[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5350936, member: 18701"] Wait, are you friends with my 9 y/o nephew? Cause I recently learned that is exactly how he acts when playing a game. He did pretty much what you're saying when I played Apples to Apples with him. Every single hand that he didn't win he threw a mild fit and sulked. Just do what I did with my nephew, tell him that it's not fun playing with him when he acts like that. And tell him that it goes both ways, the sulking & the whining need to stop. That's the kind of crap a child does. And if that doesn't work, then tell him what I also told my nephew (and apparently his dad told him the same thing); if he doesn't stop whining, you guys won't play with him. Just say you would like to play with him, but not if he acts like that, it's annoying. You don't even have to be a jerk about it. Just make a joke about it and laugh it off so he won't feel so stupid. It doesn't even have to be the focus of a conversation. Just bring it up in passing and then change the subject. Obviously he's thinking about it, so pointing it out again and mentioning the snide remarks are unnecessary, I'm sure he'll be thinking about it next time. It just sounds like he has a bit of growing up to do. It's not a big deal, he could be much more annoying than that (I've seen it). :lol: [/QUOTE]
