He doesn't care about developing games, he just wants to spend more time with you. Developing games is just the angle he found because you are a developer.

I'm half agreeing with you. Clearly, he wants to spend some time with me, that's for sure, but he's also passionate about video games (who isn't?) and he truly want to learn.

On my end, I see this as a win-win; I get time to spend with my kids, share my passion and allow him to learn things he likes. If it leads to him not wanting to do this, we can find something else to share.

Well, I hope for both of you that you are right and that he _really_ wants to learn, because it will be a drag if he actually doesn't.

My fingers were ready to type out the same idea. Now I don't have to. Thanks.
