Update the weekend computer usage
At first I thought, it was the same thing, more hours of games because when I walked by I could see what looked like a Roman Coliseum on the screen. My first thought was killing and maiming gladiators. Later while working outside with my wife I said, I think we should quit taking him places and doing everything he wants, maybe then he will get off the computer and help out some around the yard and house. Linda said, "he's in there doing his homework" what? she continued, he and some classmates are building a coliseum online for a project. Later I looked over his shoulder and asked what he was doing, he said he was having problems because all they had to build with were square cubes, and they didn't make good looking arches or anything rounded. Tonight on the way home from Boy Scouts he will probably ask for a snack or drink somewhere, like he always does. Tonight I will oblige. John

ReplyDeleteIt's always better to ask before you jump to conclusions.Is the time kids spend playing on line games with their friends any less productive than the time their parents spend looking at on line stores or blogging? While it might not be your "ideal" use of their time it is far better than hanging out at the mall annoying merchants or smoking dope in the bushes by the transit center.I'm sure he would be glad to leave his computer if the offer to do something fun was made...probably not yard work, though I'm sure your parents would tell us thats what you enjoyed at his age. Or ask him what he's doing on the computer, by the time he's done explaining you'll be sorry you asked, but he'll think your interested and you get points for that.
