My husband's brother taught my kids (at an early age) to cheat on board games, etc., - needless to say, we had to teach them how NOT to cheat!

Around my house "wanna see something gross?" is a definate conversation starter. <br /><br />Yeah, Sean was always, the xbox cheats! So I feel your pain. I had to make a rule that if he was going to play he couldn't get mad when he lost or I'd put it away while he calmed down. Do you know how hard it is to wrestle an xbox 360 from a 16 year old boy who's bigger then you??! Haha. I tease.
