Quote From: manofgoodsDo you know that the Wii system is really $250 (unless you're talking with games, that comes to around $400 on what you just said)? And that the DS lite is $130? Playstation 3, however, stands at $500 for the core, & $600 for the premium. If you would've gotten a Premium PS3, plus a DS lite, & a Wii, it would all come up to $980. With tax, you would be paying a little over $1,000. And that's without games, & such, just for those two home console systems, & a handheld alone. Now, that's kind of ridiculous! People are going to just have to put your foot down like you just did, & tell them, "NO!". How are kids going to function out in the real world if they don't learn how to do things for themselves, & pay everything for themselves? If they don't like what you hear, tough. They just have to get used to it. I'm very ashamed at parents who spoil their children. As long as the spoiling continues, these children will never learn anything in life.
Yes, I do know that. But the system isnt very good without games. Also the extra controller (I think it was?) and God knows what else. They had the DSlites on special during after Thansgiving sales for the $130 but they are back at $180 (least in my area) now. Course, im sure there will be another sale! LOL
It is kinda ridiculous. More then kinda! So here is MY question... Why is there STILL a part of me that feels guilty about not giving them what they want? Is this simply mom guilt? Do dads feel this way too? I have never noticed my husband troubled over things like this.
I have a hard time believing im the only one who KNOWS what they are doing is right, but still feels frickin guilty about it.
Show of hands, anyone?
C'mon! Fess up! LOL
