Video Games

For you other moms out there with boys in the 8-12 range, how do they seem to react to video games?

My boys seem to want to play them constantly! Not that I let them...but they play as often and for as long as I permit. Usually I end up taking the Wii away earlier than I had planned though because they end up fighting over it. Is that typical?

I've also had to take some of their games away, due to the attitude that always seemed to follow.

I know how much they love the Wii. At times, it really bothers me that they try so hard to make me feel like a bad mother for taking the game away. But I have to take it when I feel that it is becoming a detriment to them. Speaking of which....I'm off to take it from them now!

Didn't get lost...

I really didn't get lost...I promise! I did get sidetracked and away from my blog for a while. My man lost his job! So...he was here with me all day, every day. And hogging the computer! Can you believe that? I told him that all of my friends live in my computer (yes, I realize that is pathetic...) He didn't seem to care. He's back to work, but the baby is crawling. And MAN, can he crawl fast! I mean, super fast! So I am spending quite a lot of time baby-chasing. I really need to invest in a baby gate. We've been doing a lot of baby proofing. Cabinet locks and such. But we need a gate, so that I can at least confine the speed demon to just one room!!!
