  • I think there’s a big difference in the way China approaches school work for children that makes this work differently. Kids are in school for far longer in China, (I’ve heard different numbers, but something like 10- 12 hrs a day) so restricting access to games to a few hours a day is really negligible considering how much free time they have. It mostly ensures they aren’t playing games during classes or missing sleep to play games.

    I don’t think such an approach would work in America, partially because the education isn’t as rigorous.

    I also don’t think the government should act as a replacement for proper parenting. I think it’s your duty as a parent to monitor your children’s activities and see if they’re healthy, for games and anything else, really.













  • You’re not obligated to want a monogamous relationship. Plenty of people live lives where, after some lengthy and serious conversations about expectations, desires, and boundaries, they live in ethically nonmonogamous relationships.

    That said, y’all didn’t set that up so you’re wife did intend to deceive you in some way and I think that’s worth some introspection and conversation with her. It’s not a great way to start a nonmonogamous relationship, but relationships come with trials and this could just be another to get over. That’s really up to you, your wife and your shared values.
