Sick of your parents asking you to pause a live game???

Step One
Listen to Big Mama’s House Podcast – Season 2 Episode 3: No Mom, You Can’t Pause a Live Game. And once you’ve heard it, make your parents listen to it! Better yet, sit next to your mom, and when you hear Big Mama say *exactly* what YOU are always saying – just smile and say “You see???”
Step Two
Grab a copy of the digital flowchart for parents of gamers. It’s a literal step-by-step decision flowchart for parents to decide whether or not they should talk to you while you’re gaming.
