Mrs. M used to get pissed at me for not easing up on our kids, especially our boys, when playing basketball, baseball, football or even board games for that matter. My response, which she quickly supported, was “when they can win, they will win. Life will give them nothing so neither am I”. (I may have taken it a bit far in basketball fouling more and more often as I aged to offset my waning skills in hopes of keeping ahead of them.)
I agree with this approach completely. I’m Gen X. I have 9 year old twins. I don’t let them win. I tell them it means something when they actually win. It has value then.

Twins do you say? Well, God bless and best wishes to you and your family! Enjoy the ride. Our time here is remarkably short. A Dad like you is priceless to your children.
