Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The next step is becoming a better parent. That's a shit move and you can't stop your kid from playing it behind your back. You simply taught them to find and learn new ways to gaslight and evade you in order to keep playing with their friends.
I guarantee your parents did the same shit to you, and you perpetuate that toxicity.
You sound like exactly the kind of kid who needed his Xbox taken away.
Says the person with no kids.
How many kids do you have?
Three more than you.
How old are they?
Why?
Wondering what kind of parent you may be. Read through your post history and you sound sane and competent up until approximately minutes ago.
I am large, I contain multitudes.
Gaslighting, toxicity, oh come on. I'm supposed to expect my kid to lie to me?
Just giving my kids into the embrace of peer pressure isn't love, it's evading confrontation. Give them a place of trust and understanding, with clear rules they can understand and follow. If my kids are getting their way bending and evading the rules we set, then it's way too late.
We often say yes, but sometimes we have to say no, and our kids are fine with that.
You're a shit parent if you let your kid play Roblox.
A point could be made about a video game that isn't actively preying on kids, but Roblox ain't it.
