God knows what possessed me to buy the sodding thing...I always said I would never get one, then I did.
DS(8) was allowed an hour or two each day of the weekend, so total max of 4 hours a week, which I think is A LOT. He became obsessed with the thing. Not wanting to go out and wanting to rush home so he can play on it. Once as a little experiment I left him on it for as long as he wants...he literally spent the whole day on it.
I know that tech is the norm now but he's 8 years old and should be playing outdoors or with toys...I don't have a problem with minimal play on tech but he thinks/talks about it non stop. When he does play on it he's unresponsive and gets snappy, rude and very easily agitated. So recently he's not been allowed on it. It's been unplugged and he slowly stopped talking about it as much. Spending more time playing with his Lego, DD and drawing etc when we're indoors.
He was very very poorly last week (now better, thanks goodness) so yesterday when he asked to go on the PlayStation I said yes, he played for an hour or two. Now today, he's come straight home from school getting the controllers out of the drawer and seemed to be horrified when I said of course he wasn't going on the PlayStation. Cried for about 30 mins. DD has come downstairs and said DS has said he doesn't want to be around me and that he hates me.....I know kids say this sometimes but I've never had either of the kids say it before, so I'm a bit like 
).
Anyhoooo feel like I've just gone on and on when this could've been short, ha, my question is AIBU to get rid of the PS....when he clearly enjoys playing on it...but it turns him into a pain in the butt.
