I thought my husband would know better. He bought Grand Theft Auto for my ten yr old grandson and it's rated Mature with Strong Sexual Content and Nudity And Strong Language. He has been watching for it in the mail for 4 days and is thrilled. I lectured my H about it but he didn't seem to care a bit. Now my grandson that I'm raising is watching this thing.
Please; what should I do? I am so angry at my H . :mad:

As you may know that the raitings are "E" for everyone, "T' for teenaged .....and then the "M" for the mature. It seems he just skipped over the "T" one too didn't he? I would be upset too and not let him play it. I would also let him pick out a replacement for it. That might help the situation. At 10 he can understand why he cannot play it and a "mistake" was made. Good luck.

A replacement. That is a terrific idea!!! But he will not "understand" and agree quietly. No, this would be a war with tears and all the trimmings. :(
Plus, I'd need my H's cooperation and he is Very easy on kids. I mean, unreasonably so.

does your husband approve of letting your grandson watch pornography or even R rated movies??? if he doesn't, then have your husband sit down and play the game (without your grandson around) and show him how bad the rated "m" games actually are. if that isn't possible, there are plenty of articles and news programs you can find to show your husband about how these kinds of games really mess with kids' heads....

good luck!

No, he won't watch it. We hid it and are selling it now. He's getting another more acceptable disc. But last night when he found out it had been taken away was one of my worst 3 hrs in a very long time. Oh, the tears, the drama, the yelling, the using an entire box of kleenex (wet ones scattered all over the floor for extra dramatic effects). Then his mother called and he was awful to her. Then my ex called and talked to him. It was a real zoo. So today it's over and I'm beaten down. Worn out. My husband turned around and bought him another game last night to replace it. This child is turning into very high maintenance and his mother won;t even consider a "salaried" job to get him back. No, he's too much of a bother I guess. Let grandma raise him. Makes her life much easier and she can party more. :confused:
I hear, "you are doing such a wonderful thing raising a young boy." They have no idea. I don't need flattery; I need some privacy and quiet.
