have you explained the dangers?

4/2/20 9:25pm

absolutely — every day multiple times day

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

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

CDV

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?

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

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

4/2/20 9:27pm

Not a bad idea!

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

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

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

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

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

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

dccoug

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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

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

Fdnman

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

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

Thanks. This is helpful

dccoug

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

StalwartBraveTrue

4/3/20 10:51am

That's a good point

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