Geeking with the Moms

Welcome to Gaming With The Moms, the podcast about gaming with families! This week Nicole Tanner is out in Ohio, so Linda and Simone are joined by Courtney and Keezy to discuss screentime and online multiplayer games.

Managing time is especially difficult when it comes to online games, where other people rely on your participation. This week we have some solutions to managing screentime, and some stories about what our parents did to us.
