Brigham

have you explained the dangers?

4/2/20 9:25pm

absolutely — every day multiple times day

dccoug

Either your teen was the exception or you’ve never had teens.

thanks. actual experiences like this are somewhat helpful

Have your wife pretend to get sicker and sicker. Then have her stay overnight in a hotel and tell him

CDV

4/2/20 9:27pm

Creative. And I'm just about desperate enough to try it.

dccoug

4/2/20 9:28pm

Took what I said below to new heights! Nice.

4/2/20 9:28pm

When does the one-armed man pop out?

4/2/20 11:33pm

Great idea. Next time you really need him to believe you about

4/3/20 2:18am

Why let him know it's a prank?

Backcountry

4/3/20 7:36am

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and post something like this

Another Arrested Development fan I see 🙂

Have you considered faking all the symptoms of covid 19 for a few days?

4/2/20 9:27pm

Not a bad idea!

dccoug

4/2/20 9:28pm

Video Games... Hikes... Crafts... Exercise..

Thanks

What’s worse the virus or video games.

Blue2thebone

4/3/20 1:20am

whats worse, video games or kids who contract and then spread COVID-19 to more

here's to hoping

4/3/20 3:09am

Why would you let your kids spread the virus

Blue2thebone

4/3/20 11:33am

apparently I let them expose others through the same activities you chose to let

here's to hoping

4/3/20 1:05pm

Apparently??

Blue2thebone

4/3/20 6:02pm

Says somebody that has probably never played an online game with friends...

TheLost

4/3/20 8:37am

Of course I haven’t. Why would I waste my time ?

Blue2thebone

4/3/20 11:32am

This comment is amazing, thank you for posting it on an online sports message board that is a huge time waste for most.

Cru Jones

An adult on a sports message board is far different than addictive brain

Blue2thebone

4/3/20 6:04pm

I don't think so. I had an Atari when I was little, never had a Nintendo until we got a Wii for the family, now with

If he's already going out to the gym and to hang out with friends, it makes

byubyu

4/2/20 9:33pm

Right. Hard to find some sort of happy medium that actually achieves the goal

dccoug

4/2/20 9:36pm

I've let my senior go to his best friends' house and girlfriend's house but they don't go many other places

byujag

4/2/20 9:36pm

I haven't been able to reign mine in that much but seems like I'm not too far

dccoug

4/2/20 9:41pm

Girlfriends house with nothing to do. What could possibly go wrong...

4/2/20 10:01pm

And with all her siblings and probably parents, too

ThetaSigma

4/2/20 10:04pm

Yeah, keep your kids locked up until they're married!

January baby. If from Utah they could name it Covyyde

My 17 yr old was going crazy until we discovered a few new games.

Thanks Zephyr.

No, my daughter is doing pretty well. She video calls with a group of 5 or 6 friends daily.

I have two high school daughters

My son wanted to go out. I told him

CBaass

4/2/20 9:49pm

Yeah, that was hilarious. But maybe it will work with dccoug?

Breaded Hamster

4/2/20 9:59pm

Reverse psychology: Ask him what he would do if you were the son? Also ask him

BYU I Bleed Blue

4/2/20 9:50pm

yep, did exactly that a week ago.

dccoug

4/2/20 10:10pm

IMO no 17 yr old knows what “careful” means

TheLoanArranger

4/2/20 9:51pm

100% agree

dccoug

4/2/20 10:10pm

As a dad of a very well meaning and all around good kid that's 17, I agree

marticorp

4/3/20 8:24am

Our 17 yr old Sr daughter has been no trouble

Orem58thBall

4/2/20 9:58pm

Maybe watch Contagion with him, and watch how dad protects teen daughter.

Breaded Hamster

4/2/20 10:00pm

never seen it. good idea.

dccoug

4/2/20 10:12pm

Dont know. But I'm about ready to lose my mind at the parents of my sons friend

SMH.

dccoug

4/2/20 10:11pm

The best parent is a mean parent.

Brisco

4/2/20 10:15pm

Tell him that if he leaves the house he will have to be quarantined in a tent in the back yard.

John Doe

4/2/20 10:13pm

I've come close to this.

dccoug

4/2/20 10:18pm

Be the parent. Do it.

CougarThug

4/3/20 8:07am

It's really hard. We've had to be big meanies and just say no. We have flat out

Draw the line - protect the innocent - he leaves - he can't come back...

4/2/20 10:50pm

This is serious enough that, sorry son, you need to stay home. We have a son

Maybe my 17 year old was onto something by only socializing while gaming

A_blue_car

Never liked fortnight... until now. It has saved us.

StalwartBraveTrue

This is my parents. They don’t believe the rules apply to them.

If they get it, they give it.

My sister and her kids are the same way. They go all over town and then go

As long as they don’t go to my local ED and use resources I’m good.

StalwartBraveTrue

I can't get my 16 year old out if his gaming chair...listening to my wife nag

Fdnman

4/3/20 6:38am

That’s an easy solution. Take the power cord until he’s done whatever

Let him live

I heard a psychologist on the radio the other day talk about mental health

Schultz is back

4/3/20 8:58am

Thanks. This is helpful

dccoug

4/3/20 9:07am

Hold up. This works for single people. Not kids living in families.

StalwartBraveTrue

4/3/20 10:51am

That's a good point

dccoug

4/3/20 11:21am

Whoever he cohorts with you cohort with.

StalwartBraveTrue

Right. I get the logic. this sort of explanation is completely lost on an

I finally played a video of the family that lost 4 family members

4/3/20 9:54am

I haven't seen that video. Can you send link? I'll search for it too.

dccoug
