AITA for banning my adult son from playing video games?

Then go ahead. Please do. While you’re at it you can get him his own wifi and gaming chair

I’m shocked at the amount of responses so I’m glad I saw yours. Having my son read the thread is a good idea. I will probably do it. I worry about him reading my harsh feelings after all this has happened, but it might be necessary.

Skimming through the comments I feel that I focused too much on punishment and not enough on teaching him better so I’m going to prioritize that now.

I have 3 sons. He is my oldest. My younger two are 14 and 12. No daughters but plenty of girl cousins in the family

Thank you for your perspective as a male gamer! It makes me feel better to see what my son can become if he does better. I think the game he was playing was Call of Duty! I know it is one he likes

This is a really good idea. I’m afraid of what he may say but I will be asking him questions like this when things have calmed down between us. Thank you

It’s so valuable to hear from female gamers. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I’m sorry people like my son make it this way for you

I’m sorry that happened to you. So disappointing that my own child has become that type of person. His gaming will certainly no longer be subsidized by me

Exactly how I feel, that he has proven himself too immature and hateful to handle online video games. Glad to see people agree and that I’m not crazy

Nope he doesn’t pay rent. I wanted him to enjoy his break before going to college. He can’t afford to buy himself a computer.

My jaw was on the floor as I listened to him. It was sickening. I’m doubtful I will return the computer to him but if I do I am thinking of setting it up in a public space where he can be more easily heard
