No More Mr. Nice Guy :-(

Last night's scenario....
6:50pm: I shout up to Maddox from downstairs "10 more minutes, Maddox". See, Maddox needs many warnings prior to shutting off his video games for the evening or else major meltdowns occur.

7pm: "OK Maddox, time to stop video games." Silence. "Maddox!" Maddox shouts down: "Be quiet! Leave me alone!"

Seriously? You're 4

I climb the stairs silently and turn off the game. After immediate wails & protests (I think the word "stupid" might have even been uttered), I pick him off the floor and carry him sideways to his room, like a surfboard.

Original theory confirmed: video games are good for nothing
