I wouldn't mind if he helped - but he'll most likely get up and then play his computer game all day....I can't go and do something for me if I know he leaves DS plonked in front of the TV and only gets up to him when he really cracks it

I dunno....I think I am being a bit of a sook this morning...
mayb the power lead out of the comp will just go missing???

go to the park together.. drag him out of the house.. then he has n choice.
