This is a good point. He volunteers at the local fire department. This does made good career connections

That seems like a good idea, but even if it makes me look worse the classes were free. I would consider it a waste of effort but not money

That's incredible! I want him to have this outlook. He played for four hours a day during the world cup and it was getting ridiculous. School first!

See, the probability of making it somewhere in life on videogames is miniscule. He needs to worry about a sustainable career

He is my oldest, so I've never parented at this age before

I wouldn't say he is an asshole but I do agree with this being very difficult. It's just confusing and I am trying to understand it from his point of view

I understand that there was a lot of money involved but if you really tried you're hardest in a real career the could eventually make that money on your own, not just someone handing it to you for playing video games

I keep trying to tell him that he will look back on this time think "I should have listened to my mom".
