as a mother of 3 kids, my best advice is never let your youngest son name your toon.
they are all 4 years older now and they have stopped pulling at my legs complaining that they want fed, again!. i mean, every day
just after downtime when i am settling into my couch to look at the mineral markets and see how much of my escrow is left,
Up they come pulling at me saying things like mum i am hungry, whats for dinner?
dinner i shout?
you want fed again, you got food yesterday, but more importantly have you seen what the price of plex is today, and dont get me started on the isogen/mexallon prices.
only kidding
the kids were taken off of me 2 years ago when i was doing 7 days 23 hours of the legion blitz fleet. (good days when an NCO could be wiped out in less than 2 minutes, drive by stylee)

Nope, that's actually all true. She has exceptional verbal comprehension for her age.
But please, don't let my actual experiences with my child gainsay your expertise, oh random NPC alt. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

But please, don't let my actual experiences with my child gainsay your expertise, oh random NPC alt. confirming from first hand experience, both of my own twins and other children their age, they have actually been friends with. id say a third don't get what twins are but generally kids don't have trouble with the concept . What they frequently have trouble with is their parent confusing them by dumbing the explanation down or just using poor language thinking they are making it easier for them, kids are a lot more intelligent than you give them credit for. my kids have a remarkable clarity to their speech for their age also ,now it took nearly six months longer than normal to teach them how to vocalise anything at all (common with twins) but once they started talking the aforementioned scentance is trivial.

Oh, so much this. Most people handicap their child's development without even realizing.
Especially at that age, they're a sponge and they'll soak up whatever you give them. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

But parenting advice? In General Discussion of the EVE-O forums? I never imagined that happening. I thought I'd seen everything in here, but this is a new one. And frankly, it's hilarious.

as a child of a single working mother, Bull****. +1 Tbf my mother is known as "she who must be obeyed" and bedtime was 7pm sharp until I was about 10, then 10pm til about 15. Despite having a stressful job and being single, if she had wanted to play online games she probably would have made time when I was asleep. It wasn't a lights out policy (could read in room), but she made time to decompress after work doing what she wanted. It doesn't seem a bad policy once your children have a sleeping pattern to make a concerted effort to reserve a portion of every day for yourself. I go to friends-with-kids houses and notice some don't seem to have a particularly strict routine, bedtime is always a battle and the household revolves around the kids when they are awake. Their parents are often hiding in another room away from the noise anyway, and the only time they get to relax is when they pack the kids off to relatives.
Tippia wrote:Seconded. If anything, it's the nonsensical obsession of owning houses that has broken stuff We rented when I was a child, partly because my mother was so dismissive of the notion of home ownership. The landlord was responsible for maintenance, which is important for single parents who can't do a lot of home improvements. But the main reason was to free up money for things she saw as more important, like holidays. That attitude resulted in her being constantly criticised by friends and family when I was growing up but we used to travel 6-8 weeks every year abroad and domestically which was awesome. There's no house for me to inherit as an adult, but she acted as guarantor on my morgage, which I wish I hadn't got now as the house is in negative equity anyway :P DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! |

If you do not give yourself, your spouse, and your child the time and space to be complete human beings with their own opinions, relationships, and interests (including gaming) then you will all come out of the other end of next few decades physically and emotionally crippled. Make time for yourself. Make time for each other. Share your interests, but allow everyone to find their own way to engage. The rest is just bookkeeping.

Love Child - The documentary For a start, anyone who "seriously games" generally doesn't do anything else. In morality or ethics discussions, extreme cases aren't helpful. That extreme case from South Korea is from a country catapulted from rural Confucian values directly into the highest tech available. They have bought into gadgets and technology 200%. Indicative of this is the solution: outlawing children from gaming between midnight and 6am. Here we have the state stepping into people's lives due to pessimism about common sense, possibly the worst solution that could be tried. Think about that, laws governing your children's hobbies. My wife is South Korean, by the way. Also, the fact that parents raise their kids "how they see fit" is far from new. I've been places where children are raised to be savage, selfish and manipulative. To do any different would be to set them at a disadvantage with the prevailing culture. When you judge others on how they raise their kids, you are straying into the forbidden triangle of relationships / politics / religion that shouldn't be wandered into lightly, because people kill each other over these things. Damn son. I've been to war before. After all, it is our favorite passtime.

