If I'm on BB too much in the evening DH just asks me how things are going "in PMS world" - as he calls BB.

We've had times when DH has been on WoW and just on it solid for 36 hours then complain he's tired. He's missed meals or snacked on them for 3 hours in front of a computer, he's missed beautiful sunny days out with DS, he's missed so much... then he realised he was missing when DS and I were chatting, DS had a few words and had started to play with Duplo bricks and trains.

I find there's no point in rules. I just make my company more desirable than that of the computer. Yes, DS watches some TV when I have to cook without him. Yes, DH and I both use the computer and internet. Some evenings we just slob out in front of the TV. BUT we do talk and enjoy our time together.

When it comes to DIY, no recreational activities until it's done or done for the day (eg can't paint a topcoat until the bottom coat is dry). So if DH said he was going to paint the ceiling after I'd cleaned it that morning he gets no TV until it is painted. But that's a rule that has just come about because if we don't do something now it doesn't get done.
