My nine year old now routinely beats me at Call of Duty deathmatches.  And...now...when playing Nazi Zombies, he tells me what to do.  And gets frustrated with me when I don't do it the way he wants.  I'm worried that pretty soon I'll start showing up with my bruises on my face and telling people I fell down the stairs or walked into a tree...

Oh well...I'll always have Burgertime...

Try to find a game he is crap at and berate him when he fails.  Like a classic game of Pengo or Pacman.  Do that enough and he will chill it out.  He wants to shine and show how cool he is.  He just needs to be introduced to the deep end, every now and then.  If it is a physical thing find something you can participate that doesn't kill you but tires the little guy out.  House painting is a good one. 

Remember we are supposed to be scared of our fathers, so don't wimp out if he steps in the red zone.

My other brother is like that.  His kids just learned to mistreat him in the pool, especially at Water Polo.  When they try that trick on me I give them a lung full of water.  >:D   None of his kids steps out of line or gets in my way in that house plus they always let me win at Scrabble.   :laugh2:

stu33san... paint the fence.  Up, down, up, down, left, right, right, right, A B A B Select.

Oh yeah.  It's just tough once they start beating you at things...it's also awesome all at the same time...

Besides, every time we're done with Call of Duty, his brother, him and I all spend a good 30 minutes wrestling and beating each other up.  Don't see myself losing that one for quite a while.
