I guess I’ll be glad two of my kids just play violent video games 😵
I have said to all the children when they tried the “you/they/this other thing made me whatever” by saying that even when I’ve been yelling at them when they made me mad, I always chose to cut loose with the full knowledge that it was the wrong thing to do and should have made the better decision.
Eventually we all started making the better decision, only took years 😓
It’s not the bestest feeling knowing that you’re deliberately doing the wrong thing for instant gratification so I can see why people prefer to pretend they have no control at all.
