Relaxing at the end of a work day has many benefits. One benefit is that I usually relax with my kids. They are four and two. Too young to do most of the things that I enjoy, but not too young to have fun with. Another way I like to relax is by doing something that I enjoy and is just for me.
For me, that’s video games. My wife offers me space when I first come in the door at night. She knows that I need some down time before I can relax with her and the kids. I need a little time to blow off the stress of the day and just zone out. What I usually do during that first hour home at night is sit alone in the family room and play for awhile.
I recently decided to buy Nintendo dsi. My wife was all for it. She said that it would be something that would serve more than the purpose of me playing games, it would also help me by being portable enough for me to bring along when I needed to travel. I can use it anywhere, and it offers me more than gaming. It also has things that help me communicate.
When I read the Nintendo dsi reviews, I saw that there are a lot of people my age, almost thirty, who are into gaming and have actually invested in this system. I was hooked as soon as I read about how many things it can do besides the main thing.
I love to relax and play. But much to my delight, I am finding something else I love about it. My wife didn’t tell me she was going to, but she also decided to get a system for herself. Since it’s something that is highly interactive, gaming with her has become part of my down time after work. It’s really rather exciting.
She is usually in the kitchen with the kids when I get home from work. She plays from there, and I play from the family room. Since there is a chatting option, and an interactive camera, we can see each other. We have had more fun flirting with each other than we’ve ever had before. We are having so much fun, and we are both really glad we took the liberty to invest in this system. As silly as it may sound, it has added something to our relationship.
