  • I think there’s a big difference in the way China approaches school work for children that makes this work differently. Kids are in school for far longer in China, (I’ve heard different numbers, but something like 10- 12 hrs a day) so restricting access to games to a few hours a day is really negligible considering how much free time they have. It mostly ensures they aren’t playing games during classes or missing sleep to play games.

    I don’t think such an approach would work in America, partially because the education isn’t as rigorous.

    I also don’t think the government should act as a replacement for proper parenting. I think it’s your duty as a parent to monitor your children’s activities and see if they’re healthy, for games and anything else, really.










  • Don’t be subtle. Be direct and frank. “Dad, I don’t want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn’t have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I’m not home.” Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.
