My DS (7) has two best friends who have their own tablet and play games on it. I know that’s super normal and it’s weird that my DS doesn’t have one.
Anyway it got to a point where I heard him pretending to another friend he also had a tablet and plays mine craft. Then he spent the day with a third child who went on about it all day (mine craft) and I felt like I was holding DS back so I paid for it and downloaded it on my phone (after much convincing from DH also) and let him play for a bit. I did so very reluctantly (that was Thursday.)
Anyway since then, all he’s done is beg me to play it. All day. He wakes up and starts the begging.
I didn’t want to give him access to games as I think they’re bad for kids and addictive so I’m really annoyed with myself for letting him in the first place.
I sort of want to stop him from playing the game... is it too late? I don’t want to hold him back or be unfair. Some of my friends think I’m being unreasonable if I don’t let him. And so does DH.
