            smartmummy:
            May I know what kind of game?

            some games that needed to go often so better stop playing.
            Some games that you can show off ur intelligence like jewelgame .... it make him to run after it.So better stop playing by himself or u remove the game package,he may beat u in anger as he so addicted.So firstly talk to him,ask him some qns like does it help u in anyway?
            Why are u playing this?
            If it is hobby choose a game and make sure not necessarily go everyday.
            If you can't control you so better to stop for the baby.

            I did like that,I really can't control myself so remove the game from my computer.Then for my son.Luckily my DH not game addictor but he live on his own world.Now better.

            Hmm... Thats something to think about. But you know how men have obsessions and the game is just part of their favourite topic? (not trying to be sexist here... Hee) And why do men need personal time so much I wonder. (not trying to be sexist again)

            I feel so bad if I have to say to a full grown adult \"You can only play for3 hours a day, or only when ah boy is asleep!!\"

            Maybe I will say something like \" You know, if boi boi sees u play so much, next time he might follow. Then he will flung his studies, then need tuition that cost hundreds of dollars\". :idea:

              A 2 year old, who believes he's already 16, independent and rebellious.

                It does not matter what games. Your husband is not \"young at heart\". He has not grown up at all. But I feel sorry for you because this seems to be quite common. I have a relative in his late 40s and is a banking professional. But he spends all this time at home either watching DVD or playing computer games. He claims that is his right since he does not have any other vices!!

                  Hi missk!

                  He need to be educated.May be let him to read a book from library like "How to be a good father?"
                  for get rid of addiction I read somewhere, u can try new skills then u eventually find that interesting and left the other addiction thing.they suggest try cooking or play outdoor games.Why don’t you join him in the evening and play outdoor games.or asked him to take care ur child at playground?
                  Firstly u educate him he cannot waste time on playing games.If u tell he cannot listen.book will help.Its a long journey.but can be done.

                  My DH didn’t do anything at home,simply said I don’t know.Slowly, I educate and make realise him that his responsiblities at home.Early years I did with my baby,its very difficult then I didn’t expect from him any work from him.So I can reduce my disappointments and can be calm and happy with child.I brought him outside and relaxed myself.So at home I happily spent my time.He lazy to do exercise then I borrowed books from library, he doesn’t like to read books too,but I always read books,then he slowly read books.Then he came and tell me this food good and that food good and walking is good exercise.Now everyday he go for jogging after work.Sometimes early in the morning also go for jogging.He can take care kids in the playground or bring them to library or cinema.If I ask he can mop.He happily do (cos exercise).Previously not like that, asking why u cannot do(cos I am a SAHM).

                      I suggest you bring him get some medical help. maybe it's some kind of addiction. i won't be able to tolerate if my husband is constantly on his phone - playing games. hope things will turn out well between you two

                        As a guy, my feedback is a matter of perspective. To most guys, 1-2hrs gaming per day is "normal".


                        However, I see my wife on whatsapp almost every moment, to extend when she cant give the kids her full attn, will be whatsapping while having activity with kids. To me, this is abnormal and bad example to kids. what do you girls think?
