My 10 year old really really loves Minecraft. I limit her time on the game as she will sit on it all day.
It frustrates me when she whines about having to shut it off because I told her to after nonstop hours. So, I have made a new rule that whining means loss of game time.
It has worked. Until today when she lied to my face. I told her 2 hours straight was enough and save her game. She lied and said it's on "autosave only" and she can't quit. I then told her I know how Xbox works and she can either save now or I'm pushing the power button.
She hurried up and hit quit and save and acted like she lost everything. She blamed it on me even though I we watched it "save game". I took the game off her but her lying to my face is disgusting. How do I get her to stop?
Added (1). She's lost it for the entire weekend but I'm more concerned with the manipulation factor. (Ya won't let me edit this on mobile). I'm a parent. Most parents would have just let them watch TV. She's in her room being punished.
