    give him an ultimatum, he cuts down or quits playing or you kick his azz out :P or cut off the internet.

    Give the guy time. After a while, the charm of being Online for 7+ hours will come to a close, and he'll start playing a few hours a day again. I'd say maybe 2 - 3 weeks is sufficient. Sure, it may seem like a long time to you, but understand that it's a "new" thing for him to have ready access to Online multiplayer, which is very fun and quite addicting. Hopefully, he'll calm down.

    OR he'll be like the rest of us Online-happy gamers and play for hours on end. Try talking to him. If it doesn't work, you can program the router [granted it's wireless] to broadcast at the hours of your choosing. (i.e., 7:00 - 10:00) Change the password to access the router settings as well, otherwise he can just uplift it and turn it against you. Tell him you'll uplift the time constraint when he cools down with the gaming.

    you have to say or do something now before it gets to late. the last thing you wanna do is give him an ultimatum where it can back fire. instead try to reason with him. get him to do some simple stuff with you and kid like go for a walk at the park or beach, maybe go to movies or stay in and rent a movie(s). even ask him to help out around the house like cleaning up after himself, dishes, laundry you know just so he wont be playing all the time.

    lmao i love this question. there are soooo many girls against the xbox, including me. I would think hes on it a lot more bc you just got the internet and there is more for him to do. Just tell him we would all love to play xbox live all day but he has a girlfriend and son that need attention to and then just give him a bunch of kisses and distract him till he gets off. it works for me every time.

    destroy up, tearing him faraway from his Xbox on your guy or woman selfish reasons may be immoral and only reason extra porblems between you. He gets injury once you deliver this up given which you're making him decide on between his 2 loves. Make it user-friendly. end it for the final. to boot, video games have been in his existence a lot longer than you have and in case you do finally end up making him decide on you won't like the end result.

    What do you expect? You should be in the kitchen making sandwiches till 10am and resume at 10:30am.

    Haha but seriously what do you think is happening in the future? There wont be television and game consoles? Hell yeah you're right! There will be ******* hologram and virtual reality. Everybody will get so addicted in it.

    Ultimatims are a bad bad bad thing its always blows up in your face and don't "ground" him from it that's screwed up he's not a kid don't treat him like one....be sweet...I know that's hard when your ticked a just want to break the f#####g thing but be nice like "sweetie can you help me out a minute" in a sweet voice... eventually the new will were off... hopefully soon...or you can be like me and break the f#####g thing.

    Tell him he's a noob for playing on an Xbox and that he needs to get a gaming PC.

  • 1 decade ago

    Walk in on him wearing some super hot sexy clothes and underwear and tell him you need him right their and then!!!

    If he tells you to get out of the way of the t.v screen

    Then it's time to pack his crap and kick him out
