i have said before that my 5 and 9 year old play an old copy of gta (donnyandy has the 4yo), they usually use 'cheats' to get tanks and stuff and mainly drive around and crash cars.
for his 10 birthday, he has asked for GTA5, i have never played the game and was gonna get it for him, but after seeing the reviews and footage, i have got him fifa 14 instead
and 'no' i'm not a council scrubber and the xbox is not a babysitter. I'm an electrician and i earn enough money that my house is nearly paid off and my wife doesn't have to work

As for your last comment, I'm not going to jump on it, because I know what you are getting at (due to previous comments). However to some of the other SN peeps, not all people living on council estates are scrubbers etc. and having money doesn't equal being a decent and responsible person/parent.

Things were a lot more innocent when I was younger. I remember when we were about 12 we were hunting for a copy of strip poker on ZX Spectrum, a fabled and possibly never actually made game. Now you can play GTAV and go to an actual strip club, have **** giggled in your face, grope the stripper and take them home lol.

At least you've had the sense to look into the game and decide it's not suitable, sadly some other people don't agree and think it's perfectly acceptable for young children to be exposed to such adult material.

I don't really think putting an age rating on games as made much or little difference.

Wow this has been going on a bit 
Sorry cannot remember who posted what.
38 me....whoever asked for a age.
Now when I say I let my kids play whatever whenever., seems the usual muppets assume as soon as jezza Kyle finishes I put the Xbox on
My little lad has played on gtav , he was 4 in may....he also plays on gta4 as and when he feels like it.....now we are talking 20 mins before the controller gets put down and he decides it's time to jump on the dogs for half hour.
He doesn't understand the mission side of any of the games so like I said he is happy to pinch a car try to outrun the police....die and start again
That is my lads idea of gta.
I've also taught him to shoot /spent a lot to have the gun custom made as I'd love for him to be competitive ......will it turn him into ronnie Biggs
He is also confidant on a 110cc quad and is wanting a ktm ......is this going to turn him into a thief
Btw......as a kid I had nothing , yes I've done some bad things in my life and have also paid the price.
I drill right from wrong into both my kids (daughter of 12 aswell).....she's more mums job though shopping meadowhall etc......but she has also played on gtav but claimed it to be a crap game.....so do fwiw
And the person who wants to phone social services.......don't make me laugh
Sincere apologies for the late reply but I had a deadline on a completion date that would of hurt my pocket......my bad parenting again as I've not seen my kids for 3 days
Got to go anyway my little lad wants to curl up and watch fast and furious 6.....hope there's now ******** or swearing in it

That's a bit of a d1ck head comment fella ....
As it happens I have 2 American bulldogs a bitch at 6 and a dog that's 2 before a snide remark.....American bulldog NOT pit bull
Do you own a classic? Venture out to the local retail park or mcdee's
My little lad also likes mcdee's ........last time I took him in a classic was when I'd just handed 17k over for one......
Try again kwik.......sure I met you at the conners day
I was there with the wifey and kids in the white evo 9

Just because someone has met you once or even more than once in a group meet or 1-to-1, it doesn't mean they like you, or have become your bossom buddies. Just saying. I met some people from here, and some of them aren't fond of me. Feeling is mutual, so no regrets.
I think Kwik was only joking, anyway. I may be wrong.

I'm not here to make 'mates' , I don't do the meets etc......I went to the 'conners day' out of respect to a brave kid not to talk pub talk figures with grown men wearing the car branding coats
Step back and read what I put instead of glancing and thinking the worse.

I've read what you have written, and I'm not the one to stereotype people regardless of whether I agree with any 4 year-old paying on GTA or not. I'd they rather not, but you're the parent to your child, you decide.

'stereotype'......I couldn't think of the word for the life of me , I knew what I wanted to say....just couldn't think
Let me point it out again......my lad doesnt play gta......he picks it up , takes cars , crashes etc.....that's the fun bit to him
Anyways.....think it's time I step back
Enjoy your evenings
