Husband bought SIMS 4 to play with our daughters. Youngest is 6. He didn't ask me about it just bought it and made quite a fanfare about its arrival so they were excited about getting it. I casually asked if it was suitable for 6 year old and he said yes and I believed him.
This morning I found her playing it unsupervised and so I had a look at it and felt a bit uncomfortable. It didn't really seem that suited for a 6 year old. So I looked into it some more and saw it was actually rated 12.
Told my husband that I wasn't comfortable about her playing it especially as its rated 12. There must be a reason for that. He basically said it was totally fine and made out that I was being overprotective and would stunt my children's development through over protectiveness ( I'm def. the more cautious parent but in no way 'overprotective').
We've had two big arguments about it today. He said if I didn't want her to play it then I'd have to tell her myself. She was very upset but I still think it's the right thing to wait a few years until she's older. She plays Minecraft and other games and I think that's enough.
Husband has told me he's 'very upset'with the situation.
AIBU to stop a 6 year old playing a 12 rated video game??
