How do I get my 32 year old husband to stop playing video games all day long?
Q. He is laid off right now and all he does is play PS3 all day and into the night. He pauses to eat and go to the bathroom.He barely interacts with the children. I just finished school and am looking for a job, taking care of the kids, and doing all of the housework. I think he is obsessed and I am contemplating just smashing the thing. Any alternatives? And I have tried taking to him about it but he does not seem to think it is a problem. HELP!!
A. Most men don't handle their feelings well and look for anything to avoid dealing with the issues they don't want to face. The only thing that seems to compete with video games(the modern day other woman) is your choice. Break your normal routine and see if he becomes curious. Start going out without him or the children- yes. Let him wonder. Enjoy time away from home-take yourself to dinner and dress for a date. You are going out with the best friend you will ever have yourself so look good(never know who will be checking you out) uplift your spirit and yourself-go shopping, leave home sexy and come back smiling. Wear provocative underwear on these occasions and make sure you stoop over when you come into the bedroom or undress in front of him but ignore him as if he is not present. Make sure you are pleasant and unusually happy & complain less --this will make him wonder. Make it appear you are preoccupied and don't notice it anymore. Pamper yourself-- even if you are going to the quick mart take that moment to make sure you are on top of it when you step out the door. If he doesn't pay this any attention you should check him there may be More going on than you think. If he confronts you here is your chance to share feelings and let him know what you miss about him that attracted you to each other in the first place and what you wish were different to better the relationship
What sorts of things do you allow your kids to keep in their bedrooms?
Q. TV? Computer? Video Games? Toys?
A. We have a play room downstairs and that is where the bigger TV and video game system. There is also the kid's desktop computer down there is as well as all the toys.
My older two who are 15 (twins) have a TV in their room and they each have their own mini laptops which they use for school work and surfing youtube etc...They mostly use them for school though to write papers etc... they also have a printer in their room. Other than that they have their beds, book shelves, desk and night stands. They keep their skateboards and helmets in their rooms as well.
My younger two (12 and 9) have a TV in their room, their beds, a shelf with some toys, mostly lego's, k'nex (things my youngest uses a lot) and a book shelf.
My kids rarely watch the TVs in their rooms. Only at night and weekends if there is something on they want to see and we are already watching something in the living room. Not just that but all my kids ever watch the history channel and discovery channel so I can't complain.
Honestly don't see the big deal. If a parent knows how to set limits and is involved with their kids then it shouldn't be a problem.
EDIT: Just wanted to add, I have a friend who says she will never let her son have a TV in his room and once told me she was surprised I allowed that. The funny thing is, her son sits on the couch in the living room and does nothing but watch TV from the time he gets home from school until he goes to bed. She even DVR's his shows for him so he doesn't have to watch commercials. So I guess she feels as long as he's a couch potatoe in the living room rather than his bedroom that makes it okay. Incidently, my kids rarely watch TV at all and they have one in their rooms! Like I said, it's parenting, not where the TV is.

Does anyone remember the name of a video game about toy airplanes?
Q. The setting is World War II. It's a dog fight between Axis & Allies, but instead, the war zone is a house, mostly taking place in a kid's bedroom. If anyone can remember the name of this game, that would be great. Thanks

How can i kitten proof my bedroom?
Q. I am going to adopt a kitten this week. She is going to have to stay in my bedroom until she can be de-clawed so she wont scratch all the nice furniture else were. How can i make my bedroom a fun, safe, and comfortable place for her while i am attending school? Please answer asap.
A. How to Kitten Proof Your Home
Kittens home safety tips should be considered almost before you bring home the new kitten. Learn how to kitten proof your home to keep her safe during the first baby-bumbling weeks together.
Think of the fur-kid as trouble waiting to happen. Normal kitten behavior gets these babies in trouble. Kittens poke with paws and knock breakables off tables. They bite and taste toys, toes, and other pets� tails. They dig potted plants, drink from toilets, crawl up the chimney, climb high�and fall far�from dangerous perches. How amazing kittens survive babyhood!
How to Kitten Proof Your Home
Ideally, confine the kitten to a single �safe� room you�ve inspected and stocked with all necessary kitty paraphernalia. But don�t neglect the rest of the house. Invest in kneepads and crawl around to view things at kitten eye-level, to predict and prevent problems, which might entice your furry dynamo.
Stop The Motion
Moving objects lure kittens to bite and play, and chomping a swaying electrical cord or even a telephone cord can kill. Get as many cords out of reach as possible, and immobilize the rest with tape or thread through a length of PVC pipe. Look for other dangerous temptations, such as the cords on Venetian blinds that can tangle or choke kittens.
A great training tool to keep kittens at bay is the nasty tasting bitter apple product available from pet supply stores. Vicks Vapo Rub also works because it smells very off-putting to most pets. Paint bitter apple or Vicks on forbidden objects to keep mouthy pets away.
Bang for Safety
Make a habit of banging on tops of appliances and checking inside before turning on washers, dryers, ovens or dishwashers. Kittens and many adult cats love warm hidey-holes and appliances can become deathtraps. The smell or taste of food left on dishes may lure a youngster inside the dishwasher, and you might close the door without realizing the kitty's inside. A new pet should be confined in a safe room whenever you can�t keep an eagle eye on her antics.
Put Away Plants
Plants and kittens don�t mix. If she can�t climb it, she may shred it, eat it, or empty it onto the floor and either the plant, the kitten, or both may die. Kitten-safe houseplants like coleus, piggyback, jade plant or others should be placed out of reach on high shelves, or hung from hooks. Sticky Paws, a type of double-sided tape product, works well to train kittens and adult cats to keep a respectful distance from forbidden plants. There's one specifically for plants.
Inspect Toys
Check all cat toys before giving them to the new baby. String-type objects and feathers provide lots of chasing fun, but if swallowed, can be lethal. Only play with string, yarn, and other swallow-able toys in supervised games and lock them away when you�re not around. Keep sewing supplies and fishing tackle boxes in secure cupboards. If you have a genius kitten able to open cupboards, invest in some child-proof locks to keep cleaning supplies out of reach. And be sure favorite yarn, ribbon, and fishing pole-type toys are kept out of reach when you can�t be there.
Countertop Cruisers
Make countertops near stoves off-limits, and enforce this rule even when you aren�t cooking. That�s not only a hygienic issue for you; it�s a safety issue for paw pads that easily burn. Physically remove the cat when you catch her in the act. You can cover the counter around the stove with tin foil�cats hate walking on this stuff, and it keeps most cats away. Or, place Sticky Paws on placemats that can be moved around to make it a less attractive perch. An innovative training product called the Ssscat� aerosol gives off a HISSSS of air that trains the cat to scat, when a motion detector triggered by the cat�s presence sets it off. You don�t even have to be present for it to work.
With the right preparation you can ensure your kitten remains angelic and turns away from the dark side that's filled with danger. You'll both be happier.
