Just to let you know that I am still alive, I just don't have a lot of time these days for updates, I will try to post soon.

I got a second boy, the mother had a c-section so I need to do almost everything in the house. Posting should soon come back to a faster pace.

I have three boys. Age 5, 3 & 1. I noticed the other day that gnomeworks said he started playing D&D at age 6, learning from his dad. I know my oldest would be into it, but I don't know if I want him to start. He needs to be able to read first, anyway. & type in this case. But, hey, on ENworld, no one would know you were 8 years old!(?)
Anyway, nice of you to be so helpful to your wife. Good thing you Canadians have good paternity leave. (Don't you?)

When I started to play around the age of 10, I initiated my friend younger neighboor and his friend because we lacked player, they were both 5 or 6 years old. They made perfect fighter. Why do you hesitate to have him starts?, it can be a good incentive for him to learn how to read and write. If he wants all those cool feats he has to be able to read them right???
Well I am back to work today and just learned they will cut 300 people out of 550. As for the parental leave it is indeed very generous but my wife will take it all (1 year home with the baby).

I suppose it would be OK, if it helps teach him to read & type. I'm a bit self-conscious about my DnD habit, and only play online. I know my wife would be less than thrilled to see our kids pick up my gaming hobby. We'll see. Certainly we'll do lots of other gaming like chess, backgammon, risk, monopoly, scrabble, bridge & such, which I also love. Not to mention some good strategic computer games, like Age of Empires...
In any case, hope you keep your job.

No comment on how to raise kids, but I just wanted to say congratulations!

You have three sons, that's enough for a small party. You wouldn't have to play online all the time 
I enjoy playing around a table with family and friends. I know I will play with my son as soon as they can. I see it as a good way to bond with them. I also will enjoy playing chess, Axis and Allies (I really like this one, and it's not too complicated).
But I understand that you are not the only parent in the house, I also have my share of discussion on what is good and what is not for our children. D&D doesn't seem to be a problem (I was able to have her play in what used to be our montly game(before the baby)) but movies are and will be carefully inspected for any signs of violence. She thinks my father was crazy when he brought me at 4 to see Star Wars.
