XP pissing me off! Letting DS's play GTA on Xbox.

[Tortoise]

Not sure which GTA it but is rated 18.
XP bought the xbox 2 weeks ago and the only game he bought was this Grand theft auto game.
Ds1 is just 14, DS2 is 11! From what DS1 said earlier via text, DS2 has been on it most of the day.

Is there anything i can do? Not much point speaking to XP, he never listens.

it may be bad parenting but it isnt neglect or abuse as such - nowt you can do while they in his care just counter it with intelligent things when they with you....

I guess so.
I really disapprove of them playing 18 games. Disappointed that they don't say ' no, not allowed to play it'.

GTA is grand theft auto. You can tell him you don't approve and that the ating is given for a reason, but as a parent he is able to make choices if what he considered suitable while he has them.
If you disagree or think he is harming the dc by exposing them to things like GTA then you can stop contact if you believe it is significant enough to warrant it. He could take you to court but they would probably agree that it is unsuitable and ask him to agree to not let them play it during contact. He'd say ok and tell them not to tell you...

Thanks gilly. He dropped them off earlier and I had a bit of a pop at him over the game. He tried to change the subject so I said I don't know why u think it is a good idea to let them on an 18 rated game. And then I walked off because I was getting irate!

Can understand your concerns - ex once let DD watch some dreadful 18 rated horror movie (she was about 11/12 I think) and she insisted on having the landing light on outside her room for about 6 months, scared her rigid.

But as others have said, his parenting time, his decisions. And you really need to find a time/method for communicating about difficult issues other than at handover time, specially if you know you'll lose your temper.
