[QUOTE="Lil, post: 654088, member: 17309"] LOL - I don't hate video games because I'm some old fogy and think they're bad or because those new-fangled gadgets are going to ruin our youth. :p I hate them because my kid would have such fits and tantrums over them, but wouldn't give up when it was clear they weren't even any fun! I've played them, quit when I got frustrated and realized I wasn't having fun. I actually had a great time playing once when I used one of Jabber's characters on a game that gave me basically superpowers and I could just plow thru the bad guys. I like the Wii sports games. I think they're just fine...in moderation. No, I just hate them because they represent every bad thing about my kid. Lazy, sit-on-your-butt, eyes glued to a screen, refusing to do anything, disassociating from the family, getting angry over stuff that is SO unimportant! He was a totally different kid when he wasn't playing them. But I don't blame the games...they're just the unfortunate object I associate with his behavior. Kind of like how I hated Butterfinger candy bars for years after finding a bug in one. Just an association thing. Then of course there's Jabber playing World of Warcraft ALL THE TIME! (Yes Dear, it makes me crazy sometimes.) LOL! ;) [/QUOTE]
