they didn't touch a video game until last year, 9 and 11. This siht is like crack, they can stay in their room full day and night and never need to see day light and be OK with it. My little one wanted a WII. We bought it so the two can play together. They were the outcast with their friends because all they talked about was their games and how to get pass a certain stage, so we decided to give in. My little one loves ro run around the outside especially the mountain. The older one is great at math and he's very hands on and is involved with his middle school's robotics team. They just won state and going to nationals in Iowa in a couple months. I think (I am crying here) the video helps him with some hand eye coordination. Thank goodness they are both readers and the little one loves and brings a book with him on longer trips and of course their game. Limit is the key. No freaking phone or games in a restaurant (except for me if a client or my workmen calls and if its important) unless we stay and talk for an hour after a meal. You bet your ass they time us but it rarely happens for more then 20-30 min after we finish eating.
I just can't understand the attraction. We had games back then and all my friends had them, but we were more interested in how to shoot down the city light with BB guns instead.
