Our son, who is in 1st grade, has been asking for Ipods, Ipads, cell phones, Nintendo DS3, Nintendo DSi, and the like. We just keep saying no! We don't have a tablet. We recently got a Wii. We don't have cable, but we have a lot of videos and DVD's. (And while I type, I am sure that someone could laugh at the video ownership.) Anyway, WHEN? That's his question, every time this conversation comes up. WHEN? (NEVER!!!!)
The fact is that I just don't have any desire to give him ANY of these things! I am afraid they'll lead to brain drain! HAHAHA! (Do I sound like my mom?!)
One of our friends' son has a cell phone at the age of 12. Landon thinks that he should be able to have one in 5 years! REALLY! . . . NOOOOOO!
It's truly unreal how children today are plugged in. Unfortuantely for parents, we still hear those
pain- staking words, "I'm BORED!"
