Son wants gaming PC for his 12th birthday
My kid is begging for a gaming PC because all his friends have one. I get it, but I'm worried about the money and also about screen time getting out of control. He promises he'll balance it with sports and homework but we both know how that goes. Anyone else deal with this age? What's a reasonable limit if we do get him one? I'm thinking maybe 2 hours on school nights but he'll probably think I'm the worst dad ever.
The gaming PC thing is tough. My oldest has been asking too and I've been trying to figure out the right move. I think the key is setting clear expectations upfront about screen time limits and what homework/chores need to happen first. Make it conditional, you know?
