My 9 year old keeps asking for Robux. I've told him no like a hundred times but now he's asking for them as a birthday present. All his friends play it and he feels left out without the premium stuff. Do I cave or hold the line? This feels like the start of something I don't want to deal with.
The Robux thing is endless. My daughter figured out how to convince me to buy them and now I understand why people call these games predatory. Set a hard rule on spending and stick to it or you'll be dropping money forever.
This got expensive fast in our house. I finally told my oldest he could earn store credit by doing chores and that cut the requests down by like 80 percent. He realized real money was involved and suddenly cared less.
The hundred no's leading to asking for Robux is them testing your boundaries. Stay firm or this becomes a pattern with every game he plays. I learned that one the hard way.

They design it so kids bug their parents for money. It's marketing genius and also kind of evil. My solution was no spending and he eventually lost interest in Roblox altogether when he couldn't customize his avatar anymore.
