YANBU.... it's also a very good opportunity to hide the Playstation.

Or even smash it with a brick.

HAHAHA! Poetic justice, that. Second what the others have said about the PLaystation - perhaps just pour water on it or something? MAke it look like an accident...

Can't believe someone of that age behaves like that - it's pathetic.

It's also your marriage. If your DH prefers playing computer games to interacting with his lovely wife and family, then something is wrong. Greet him home from work with a romantic meal, lippy, lingerie or whatever it is that lights his candle.... and if he still goes for the Playstation option then get an appointment with a solicitor... :)

When is he due back from work? He'll be very tired by then I would think - can you arrange to have to go out so he has to look after the DC? [evil Grin]

togoodtobetrue · 08/08/2010 15:40

lol chil if i did that there's no way he would dare go near the PlayStation but he would ask afterwards if it was ok if he put it on Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Thumb - he is due back at 9.30pm tonight & dc's will be fast asleep by then , think ill wait to go out until during the day time while the dc's are awake Grin

teach dd how to insert things into the cd drive? Mini-cheddars, soap etc?

nappyzoneloveschinesefood · 08/08/2010 16:29

remove the fuse from the plug.

nappyzoneloveschinesefood · 08/08/2010 16:29

or hide whatever game he is obsessed with a plead ignorance.

insertwittynicknameHERE · 08/08/2010 16:30

Can you accidentally on purpose loose the controllers and take the fuse out of the plug, should take him a while to realise it is the fuse then even longer to find the controllers.

BalloonSlayer · 08/08/2010 16:32

What happens if you put the game CD into the microwave for a couple of seconds? Someone on here once said it does for Video Cassettes without leaving a trace Grin. Wonder if it works for computer game disks. >

togoodtobetrue · 08/08/2010 19:36

lol some great suggestions here Grin

He is hooked on Lego star wars game Hmm seriously a grown man
