[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another hard part is my husband doesn't see what the big deal is since he played unlimited video games as a kid and now as an adult doesn't play at all (one of my criteria when dating was no gamers!)[/quote]
I think Gen X and Millennial moms freak out about video games much more than dads do, because you didn't play video games growing up. All my male friends played video games when we were younger, going back to the Atari 2600 for many of us. It was a normal pastime for us, and we generally turned out just fine. So, when I see my kids playing Fortnight with their friends, it doesn't really bother me. [/quote]
Gen X (Atari 2600 and Nintendo) mom here.  I see some pitfalls in this generation's video game scene that simply didn't exist in our day.  [/quote]

Yeah, I had to laugh about the PP who smugly proclaimed that her MIL solved the problem by throwing the TV in the trash. So her DH is an adult now, so it was what — like an Atari or the original Nintendo (short games, press A to jump, ended quickly when you “died”)? Vs now, when it’s all online and the foundation of most boys’ social lives?

Yeah, sure. Just “throw away the TV.”  :roll: [/quote]
