That is EXACTLY how it goes down in our house. When they try to say something to me about Minecraft, my response every time is, "Cool. Where's your father?"

In reply to Adrian. Ooof, those are long, complex tales. If you had two, then you'd prob get to hear FIGHTING about LOTR and Minecraft!

I hear ya. Not only does my son love Minecraft, he also knows EVERYTHING about Lord of the Rings and wants to tell me in great dragged out detail. Sometimes I just want to poke out my eardrums with a fork just so I don’t have to listen to it all. Maybe I should have had another kid just so he would have someone to talk to…. It would be just my luck if that kid hated minecraft and LOTR just as much as me!

THANK YOU for writing this post! Although my kids are older, 15 and 17, my younger son played a LOT of Minecraft–so much so that we actually had to begin cutting him off…gradually…didn't want him to go through withdrawl. This post was fun to read and brought back loads of memories. I pinned it to my "parenting" board on Pinterest for other parents to read it, too!

We have an extreme MineCraft addiction here! My 8 years old continually tries to email Notch suggestions for upgrades. We go to sleep talking about Minecraft and it is often his forts thought in the morning. I started to learn a bit…the old "if you can't beat them join them" thinking
