Excellent goals from an eight-year-old

My 8 year old has no access to COD or any game like that here in our house (he is a Minecraft monkey however). That said, he goes to other kids’ houses, and some of those other kids have older siblings, and some of those older siblings play COD, MW3 and others.

There is only so much helicopter hoverparenting I am prepared to inflict on my kid, and if he plays a video game for an hour at someone’s house I am not going to feel guilty, not will I accept any bullshit judgement from people who have no kids, nor from people who make themselves crazy with the hoverparenting stuff. My kid is healthy, well adjusted and happy on almost every level. He is not becoming a raving psychopath, and he is not going to become a criminal (I hope).
