At least they're at my house, where I can keep up with them (not doing their homework!)
I'm glad they feel comfortable moving the furniture around to meet their needs too!

I'd have a hard time resisting. I was so much more into video games than either of my kids! Actually, both of my boys are dyslexic and back before the 3d stuff, there were side scrolling games that I encouraged them to play. Part of training this disorder is to teach to go from left to right. The three of us played a lot of them together. Our fav was Donkey Kong Country. (Of course I also played tag and kick the can with them too). Still, at 53, I swap games with students. Lent out Zelda, the Windwaker just today. I also teach Calculus and I tell my students (and mean it) that solving some of those hairy problems is like figuring out a dungeon in a Zelda game. I get the same kick out of both. I see nothing wrong with it in reasonable doses. Just make sure they don't bowl or light sabre the controller through your tv!

Smart of you, Mr. Silver! Looks like they're playing MarioKart and it looks like a blast! My parents felt the same way.. all my friends use to come to our house and hang out and eat our food but I think my mom preferred that at least we were at HER house under HER roof where she could see what we were doing. I probably have some karma owed me once I have kids and they grow up to be teenagers.

I really like video games...my friends think I am very weird, but I will often sit with their kids for a bit and play.

I got a wii because I like the boxing, it's a pretty good workout. I never get to play it, though, because my 4 year old plays lego star wars for an hour every night practically.
