I have 3 kids and it seems like I am constantly struggling with them about the "but mom..." argument. When they ask why I always tell them because I said so; that just doesn't seem to work. I'm sure you've had other issues besides the Nintendo that your kids have pulled on you and I give you credit for saying that even though other people allow it for their kids that type of technology just isn't what you want to give to your kids. Like you said in your post -- just because other parents give something to their kids it doesn't mean you have to give it to your kids even though they think it's okay. Thanks for the great tips!
