Teaching kids not to be "Timmy's"

Occasionally I like to have each of the boys here by themselves.  Lots of one on one time and they behave soooo much better when they aren't together, lol.  One of the things we always end up doing no matter which kid it is, is playing some Halo3.  When they are playing with either Sic or myself I allow them to use a headset.  That way I can monitor what they are hearing and what they are saying to other people...they aren't allowed to use them when playing without an adult.  I take this opportunity to teach them what is appropriate behavior for children online, no smack talking the other team, cursing or T-Bagging; and also how to communicate effectively with your teammates.  Yes, they do hear the way I talk, and perhaps it is 'hypocritical' of me to not allow them to do and say the things I do, but they understand the difference between acceptable child behavior and adult behavior.   Well, they are learning at least.  :) 

Anyways...my youngest son and I were playing with some 2o2p peeps and he started smack talking ME tonight, lol and then started T-Bagging the other team.  I had to tell him that wasn't okay, and that if he did it again he was done.  I can be sooo mean, lol.  I hope that by allowing them the freedom to play with us and to speak to other people when they are with us that it will help them to not become asshole Timmys in a couple years when I do let them use their headsets by themselves.  The two oldest get it a little more, my middle kiddo was doing great last week...calling out where things were, what was going on, who had what...all sorts of stuff.  He is becoming a very good teammate to have.  My oldest is much the same way, though he doesn't call out quite so much.  It really is fun teaching them this stuff, and it's something that most mom's don't really do with their kids, so I totally get to be the cool mommy!  Awesome!! 

On a related note...I really wanted to thank some people, you know who you are, who have played with the kiddos and me the past few weeks.  I really appreciate the way you've treated them and how awesome you have all been.  You guys rock!  Especially E, my kids LOVE playing with you, lol. 

Much love fuckers....I'm going to bed!
