How long should my 18 yr old son who is not working or going to school during summer play games online?

Question

How many hours a day do you think he should play?

Answer 1

Okay, I'm 16, but I have my own buisness as a proffesional Dog Trainer, I babysit and do quite a few other things as well, but I play on the computer about maybe 1 and 1/2 hours a day, give or take a few minutes. Since I do own my own company, I have lots of other things to do, but My parents restrict me to no more than 1 and 1/2 hours a day. Only 1 hour during school, and 30 minutes during midterms and finals. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

As long as you allow him. He should be spending his time looking for work...

Answer 3

if you are talking about a game like World of Warcraft... lol.. my HUSBAND plays about 4 hours a day... but this is when all is quite and after the kids go to bed, and I dont need any help around the house... I'd say to tell him to tell you what he thinks is a reasonable amount of time... and to use the rest of his time helping around the house and finding a job...

tell him that you'd appreciate it if he got the things done that he really needs to do first... then play games online.... if he spends about 4 hours on it like my husband does before he goes to bed at night... he still would have the entire day to do other things....
