I have a 9 year old that I am trying to keep busy off the games as well. He plays a lot of sports and is really good at it. Scouts, but isn't that into it yet. I also have him taking guitar lessons. I just got a set of drum (for me) that I think he wants to play. I told him to commit to the guitar a little more and I'd let him take drum lessons.

He loves to tell me about Lebron James and all kinds of BS from these stupid games. We have a wii, and I refuse to play it with him. I told him I would never be proud of his accomplishments in a video game. Harsh I guess.

Got a kindle last Christmas (2012) and after getting a bunch of stuff this year (2013), two days later asked me to download some damn game that the kindle was advertising in the margins. I took the think away for a month I was so angry. It's like an addiction.

I played games when I was a kid...they were not as addictive. I also liked riding my bike and had a job, etc. I WISH I had the opportunities to do things that my kids have.
