Kids and the dam DS what to do?

Question

ok i have three daughters.

For their birthdays they each got a present.

10 Year Oct wanted a Digital camera.

8 Year Jan wanted a Nintendo DS.

11 Year June wanted a Nintendo DS as well

if it far that there father thinks that the two that got the DS should not get to use it cause one of them does not have a DS. yet she was the first one to get a camera, witch no one else can use, and sharing is not good enough!!!! And one with the birthday in June had to wait with nothing for almost 6 months! But had no problem cause she new they each got them for their birthdays.

Answer 1

that is silly the10 year old didnot won a ds  so tuff

Answer 2

It is fair for them to be able to play with their DS' because the 10 year old had the chance to choose one, but didn't. When her next birthday comes around, she can ask for a DS, but until then she'll have to be okay with borrowing one of her sister's.

Also, if it bothers her that much point out that she is the only one with a digital camera. Make her feel special for having one, ask to borrow it, make nice comments about her pictures- then maybe she won't mind not having a DS so much.

If all else fails, tell your husband if he wants things to be fair- buy the 10 year old a DS himself! :) It can be a reward for good grades or completing chores around the house.

Answer 3

No that is not fair. they got them as a gift, and each kid got what they wnated. It wouldn't be fair unless he took the camera too. If she wanted a DS she should have asked for one. Maybe you can come up with a plan to where they can switch them off and share that way no kid is left with nothing.

Answer 4

What is wrong with sharing? I would think that in time they will all want something that each other have got and will learn to share with the understanding that this is only a temporary loan.

Wait till they are fighting over boys, then you can start worrying! lol this will all seem silly to your husband then and then he will have something to worry about.

Answer 5

I think your daughters should get to use their presents as they see fit. If they have no problems with sharing then let them share it. I would have only bought one for my kids and let them share the darn thing instead of spending money on two. Tell your husband to relax and let them all play with the two you have. At any given time one can read a book the other two can play the game.
