And your job is to limit.

That's called being a parent. It's not all fun and games. Part of being a parent is teaching your son about life. Life isn't all about what YOU WANT. Grow some damn balls!

Kids don't ride bikes and play outside these days, it's all different than when we grew up


Yes they do. You have to encourage it. Maybe start by spending some time outside with them. My son love gaming also, but he also enjoys being outside. He has a good balance of both.

All Thanks for sharing...

I am sure I didn't communicate our situation all that well some of the comments I just have filter..:)

I also see people reading their phones like the Sunday paper while driving... is that scary to you that we're all so distracted by an electronic device?

Yes, I could be more Consistent as a parent...I hate to be one always climbing on our sons case, "taking his fun away". My wife nags him to death, sometimes I feel it for him...

I hate that this is an issue on some level for every parent...with boys

I played defender at the mall until I ran out of money.

That's what I remember growing up.

.I have no interest playing video games

My 45 year old neighbor plays all the time when he isn't working... his 9 year old son never comes outside anymore, always gaming...just like his dad...

Nice family, not weird, just an observation.
