It's WAY too soon to be stressing about it but it definitely has crossed my mind. I think I'm with Tori...the time limit is the way to go. That way Grant can have it to look forward to as a reward and not see it as an everyday, all the time thing. And I know ya'll are outside a lot and doing fun family things, so that's great! Gotta keep a good balance between the outside time and the couch time. I can't wait until E is big enough to play ball and frisbee and ride bikes! I REALLY miss my bike-riding!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332112931728812146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-47468536922609498392008-08-27T18:18:00.000-05:002008-08-27T18:18:00.000-05:00Chris won't allow the kids to have video games - a...Chris won't allow the kids to have video games - at least not now. He thinks they should be outside playing. <BR/><BR/>But we recently played the Wii at our friends' house, and he thought that would be the best option if ever we were to get them something.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah - Mason thinks we are the worst parents ever, but he'll get over it. Like you, I only had Atari and don't even remember playing it THAT much.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470761910343689344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-54550571208237667432008-08-27T14:15:00.000-05:002008-08-27T14:15:00.000-05:00you're right there is balance with everything....you're right there is balance with everything. as it goes is our household, we have a WII and 1) when we play it we play it as a family or 2) alex and elijah play together and it is never more than 30 min to an hour and then off it goes. it is fun & the boys have a blast playing. i say do what is best for your family. elijah has a v-smile for the tv and a hand held one. the hand held one has come in so handy from time to time just when we have long car rides or something. we also have a ps2 that we've had since before mark and i got married and we use it as our dvd player as well as play games too. so i don't really have a suggestion other than yes they can be addictive, but so can many other things. we have a great balance of outside time, reading, game time, tv time etc. just do what fits your family....<BR/>toritorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318455950514495423noreply@blogger.com
