[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 10 year old doesn’t need a tablet. Big mistake [/quote]

What? My kid does so much homework on tablets. Next year she will be iMessaging friends about homework and team events.

If anything a 10 year old may need a computer by middle school.

An iPad is $300. There is no monthly expense; a nice dinner out with a sitter probably costs more.

That said, DD needs to know you control the tablet, but it’s clear boyfriend knows he has to win both you over.

When you said tablet I thought he was slipping there benederyl or something to go to bed earlier. [/quote]

Oh that’s just marvelous. And 6 months after that you’ll be dealing with video game addiction and all kinds of other problems you haven’t even thought of yet[/quote]

I guess my 7 year old is lost. He got an iPad, worse yet it replaced a Kindle Fire, for his birthday this year. Never mind that it is set so it can only be used for an hour and it requires my thumbprint and an authorization code from my phone to buy anything.

OP, you know how serious your relationship is and if you are comfortable with it. I suspect you are not because you are asking about it. But there are models that sell for $300 or so. it does not have to be a highly expensive gift but i would still consider the $300 level expensive.   [/quote]

They don't want to parent.  Its fine for kids to have them as long as parents monitor and limit. [/quote]
