I'm sick with the stomach bug and chose to skip school. My mom says no games for the whole day. Her reasoning is because it's always been a rule and that she says she won't change. My argument is for being able to play games at the time I normally would come home. Since school only takes up part of my day, I shouldn't have my console for those times.

I hate missing school days and feel bad for missing it anyways. I'm practically being punished for something I couldn't control (being sick). When my mom offered the choice of not going I had a visible dilemma of whether or not to go. She knows that I hate missing school and isn't saying no games because I play it to much. If anything, I play it a normal amount for my age. I'm 18 years old and I own the console. I believe she shouldn't have a say if I own the thing.

So now I would like to hear some outside opinions. Should I not play games for the whole day? Or should I be able to play games at the time I normally would be able to?
