Call me old fashioned but shouldn't a 2 year old be kicking balls in the garden and playing in sand pits/ball pools/under-the-table-dens?

Staring at screen for hours can kinda come later, surely?

just sayin...

true, but seeing as this is a birds of prey forum & not a playing in sand pits/ball pools/under the table dens forum i thought id leave all that out lol. just saying whats relevant. Rest assured i wouldn't let my boy play for hours, just a little go here & there. like you say bro his turn will come later, just as my freind Olife says they could be playing bop 8 together in future.

Take him outside? We only let him out of his cage once a week for video games and potato chips.

Little boys like to copy their dads.. Nothing wrong with that.

Sure, my son likes to help chop wood and build/mend stuff, we wrestle, play and play with his youger sister...call me over cautious but Australia's now fatter than the U.S. and I just want to keep him on educational I.T. as long as possible (sure it's arguable that il2 IS educational and my Dad and cousin are both ex RAF but still....)...to each their own I guess.

I just make sure he's in bed before I place my shotty in the back of some unkowing fool's head on mw2 and spray brains;
he's not ready yet to learn about the "dark passenger"...

My daughters only 3 so she's not really interested in playing video games.... yet.

I reckon that a nice balance of education, fun and feeding curiosity will get you far as a parent. MW2 is a totally unsuitable for any child and I'm glad ur one of the sensible ones!

agree with u juz but like say my friend dinoh i wouldn't let my son play il2 during many hours,my passion is the planes and i want to share it with my son
when i was a young kid no video games existed and as i liked the planes ,i builted a scale models and played with it .now i built a scale models and my son is very happy to do it with me and play with it
in fact i let play him with il2 for a few minutes ,only in my presense ,he just discover the planes ,and he is very happy to do a trip in the sky, see the very nice landscapes of this game and see the others planes which cross him
