So she blames a DS on being a shite-arse parent. I'm sorry to swear again, but all I can say is: f*** her. |

Your forgiven, it would be a bad parent to give in so easily, I had to wait until my eight birthday until my parents bought me my first GameBoy regardless of how much I nagged but I'm suprised by the Daily Mail, I thought they'd be more likely to blame it on the immigrants or the Left wing government. |

Rigth, to actually get some activity to this topic, I will start (unless someone else has posted by the time I've finished). This was near, damn painful to read. It's a DS not a "Nintendo"! FFS! She doesn't even know what the hell she bought! She also didn't buy "Brain Trainer". "What is constructive about playing football on a tiny screen, or washing a virtual dog, or watching a hideous pink pony trot around a pink palace decorated with shells?" Well done idiot. Games are supposed to be fun, not education; that's what schools are for. If you don't want them to play that, then don't give them that game. On the other hand: Arguments were caused; yes. There were always going to be caused. It's one, handheld between lots of kids, they aren't going to want to take it in turns. Consoles will always cause problems. My brother always whines when he can be a crappy game. She was fooled into Nintendos happy-fun-education carp. It's a lie. Their games aren't really good for you. Also: Posted Image Spawn of evil, much? |

Those kids do look really evil. XD As Noolsey already said, one console between three or four kids will most likely cause fights. Also though, sort of what Howe said, some children, if raised right and with good parents, wouldn't fight. Sure, it's unlikely that would be the case, but I've seen some kids who haven't fought in a situation similar to that. |

Well me and my younger brother have always been able to share and take it in turns (we do fight occassionally about other stuff) so why it's so hard fr other children I don't know. |

One anything between several siblings of that age is more than likely to cause fights, and it's almost certain to if they have to take turns with it. That's because most people are crazy. :) |

She's no different to most people on the internet. She has an opinion based on issues localised entirely to her, and she's overlooked simple facts. If a child is to want to play a DS for 2 hours a day (she said that's how long they normally play for, and this is assuming it's only once a day which is likely untrue), then lets do the math. 2 hours of DS, times 4 because there are 4 kids. 8 hours. Then there's 6 hours of school (this is a minimum, and is probably more than this). Already, we've clocked 14 hours for each kid to be awake a day if they want their 2 hour fix. Might be me, but I don't know any 5 year olds that are awake 14 hours a day. A simple version of the above is that if there's 1 DS, and 5 kids (Mum included, and she's thick enough) then there won't be enough DS's for 1 each. Also, the mum knows about the boy playing at midnight? Fool, you've made yourself seem like a rubbish parent with that statement alone. EDIT: I'm posting a comment now. I'll link to the pic if nobody else does, if you like. |

Whilst I have no beliefs that the children won't fight, I do think she was being ridiculous. From what I've read, I doubt it would've been a stretch to just, get this, buy two or three or one each. Siblings will argue, it's a fact of life. What it's over makes no difference, because if you remove it they'll blame each other. Or move on to something else. If they don't get on, then some parenting could be to blame. |

I may comment but it seems to me the priority is to send a huge rant of an email to the Daily Mail for being the scum that they are. |

Well, we're different then. I'd much rather just complain so people can read my views. Besides, mine might make a difference, no offense or anything. |

The problem is, the mail has this firewall that means anything not starting with "the article is full of the truth" is blocked. :) They're very, very balanced people on the argument front. |

I didn't bother copying my comment. So you can't see what it would have been. |
