Video Game Frustrations
ARGH. I am a very patient person and can tolerate almost anything but the sound of a whining mixed with screechy is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I just want to flee! Every once in a while my son will get a new game that is just a little but too hard for him . Not so hard that it is boring buy hard enough that he gets REALLY frustrated and starts to while and shriek and sometimes even bang his Nintendo DS. I am very pro-video games but doesn’t mean I enjoy playing them! I like more of the puzzle type games not ones were I have to defeat giant metal robots or complete Herculean tasks. So when a four year old thrusts a game console at me screaming to fix it or beat it am not jumping up an down with enthusiasm.
I do my best to calm down and redirect but I know I am in for a long day when the screeching starts….
Wish me luck!
