Started playing Minecraft with my two boys last month and I thought it would be boring but I'm actually having fun. We're building this crazy world together and they're excited to show me their stuff every day. My wife was skeptical about screen time but honestly it's the best bonding time I get. Anyone else gaming with their kids?
Man, this hits different when you've got four of them. Getting even two kids focused on one thing is gold. Minecraft worlds are the best because there's no pressure, just creativity and hanging out together.
This is so cool to hear. I've been meaning to jump into games with my kids more instead of just letting screens be the babysitter. Sounds like you're building some real memories there.
Gaming with the boys is honestly one of my favorite things now. We have our own little server and it's become a real bonding thing. Plus when they beat me at something they feel like legends. It's way better than I expected too.
That's awesome man. One of my favorite memories from co-parenting is the random afternoons when we'd play something together that neither of us thought we'd enjoy. Those moments stick with you way more than you'd think.
This makes me want to fire up Minecraft with my daughter. I always assumed it would be boring to watch but if you're actually playing together that changes everything. Do your boys help you build stuff or is it more competitive?
This is actually my current situation and I totally get what you mean. Thought I was just going to sit there and let them play but somehow I'm actually invested in our little world. How often are you guys playing together?

That's awesome! Minecraft is like the ultimate pillow fort for kids but you can actually build it without destroying the living room. My boys and I do the same thing and it's become our thing, you know?
