Moms of grade-school boys

YES.

[rootbeerfloat]

DS, yes. My nephew would rather play sports outside, though.

[EmilieMadison]

YES. DS is 6 and that is all he and his friends want to do. And when its this cold, I let them. Sometimes I have them do legos for a while or something, but yeah. Video games.

I don't but my friend does. Her boys like to play video games, watch movies, play ping pong or have nurf wars. They then seem to enjoy eating their body weight in pizza.

My greatnephew is all about Minecraft. He was 8 this week.

I don't have boys myself, but I have nephews and yep, that's what they do for play dates. The boys in my neighborhood all do the same...they bring their laptops/iPads/whatever and gather at one house where they interact 100% online despite the fact that they're sitting two feet from one another!

Yes. KHC's friends come over with their iPads and they all get on the wireless network and play Minecraft together. It's amusing.

This. My 6 year-old is obsessed with Minecraft and so are most of his friends.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one where iPads/electronics are a common thing during play dates.
