It depends on the game for me and the number of wins. Less so now that the kids are getting older. Some games I just don't play all out, I don't try to prevent access to double and triple word squares in Scrabble, but I don't overlook words I can use. In Clue I try to ignore hints I get from the kids guesses and just use what I get from regular play. That sort of stuff.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Oh- my mom NEVER let me win anything, and I am a super-competitive game player-- I hate losing! Make of that what you will!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am sure my parents let us win stuff when we were very young, but my grandmother and great aunts/uncles on my mom's side, they NEVER let us win anything on purpose and we played cards every day over Thanksgiving break. It was brutal games of hearts, canasta, spades.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I left all my energy and motivation back there in the Aughts.
This could be a problem.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For the most part, we don't let Emeline win. A lot of that has to do with her refusal to actually learn the rules of the game and just wanting to play it until she wins.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I think I left all my energy and motivation back there in the Aughts.
And mine are keeping your's company.

Over Christmas, I was playing Monopoly with my 9-year old niece and my 13-year old niece, and the 9 year old was trying to throw the game.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I let kids win up to about 8 or 9. After that, I might go a little easier on them, depending on how well they knew the game and how invested they were.

My nephew cheats, which aggravates Tom to no end. Therefore, he does not let him win.
With all this talk of RNs in demand, I wonder how my mom got laid off! She's an administrator though.
