Its amazing how many parents i see playing counterstrike and other online games..I dont know for anyone else but as old as my kids are their friends tell them all the time how cool it is to have ur mom and dad play video games..Im glad in some ways im a cool parent.I never wanted to be the parent that forgot what it was like to be a kid..With 4 kids its hard to keep up with all their diffterant interests...We have a 15 year old thats soo smart does well in school and is part of band loves to play the drums and play his video games as well..He soon will start driving talk about scared to death..I have faith that he will do well.We have a 12 year old thats into track and basketball and is part of band as well playing the claranet..she does well in school too....An 8 year old that is in pee wee cheerleading and her football team will be at the superbowl the 27th of this month hopefully bringing home a trophie.This spring the couches are discussing going to nationals for cheerleading.She wants to do that as well plus doing well in school and finally a 7 year old that is doing well in school too she to wants to cheerlead next year she says...Its amazing how time flys and how much u watch them accomplish threw the years...It seems just like yesterday they were learning to talk and walk....Its also very nice to have the man of my dreams to share all of their growing up with...I couldnt ask for a more understanding and loving family...they all understand that counterstrike is a large part of our lives and they know all of PHXX by their names and player names...They all see HitMans and I's clan like an extended family and know all that goes on...Another part of my family i love to spend time with and just hang out with when i have the extra time....I never thought playing a video game would give me as much as it has in the years ive played...I also never thought of all the things i would get out of being a mother of 4 and a wife for 13 years....Both have been unforgettable and amazing..

Guns, that's amazing! I'd like to be a super cool mom someday! =) As far as your extended family, I know what you're talking about. I see Spawnpoint as my home away from home, and my close friends like family!

I find it quite hilarious when peoplem find out on server that Raven the "admin" is old enough to be their dad.
I've stopped whole arguements on server by announcing that "If my 15 year old acted like you lot i'd ground her for a week!".
There still appears to be this "hoodoo" on gaming that oldies can't, or shouldn't play games.
Guns, I know exactly where you're coming from but I use my gaming to unwind from the daily work and family stresses. My Mrs has no interset in gaming so when i put my headset on and turn the volume waayyy up I get peace from here too :D
