Computer games - the plus side

[Cooroo]

DD 16 has had her boyfriend over for the afternoon. No need to cough outside her room, as they spent all day in the study playing Age of Mythology.

So far so good!

LOL yeah. My DD is same age and they were both sat tonight in the study too but their game was Sims 3.

Thinking back there's no way I'd have been happy sitting playing computer games all night when I was with my GF. And I'm a total geek!

I was thinking "You know where they are & what they are up to".

My 13 year old son is on his xbox live too much, morning, afternoon and most evenings, we have tried to get him off but no good, just see him for meal times and thats normally late!! Any suggestions? Don't want to take his xbox off him as it seems to be the only thing he enjoys, also uses his laptop, tried football but he has lost interest as always seems to be sub.
