video games


My son is absolutely hooked on video games. If he is not at school, doing homework or participating in after school sports events he is on the computer. I guess most kids are like that these days. While he plays video games my son converses with the other players with a head set. Sometimes I think he is talking to me but it is his buddies from the video game. They discuss weapons and scores and who else is playing at the moment. It's a whole different scene from what I grew up with.

Yes, my son is crazy about video games. He just doesn't seem to tire of the games and looks forward to connecting with his friends while playing. I know the video games are his currency so when he misbehaves or is being stubborn about getting some chores done I know just what to do. The video games are off limits until the behavior turns around to my satisfaction or until the chores are done. 

I really don't mind that my son is into video games. I'd rather know where he is and what he is doing than the opposite. For now, this video games craze works for us both.
