You know what? I don't think you're hardcore at all.

And how old were you when you played your first "mature" game?  Was it Grand Theft Auto 3 back in 2001?  Was it Mortal Kombat Back in 1993?  Or did you wait until you were 18 years old?

I don't know you but be honest, you little devil, you.

That's irrelevant. The role of the parent is different to that of a friend.

 

You post actually reminded me of "Danny the Dog" with Jet Li, "get them young enough and you can get them to do anything".

Danny's master was gloatin the same way you are.

Wow.  I guess you have me pegged.  Never seen "Danny the Dog" but I assume you're correct.  Your ability to judge 11 years of parenting by a single video game thread is simply amazing.

Disregard the fact that she's been a straight "A" student since first grade, the fact that we go on trips, movies, etc.  Forget that I've watched endless hours of Disney and Nickelodeon sitcoms or the fact that 90% of my Netflix recommendations are shows like Hannah Montanna and Hey Arnold.  Throw away all of the hours I've spent doing homework after I get off from work or how I work from 6pm to 6am (rotating schedule) and when I get off from work, I gladly drive her 300 miles to a doctor for a medical condition she has.  Forget that any adult she meets tells me how mature she acts, how well she speaks, and how well behaved she is.  I let her play a video game.  I'm horrible.

But no, I don't think that.  I don't smoke, drink, or go out to parties.  We have a very close relationship.  On top of all of the video games, she has a love for reading, drawing, and building things.  Regardless of how you, a random internet user, see me--I see how she acts and I know I've done a good job so far.  I'll let you know how we enjoy the M-Rated game, okay?
