The bloody trouble is we are only alive when we’re half dead trying to get a paragraph right. - Paul Scott
I'd use the splitting maul from the Firewood thread. Two words my kids are going to learn: Daddy's mean!Originally Posted by Adrian II

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Yeah, I remember that maul. It looked like you could split an average kid in two clean halves with that thing.Originally Posted by Vladimir

Well he can keep the kids. Perhaps it's best to use the DS as a tool to teach responsibility and humane behavior.Originally Posted by Adrian II

The first few years might be tricky. You will just have to be firm but fair. Tell your wife that you can't change the nappy since you are in the middle of a battle, but agree to take care of it the next two times.
Once the baby gets to 4 or 5, give it a Game Boy or something simple and it will stay quiet (well at least I would if I was a 5 year old). And then once its older it can play more advanced games and as long as its doesn't steal your PC then everyones happy.

At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
As a child of the modern nightmare, I feel obliged to impart the following:
There is no reason whatsoever to bring video games, or computers in general, into your child's life.They will do nothing but distract you from what is important, i.e. the sack of screaming meat that shall soon lay before you. As unappealing as it may be, give it the attention it deserves. And the other thing you have to remember is that it will turn out weird, no matter what. Do not blame yourself. It is at least partly the fault of the sack of meat. I, myself, was one of the worst children imaginable, but I turned out far better than my parents could have ever expected.
But, anyway, about the video games: forget all about them. They are ancillary. If you get a chance, go ahead, but remember that you have dedicated yourself to the primary purpose of life: passing on your genes. And what's more, since you are human, you just might be able to pass on parts of what's in your mind as well.
Good luck.
Edit: I just want to add my opinion on video games... keep them the hell away from your kid. All they do is distract the kid from real life.

I just asked my kid what that stupid dog game is called... Nintendogs. Can you believe it?
Wiki even has it listed, look at this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendogs
I could scream.
