Quoting Mama Massa:"   My husband is addicted to video games and cannot sit and focus on one thing. He played World of Warcraft ... [snip!] ... video games in the future because i see the effects it has in the long run. The Wii doesn't seem like such a bad idea though."

Quoting April Hayman:" Yes, my 14 y/o son will play all day and all night if you let him. He is really addicted to his Xbox ... [snip!] ... nothing about. REALITY. And he needs to live in reality...real life. Life isn't one big XBox game. My son has a lot to learn."

Quoting Mama Massa:" yea i dont think taking away the game completely will benefit anyone but some restrictions should help. ... [snip!] ... It is very difficult to deal with. Maybe you could find your son a constructive hobby that requires patience, or sports. "
