My oldest one has a video game addiction...So funny. My oldest one has a video game addiction. He will sneak X-Box at every unsupervised opportunity. When we have hidden the controllers, he will rifle through our bedroom searching for them! He'll get grounded only to be caught setting his alarm for 3 am so that he can get in some extra playing time. He's 14. In my sociology class someone did a report on the affects of video/computer games and in my Philosophy class a student shared a paper about gaming addiction. I thought it was just me having a problem with it because we limit our boys video game playing, turns out it's becoming a very real issue. Kids running away if mom and dad shut off internet or stabbing mom because she got rid of the system. If you get a chance check out GREATEST FREAK OUT EVER 2 on YOUTUBE. It's the one with the living room window and computer desk to the right.Brookenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313761414714408723.post-87267279459750430662009-04-07T04:53:00.000-08:002009-04-07T04:53:00.000-08:00ha ha ha!

The other day instead of playing outside he wanted to play the DS, NO NO NO!! I took and made him play outside! And of course he had more fun outside (mommie knows BEST!) :) I am not strict when it comes to the video games but if I notice they play it ALOT I take it and make them do something else...thats when they are like can I play the playstation or Wii? WHAT THE!!? NO! Remember your toys? Yeah, those things in the buckets they miss you! lol I have to say it is a saver at the store when I have Evan and Andrew is at school then he will sit in the cart and I go as fast as I can!!
