Sick + video games = healthy?

I was just recently talking with my lil brother and he told me something quite funny in my opinion. Last week he caught the flu and stayed home. Our mother (Thank god I moved out) decided that if he is well enough to play videogames he's well enough to go to school. So they argued a bit and then she took the router and disconnected the internet. In order to get his internet back he went to school the next day, but was sent home by the school nurse after the first class. even after that she would not allow him to play videogames and watch tv. So, what's your opinion. P.S. He had a 101 temp.

Is the mother crazy or is she right? Playing videogames means your healthy?

Actually for me i tend to refrain from playing game that is mentally intense like metal gear of even touhou for that matter since it can be stressful and may make my fever worse... But i think it helps playing casual games for relaxation purposes... But it's all a matter of opinion... Nothing is really right of wrong here...

To answer the question i think being able to play while being sick is not being healthy... And being able to go to school when sick is not being healthy..and going to school is much more tiring than playing games so it's actually the other way around, if you can go to school when your sick its most likely that you could use the computer when your sick.

Oh I love discussions like these. If only my mother would actually read them. I asked my bro again about what father said about him playing video games when sick. Well, the response was certainly different from my mother's. My father said at that time -- after my bro was sent home by the nurse -- let him play video games. Only after he finishes the homework he got from school. I was actually surprised he would say this since he is a bit more strict. I asked him about that and his response: "If I didn't have TV when I was sick I would throw a fit".

Oh father, if mother could only understand... And keep the comments coming guys! Love reading this. My bro was jumping up and down with joy when I told him about the Polls. I'd show him the thread, but he's just a bit young.

I could still play the wii even though my hand was incapable of writing at the time. Bloody soccer ball.

ok that was not cool of your parents (no offence) but i look at video games as something to get you mind of of being sick, like if im sick i play video games and eat a nice bawl of ramen noodles and the next day im good as new.
