Would you even know what a "LAN party" is? or what that means? |
I found out what a "LAN Party" was this past summer when my 15 y.o. son & his friends had one - or two. My son plays WOW... but he also spends a lot of time going for walks, swimming, running (3-5 miles/day). He seldom misses school, gets straight A's, he rides his bike, walks two miles to the store - just to walk, he's social, has friends, and helps neighbors with yard work (for free/just because). He hardly ever watches TV (because "it's a waste of time"), he prefers to cook his own dinners, and he makes his own breakfast & lunch - every day. He's very physical - he works out daily; doing 18 chin-ups and around 3000 crunches (+ the running, swimming, biking and walking). He keeps his bedroom spotless without being told, and he does the dishes every day. He also takes out the trash (but usually has to be reminded), will clean the bathrooms when asked, and he seldom complains. When he *does* complain, he typically comes back & apologizes for it.
Oh, umm... I just thought I'd take this opportunity to brag about my son! He's a good kid!

He has his moments! LOL However, I agree - I'm blessed.
My main complaint: He sleeps in his clothes (jeans/t-shirt) and wants to wear them the next day - even after taking a shower. There's more... this is the main one.

Im not going to argue the rightness of Christians playing these games, however a lot of these kids really don't spend that much time, are said to be very intelligent and have great eye hand co-ordination....
It's also said they have parents with credit card bills mounting

LOL I can see that as being true! But my son hardly spends money, or asks for us, his parents, to buy him things - so the WOW subscription wasn't a big deal.
