“Your Parents play video games?”

I hear that a lot whenever a new friend or classmate comes to our house. It just boggles their minds that parents are into videogames. You should see the look on their faces when their friends come to the door and the get told “I’ll be out in an hour were in the middle of a raid” What?! You want to sped time with your parents? How weird!
Our house is the most hoping place in the neighborhood! I will only allow 2 friends each at a time (Because that’s 6 kids!) so it’s funny to hear the door bell and my kids will say oh so and so is inside right now can ya come back? And they actually stand there waiting so they don’t lose their spot in line! That is so crazy lol
Every parent in the neighborhood has our phone number and we are the first people they call if it’s time for their kids to go home.
We bought a 52 inch T.V for the Wii (We didn’t have a T.V in the living room before the Wii) we have the N64 set up in our sons room, we have 4 game boy colors and one DS lite a few plug and play games as well as 5 PC’s set up in our house. So there plenty for 6 kids to do without arguing over who plays what.
Summer has been crazy too; it seems that every night someone is asking to sleep over.
I just love it!
If you future Gamer Parents want some advice- Buy loads of popcorn it’s a cheap healthy snack and I haven’t met one kid who didn’t enjoy a fist full of warm popcorn and a controller in their hands! Not to mention it makes your house smell like a Video Arcade in a theater hehe
