Similar Stories to Ask Amy: An Update Reveals No “deviants” In The House on Bing News

Dear Readers: I value hearing back from people who have had their questions published in this space. Like you, I am curious about how people dealt with their dilemmas, and I wonder whether my advice was useful. I’m happy to publish this “update” from a reader whose original question was published in June 2012. The original Q&A is below, and the update follows. Dear Amy: My husband and my father are both video gamers. A new version of their favorite game just came out, and I became aware that it is rated M-Mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The two men believe it is perfectly acceptable for our boys, 4 and 6, to watch and play this game. I equate an M rating as equivalent to watching an R-rated movie and am insistent that the boys cannot watch or play this game. They are arguing that the kids have played previous versions, also rated M (unbeknownst to me), therefore no harm is being done. I am being accused of overreacting and being controlling. The kids are also now angry at me for pulling the plug. Am I overreacting?

“The Dog Show” is art for the heart of Denver dog lovers
Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 11:48 AM
I never had much sympathy for people when their dogs died. Animals come and go. We buy and sell them like property. When people went into mourning over their lost pets, tearing up, calling in sick at work, going on endlessly about the whole mess, I thought they were being dramatic. Then I got a dog. You know how this story ends.
