[QUOTE="ascendance, post: 3532987, member: 593"] Hey, I'm only writing this because I'm a teacher, and I'd really rather not see those bratty kids become somebody else's problem further down the line. You can take this advice or leave it, but I am speaking from the heart here. If you are at all serious about that SO, you better start forming some kind of relationship with those kids. Clearly, they need more structure in their lives, and a male role model. I'm not saying you should act like a parent, but as the old saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. Right now, you are part of their village, so you can't stand by and get away by doing the minimum possible. Don't give up on them, even if they are bratty undisciplined kids right now. And hey, they could be the next generation of gamers. Or, I could put it another way and say, man it up and live up to your responsibilities. Gaming isn't the be all and end all. Kids, on the other end, really should be. [/QUOTE]
