[quote=Freeman]Video games aren't the problem. The problem is that your husband is ignoring you and the rest of the family, as well as his responsibilities around the house. It wouldn't be any different if he went downstairs and watched TV or read books. If you focus too much on the symptom of playing video games, you'll lose sight of the actual problem. Talk to him and find out why he's doing what he's doing, while also explaining how it is affecting the rest of the family. You need to make sure he understands how you feel about his actions, and then the two of you can try to work out the issues together. I don't think the PP's idea would work well, since treating your DH like a child will not likely help the situation. The equitable sharing of chores is good, but not when put in "No video games until you do your chores" context. Even if it worked, do you really want another child instead of a DH?[/quote]
