I have no idea who thought up video games. However, I am thinking of doing a little research on the subject just so I can send the jerk wad a nasty letter.
You would think that something that can keep your children occupied for hours at a time would be greatly appreciated by most mothers. Most mothers do not live in my house and are not married to my husband... who incedentally is the owner of said play station 3 and lets NO ONE forget it. I have four children IF you don't count my husband. Three of my children are boys ranging in age from 3 to 8 years old. Thank GOD the 20 month old girl hasn't figured out how to use the ps3 controller as of yet.
Now you may be assuming that the problem is wasted hours all tied up in violent and gory games. If so, you would be wrong. The problem is that the little ones can't take turns and the big one doesn't know how to share. That may evoke a tiny giggle...Let me assure you that this is serious and is no laughing matter. It has gone so far that the boys aren't allowed to play the ps3 at all. My husband has a safe that is made for holding guns....big guns. Apparently, this safe is also made for holding Playstation game discs and controllers becasue they are all inside. Not even I, the QUEEN of the castle, am able to access the safe. No, Only the king has the combination for the safe. This way I can't secretly allow the kids to have hours of mind rotting, soul defiling fun playing his ps3 while he isn't home.
So, now the kids whine and beg and I am impotent to ablige them. I also am unable to get to the guns...just in case the need to protect my family should arise...but hey... all the games are in their cases and the cases are in their places and all is right with the world.
