I play cash games every week and it takes the host forever to count people's chips when they want to cash out.
But, the another reason is that it's an amazing stress reliever. After a good grappling session, you will feel incredibly relaxed and calm.
But, as a parent myself, I looked at it from the other end. There are only a few years left of living with my kids. I try to make the most of it every day.
I took Robocode[1], made a basic Robot class that the kids could easily extend, and then taught them just enough logic and syntax so they could have their robots battle their classmates'.
It was a huge success. We had to close the door to the classroom because the kids were so loud, cheering their robots on.
Whenever a kid was called by the teacher to do their one-on-one, they protested "one more minute, I need to improve my robot!"
In September, my daughter starts university in software engineering; mission accomplished! ;)
