my legs are okay
1. You can't get "S.I.M.P. Squirrels in My Pants" out of your head due to hours of playing Just Dance Disney Party.

2. You can only play split-screen games with the kids, otherwise they just slow you down.

3. You cloth diaper your baby in this.



(Available on Etsy, $17)

4. You have ever, even once, screamed "IN YOUR FACE!" at your kid after winning at Kinect Adventures!.

5. Instead of a stick figure family on the back of your car, you have Mario characters.

6. You've ever had "the talk" with your kids...about their poor gaming skills.

7. When someone says they're going to dress their baby in a creeper, you assume they mean Minecraft.

8. You can't wait for the kids to go to sleep so you and your husband can have a nice romantic night ski run on Kinect Sports Season Two.

9. On Facebook, you share more screenshots of your high scores than you do photos of your kids.

10. The advice you always give new moms: Invest in a good breastfeeding pillow. It really frees up your hands so you can play video games.

11. That moment you realize the kids are reading quietly, and you're still playing

Think back to your childhood, what did the sight of this make you do?

Or sometimes you didn’t need to see it, just the mention of the “saturn controller” would make you stop misbehaving or at least consider stop misbehaving when you were a child. True? I should point out I was never hit as a child, not even a tap with the 2600 joystick. But it would be mentioned. My friends mother, in particular, was a big fan.

Fast forward 25-30 years to tonight. It was one of those evenings. I was tired and hungry and the house was a mess. The kids were not tired at all and making the mess. I put them to bed. They got up. I put them to bed again and went downstairs to make my dinner. All three arrived down the stairs separately and many times, like the clever well thought out triple tag team that they are, their mission on nights like this, to break me.

“I’m hungry”

“My pillow isn’t working”

” What time is it?”

“I’m thirsty”

“He is breathing my air”

“She took my book”

They just kept coming, statement, request, statement, request.

Eventually they broke me. I was playing NiGHTS. I had a 3d controller in my hand.

I ran out shaking it, straight from 1996. ” Do you know what this is” I shrieked waving it in the air.

All three of them were on the stairs at this stage.

“Uhh isn't that for dreamcast or something” was the reply

“Do you know what I am going to do with it” I shrieked

( I ralise I am not coverin myself in glory with the retelling of this, I was not actually going to hit them with the controller, just to clarify, I just thought the sight of it would automatically make them rethink their actions)

“are you threatening to play sonic with us?” piped up the boy

“are you going to try to make us like virtua fighter again?" asked the big girl

The small girl just rolled her eyes and walked back upstairs.

They had no idea what I was implying with my scary face and the waving of the peripheral. I decided against explaining why they were meant to have the fear of it. Nobody likes a story of violence against children before bedtime. Obviously its great the kids have no fear of being beaten. Obviously. I mean it would’ve been handy, tonight, if they just automatically knew when the controller is mentioned, mammy means business, like we did as kids and to stop misbehaving, but they don’t. Good. Great. I can see that now, now that they are asleep and the house is quiet.

Anyway I put the sticks away, brought them to bed, they fell asleep eventually. The TV now stuck on the proaction replay start screen for hours. I’ll get a reward chart or similar tomorrow probably better than threatening them with game controllers……….

your name is kild, you get us kild, that's why we never put you in the party you piece of poo poo

v "moms are tough" is from final fantasy thirteen, right before the mom of a character named hope dies. then later everyone tells him "your name is hope, you give us hope" and it's what the game's writers considered one of its most moving lines. what the gently caress kind of imp are you
