I've gamed since forever (been gaming before there were PCs--hence, 'forever'). I gamed hardcore until my marriage, since my wife isn't a gamer. Gamed even less when my son was born. Now he's 14 years old. I'd say the hardest years to game were up until my son turned pre-teen. Until that point I wanted to put time with my kid, be there for him rather than glued to a screen. Can't say I was even close to perfect at it, but that was the principle anyway. He's a gamer himself now, which is a double-edged sword of sorts.
Can't answer the more EVE-specific questions(only been with EVE since last year), but the topic is thought provoking in a more general sense too.
Good hunting,

This has been an interesting discussion overall. As I was going over the latest posts a question dawned on me: is there a corp made for parents out there? I know we have 'laid back' corps, but there's a specificity to parental 'laid backness.' Just wondering.

I knew my my daughter would be up getting ready for school just after DT so I called her and told her to log into my account and I walked her through doing both tasks.
Just as we were on the last planet, I heard the angry sounding voice of my wife asking why my daughter was on the computer playing games and talking on the phone when she should be at the bus stop...
Daughter -> MOOOOOM! IT'S DADDY'S PEE EYE! I HAVE TO SET IT OR HE LOSES ISKS!
Wife -> WTF did you just say?! Is that your father on the phone?!
Daughter -> JEEZE MOM, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS. DADDY'S CURLY CUE IS EMPTY.
Wife -> Give me that GD phone.
- struggle struggle grunt whine -
Wife -> Listen to me, GDI... I don't even know, nor do I care wtf a pee eye is or why you have a curly cue... but we're going to have a conversation when you get back home...
Me -> Love ya, hon... Late for a meeting.

Dude, I seriously hope all turned out well for you on this one. Totally hear ya. In fact, I'm glad I wasn't drinking coffee when reading your post as it would have been sprayed across the screen. Funny as hell--but only because I've been there and done similar.
Good hunting,
