do you use all of the parental features on the consoles and games or let them run free?
As I said, I didn't put a Parental block on her but I did do a few custom rules that you can tweak on an Xbox One, as in, No one can message her, or chat, or talk or friend her at all. She only has one friend on her Xbox and thats me.
She played Roblox in the past but that games if f**ked up, like she would be getting actually upset at how others treated her in-game, I found her playing a game where one person should be bullied, and it changes every 5mins, I deleted it, I talked to her calmly about why I did that and that gaming should never EVER upset anyone, that was over a year ago and she's never wanted to play it since or download it and now games with a smile on her face.
roblox is pure evil gooseberry fool and I dont like it, Ive put as many parental blocks on it as I can but still full of people being little banana splits, its what everyone else plays so she wants to as well - and not gonna ban her
I use most of the xbox parental stuff but its a real strawberry floating hassle, constantly have to go along and sign myself in or put codes in or god knows because it does all sorts of stupid gooseberry fool

she obviously isnt that bothered but Ive told her before she hasnt been allowed to play certain games because they are predatory and want to force us to pay money and its not gonna happen, which she understands
she has spent her own pocket money on minecraft coins and robux and I just tell her its finite and she wont get more when they are gone, so make sure they count and I think she gets it mostly
tangential - she asked us last christmas for a load of youtuber merch which was totally shot down. That gooseberry fool is nasty as heck, its one thing the kids watching but its another entirely into forcing them to waste their money of merch or be out of the club. If you see the vids they are relentless, buy this, buy this, make your mum buy this, get this
