jaisavteo Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Take some time off work and spend some quality time outdoors with your son x I've taken a few days off Jason, problem is he doesn't think it's cool to do anything with his mom (absent father) Have you got any suggestions??

jaisavteo Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 ;7301553']As far as I'm aware you can use the parental control settings on the PS3 to limit playtime. I don't own a PS3 so dont know for sure how it works. You can look at this site for more info... http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/3_15/basicoperations/parentallock.html Thanks Matt that was one of my original idea's however if he can't play he's using the internet to get strategies and watch gameplay (yes really!!), also he's a lot more computer savvy than me so I think he'd soon find a way around that.

andrejuan Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 He plays with his friends online which is part of the problem, It makes me the bad guy as his friens seem to have unlimited access. They tell you that but it is not the case usually, most parents limit the gaming time, I know I do. Plus, mine are not allowed on games beyond the age limit. The time settings are a good idea although I don't use them. You have done the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisavteo Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 The game is for over 18's Should a child be playing it? Me? Level 45 Prestige 6 Think this was probably my first mistake tbh but he was going to his friends to play it and to be honest all his friends play it. In general he is a good lad and I thought he was sensible enough. with hindsight I'd never recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisavteo Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Take the machine away …………. Now that is parental control. I have, he's not had it for a month now so it's sitting gathering dust. It just feels like I'm really punishing him if I get rid of what was an xmas pressie for good.

Thanks andre, I'm starting to think that while he may get the ps3 back (with time limits) I will have to ban him from games over his age limit.
