Hello my Old Friend

I've been threatening myself the last few weeks that I'm going to try blogging again. Not sure what tone it's going to take. Millionbicycles.blogspot.com hasn't really gone anywhere. I guess as newly weds we have erm... other things to do.

A colleague of mine is quite active on the Xbox forums and mentioned something interesting (to me in any event).

It is an interesting posting on a new feature Microsoft is launching that allows better parental control. In summary you will be able to set up daily time limits on your children's profiles. I'm sure a lot of kids will not like this idea but I think it is great.


Just imagine it... you've just slayed the evil black dragon and you're about to finish the game and.... time up...

That would be very frustrating, but in the bigger scheme of things there are so many other much more constructive things parents should be having their kids do that build character instead of pride, arrogance and selfishness.

We visited some friends who have just given birth to their 3rd child. (4th if you count their adopted one as well).

It is always refreshing to see the way they handle there kids. They're involved, they love, and they discipline. It makes such a difference. Before we planted the East Rand Church we use to meet at each others houses to discuss and dream about how we would get this thing off the ground. The 3 kids would come along with them often wherever we met. I can't remember a single instance when their kids were difficult. And it's not because they're quite and reserved. They are quite active, yet they are considerate and they understand authority.

First post done.
