...
But we're concerned because his personality is to not get out of his comfort zone and try other things.
He loves golf...but this has many challenges to provide the apportunities...
He plays for school team, the season just started...like I said the weather has been a problem

That's what its all about. People crave consistency in all aspects of life. Kids need it even more from their parents.

That's where you gotta step in and tell your wife step back a bit.

It sounds like your wife is just a bitch tbh.

Tried that on my girlfriend last night, and she asked me why my character was different.
But OP, my friends and I probably played COD from 6-11 every school night after practice for whatever sports season it was, and I turned out okay. I knew if I ever screwed up behaviorally or got a C on a test the first thing being taken away was my Xbox, that motivated me more to stay on my crap than some arbitrary time limits.
