[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, she always asks for suggestions but does not limit herself to those. 
I don't mind a little robot with a battery or something--she has gotten stuff like that.
But she believes in educational software and such. I have nieces and nephews who have their own iPads and are allowed unlimited usage. She thinks this is wonderful and that I am some kind of Luddite. 
I just feel like I spend 8 hours a day looking at screens and really don't feel this is an experience my kids need to have at this point in their lives.
I think I am just going to remind her even if it seems rude. Maybe I can think of some jokey or self-deprecating way to do it.[/quote]
Are you saying that you think that having an IPAD translates into automatically having unlimited usage of it? Seriously?
My inlaws gave DC an IPAD -- daddy and I control the usage. Very little to none during the week -- limited during the weekends. Are your kids school age -- do you let them do work on the computer? My kids have chromebooks at school and do school projects on the computer, print out the final product and turn it in at school.
As parents, we fall into the 'in moderation' camp. [/quote]
