Dad nails Xbox to tree

iReport.com: "My husband had repeatedly warned our 3 boys
about their behavior while playing the XBOX. Tuesday, after
I arrived home from work, our oldest son told me to look in
the backyard at 'Dad's artwork'. Well, I wasn't surprised
to see the XBOX proudly displayed on the nearest tree..."

We've taken away all gaming from our kids until school starts.

Hmmm, I would have thought the opposite would be more benefical. Game all
you want before school starts because then its nose to the grindstone and a
max of 5 hours of gaming during the week, etc...

Even during school, we have strict limitations on game time. All
homework, music practice and chores first, then one hour of game time.

But we got so sick and tired of hearing them bicker while they played
Lego Indy. Co-op my ass.
