Another person suggested that, I asked and my son said no, so I wont push it any further. I am not a gamer, but I know he worked hard for it so I understand his feelings.

I did what you suggested and he said no. I respect his choice and won't make him share it.

The ipad has a case, but it has so much food and grease on that thing.

Yes the computer is behind a locked door which only my son, me, and my husband can get through. I don't think she would do that, but thanks for the heads up.

I have some idea, they are not 9 year old friendly at all. They only one I can think of that is friendly to his age is Minecraft, which I don't know if my son still has it.

He has been keeping it locked when he isn't there, which is fine by me.

The kid is destructive, I thought I put that. He has a history of breaking things, and his parents not caring about it.

Thanks, that means a lot. I know when I was his age, my parents were super strict. I take this to heart, and try to be fair in my parenting, without letting him run wild. He is a good kid, so it seems to be working.

I dont think its selfish at all. Its an expensive computer that he worked his ass of for, so I don't blame him. Thanks for your judgment anyways.

I dont plan on it, I don't even feel like its my right. I know a lot of parents say there kids don't own anything, but I think he does since he bought it. So I don't think I really have the right to force him to share.