I'm impressed by the simplistic, one-liner dismissals of what is more than just a little complicated. For instance, selling houses priced at a certain amount to people who obviously couldn't afford them...gets turned into a neurotic obsession to own a house. That was a cute right hand turn there. The lenders knew the borrowers couldn't pay, but they were bundling off the mortgage anyway....SO. Nice try there.
In the U.S., by the way, "people" get really good to you when you OWN your house. You even get a higher class of junk mail; stuff you never see as a renter. Of course, home ownership makes for stable neighborhoods and communities is an undisputed fact. No, we aren't taking seriously everyone exercising a supposed right to free speech who think they're experts. We understand the logic of the infallible brain, and other works of fiction.
Parenting in a world of people destined for economic slavery gets rather difficult, I guess. Is your goal to have children who don't get arrested, but land jobs? There's no more to it than that...or to make good shoppers...yeah. Count your change...or be able to tell if you're being screwed by a credit card company. Wait, everybody's being screwed with credit cards. Right. Or the 401k. Oh yeah, everybody's getting screwed with those, too.
Actually, being a human being in this world today is rather vapid and one-dimensional. Let your kids do what they want. Hell. Give 'em the car keys at ten years old. Letting them be FREE has to be more important than any other consideration. There I go again...there ARE no considerations! This gets easier by the minute!
I was raised by an uneducated misanthrope who sided as a geek in a carnival. My dad was a Sunday driver who refused to buy us seafood on our outings. I turned out alright! There's your standard. Raise your kids like EVE players think they should be raised! If that's not good enough for you, ask about it in WoW. I'm sure they know.

In line with the original question...
I have a 9 year old girl, a 5 year old boy, and we just had our third, another girl!
Yes, I have to wait until after bedtime to get some playing in now for a while and mostly tend to the skill queue, but that is ok with me for now. I still get to do some solo roaming at night and now I am getting into a bit of industry as well (never really touched it) and looking at some market trading. I feel there is always something to do in the game although I cannot be on as mush as I was until the little tot gets a little older. The best part is the older sister can give a helping hand to alleviate some of the burden.
It is no big deal. The game does not rule my life; I enjoy it for what it is: a game. Fly with your hair on FIRE! |

I didn't game when my kids were younger. Once they could walk, talk, and routinely use the bathroom on their own, I felt confident enough that between my wife and I we could handle it.Now they are all teenagers or grown and out of the house, so I'm rarely bothered by anything more complex in the parenting department than "No, you're not wearing that to school, I can see your ass cheeks hanging out the back of your shorts." and "Yes, I know she's a complete *****, but she's your cousin and you can't really say that at Thanksgiving." De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null. |

This is pretty much the approach my wife and I took. We taught them the important things (like ethical behavior) and let them figure out the minor stuff (like pulling the TV off the stand onto your head hurts) on their own. My goal as a parent was to raise well adjusted, critically thinking, reasonably intelligent members of society. What they choose to make of themselves in life is on them, not me.
Though for the record they seem to be doing alright - one wants to be a cop, one seems to want to do "something in construction" like his grandfather, and the youngest wants to be an artist (or maybe a linguist - she can't decide. I told her to do both.)
De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null. |

One person I know is logged-in 23/7, but only at the keyboard a few minutes at a time.
There are ways to make it work, if you are willing. |

PI. Lots and lots of PI.
Lost a Stiletto the other day because I left it at a gate in Null to attend to the mini-missus.
I am basically logging in to check the skill queue and PI on the side to keep up a reserve. Play time is down to minutes a day. |
