- when you have to schedule gaming time slots on your computer room whiteboard because 5 family members playing World of Warcraft and only 2 computers in the house - it can become a real war! LOL

- when you ask your husband about his to do list on Saturday and he starts listing stuff he needs to do with his WoW character (talk about a wifely look of death)

- when all the kids are out of the house and instead of racing for bedroom you and your hubby race for the two computers that are....whoohoooo...not in use! finally you can quest together!

- when you reschedule dinner to a later time because hey! there's a major group heading off to do something really cool with great drops! and....hey that's what they make microwaves for right?

All jokes aside I do use WoW time as a reward for things like good school work with my youngest and it really works. For an online game that I used to think was a big time waster I'm actually really enjoying it. It's not often you can find an activity that a family that ranges from age 48 (anybody asks who is the 48 year old, ya die okay! ) to age 8 can all participate in and enjoy at the same level.
