Re: anyone's DH obsessed w/ new gears of war video game

  • LOL!  No suggestions on breaking the box, but my DH was obsessed with some game over the summer, I don't know what it was called, but it was ridiculous.  Thankfully, he beat the game, and that was that!

  • Have Oreo have an "accident"? on it? Stick out tongue

     

    Sorry girl..DH has zero interest in any of that stuff. I'm seriously so thankful! 

     

     

    It isn't like he has time to have a hobby, though..Tongue Tied

     

    TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*

    TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs

  • Haha yes! But that's okay then I can watch what I want on tv :). My DH will get these games and play them for like a week and then never play it again. Such a waste of $$
    Diagnosis: DOR and MFI-low everything IVF #1 = triplets! 2 girls and a boy! Born Sept 29, 2011 at 32w6d due to Pre-e and HELLP syndrome Lilypie First Birthday tickers
  • My DH took the week off for this purpose. I'm not kidding. He has basically done nothing but walk the dogs and play GOW. I had told him it was okay, as long as he understands that when this IVF process really gets rolling (we're in the BCP phase right now) he's going to really have to step it up in terms of helping me with things around the house and providing emotional support. He's a hard core gamer who used to play everything but now he really focuses on one or two games a year. Besides, since we got our dogs he really hasn't played all that much. So I am just riding this thing out, although i have to say, i do really miss watching TV.
