It’s causing so many problems at home because his close school mates play it and we don’t let him. And it’s not just a case of saying no, end of. With his ADHD diagnosis and potentially ASD the mither and obsessing and moods about it are driving me to distraction. There’s been violence and damage to property.
And yes, some of them do play it. He's played it too at others houses occasionally. We weren't impressed.... We haven’t met his mates but some of them have similar traits to DS and a few are in one parent households. I know how hard it is living with that lethal combination and not to cave in as I’m in the same boat and without the support of his dad and his partner I probably would have done. Because we don’t know he kids we don’t know the parents so have no “in” there either.
Pastoral team at high school are good and I think telling them would a) enable them to discuss it in school with the kids and its (non)appropriateness and b) send a letter to parents reminding them it’s not a game for 12 year olds…. (Something similar happened in primary with Fortnite)
Or AIBU and should just crack on with it as a problem we have to solve on our own? It’s got fuck all to do with school.
