It's not just kids that are addicted to this... parents are too!

I didn't even know what this was until about a month ago when I asked my girlfriend what her kid was doing and she was like "oh he's at home playing Fornite" and I was like...what's that? She looked at me like I had 3 heads.

This game is soooo addictive... I've never played or even seen it...just heard about it, but all I know is I don't want it anywhere near my house. It is said to now be the reason for 5% of divorces in the UK in the last eight months! If you think that only the kids are hooked you're wrong. According to Divorce Online, the game has been cited in over 200 divorce cases since the beginning of this year. One Year!

Marriage is so hard these days.... I just wouldn't even introduce this into the home if you haven't yet. Between the phones, emails, you add gaming to the mix...yikes.
