My stepson is a few months shy of 16 years old and REALLY into gaming. For Christmas he got a new gaming monitor. I know it's new and he's really excited about it but where do you draw the line on over use?
For example:
during the regular school year, he games from 8pm-9:30pm
during the weekends probably longer and later into the evening (DH and I are usually asleep),
during the holiday break, 7pm until ???

Last night was the tipping point for DH, his friend came over around 5:30pm and they started gaming, took 30 break to eat, and back to gaming until ??? DH finally woke them up around 11am this morning and told them to get outside to enjoy the fresh snow.

My step son works hard during the school year so he has earned free time and deserves it but does free time = endless hours of gaming?

DH and I are at a loss of what is reasonable to expect from a 15/16 yo. Is this today's youth?
