I know what you mean about the DS but all things in moderation, impressive patience has been shown and as the teenage years advance the opportunities to spoil your babes will get fewer - a little bit of what you really want and have waited is good for the soul!

Giving She-ra a hamster for christmas, even though I am totally opposed to pets as presents, was totally worth it and unbelivebly cheap too. Plus we had long chats afterwards about how Father Christmas got it down the chimney etc. Can't say that about a DS though. Sometimes giveing them what they really really want is so totally worth it.

Well it's not, but I'd be very unpopular! I had visions of them being around 10 before they laid their hands on such things but realistically it’s impossible.

He's effectively inherited my previous PowerBook, though he's never been officially 'given' it. But he has his own log-in (and carefully vetted web and application access). His typing isn't bad for 5 and three quarters. Nope. He’s effectively inherited my previous PowerBook, though he’s never been officially ‘given’ it.

Ds1 is 5 in December, and has on his list a Wii game (which is may be lucky enough to get) and a DS (which he will not). He spends far to much time glazed at the laptop already, and besides, I managed without one! I suspect I am a very mean Mummy, and he will probably never forgive me (or Father Christmas). I have toyed with the idea of makng him play constantly on the Wii for 24 hours to see if the flooding thing might out him off, but I supect it will make his addiction worse!

My 3 year old has discovered my pink DS and loves it (even though it was meant to be hidden from him). I like the idea of delaying these things until they're much older but I don't know how realistic it is. As a child I whiled away long car journeys fighting with my brother and sister in the back. Mum and Dad were probably longing for games consoles and DVDs to be invented. This is a tricky one.
