Refugee from pluspora

Since pluspora seems to be closing, I decided to take refuge at nerdica for a change. I hope to reconnect with old friends and new ones.

My interests include, but are not limited to: #rpg #ttrpg #Shadowrun #boardgame #lego #starwars #theexpanse #tech #green #libertariansocialism #pluspora #GooglePlus #googleplus-refugees

With #Friendica, you can reconnect with almost everyone except Facebook-only people!

What’s your current LEGO project(s)?

My current Lego project is trying to get my kids interested in it. Lego seems to be losing the battle with computers and tablets, unfortunately.

I still have a couple of big boxes in my stash that I hope to assemble with them, but I'm starting to feel like we're not a great match for doing that together; I want to assemble them quickly and efficiently, whereas my youngest wants to play with every piece and then gets distracted.

Ha, sorry about the disappointed expectations! We're also very different, my kid and me, when it comes to LEGO, but I'm also very different from how I was as a kid, so I learned to let go.

As an adult, I like to build and expose models, while my kid likes to play with the sets and the minifigures. Although last night he built a full set on his own so maybe it is changing?

In any case you can't force much, if it doesn't catch with your kid now it's okay, and I hope you can find some solace in your kid getting interested in another activity!

My youngest has built some sets on his own, but he prefers that we build it together, where he decides who does what, while I end up doing most of the work, and he loses interest halfway through.

I fear he may grow up to become a manager.

This is more serious than I thought it was! 😱
