LOL at all the "kids under 7 shouldn't play video games or have a handheld" or whatnot. I suspect you wee folk don't have children. I dunno, so apologies if I'm wrong. Thanks for the parenting tips though. I'll consider them.
OK, I've considered them. I reject them.
Super LOL at the "lazy parenting" comment. If you only knew how "lazy" I am, or my wife is, or all of my peers, you'd instantly take that one back. If anything, the group of parents I know are guilty of over-parenting sometimes. And ALL of the kids in my circle have DS's and home systems. They've had them for years. They had Gameboys before the DS's. Age ranges of the kids are, now, between 6 and 13. Maybe y'all should stick to what you know, eh?
