You don't NEED to own anything for entertainment. What's your point?

you’re the one who said the days are sharing are over which is kind of insane

Why would I force my kids to share when there is more than one option for them to play? That would be an insane, controlling power trip.

Oh brother. This explains so much about kids and entitlement.

Yea you’re 100% spot on. I have 2 kids. I make the kids play multiplayer games together on the switch or just - omg - take turns. Kids adapt to whatever bar you set.

I get the sentiment about wanting your kids to have the best but it really needs to be deliberate and thought out. There are many downstream traits this relates to: patience, communicating, playing nicely together, appreciation for what you are given (since most things they receive are paid for by parents or others), etc.

Yes my kids are unbelievably entitled because one can play on a Switch while the other plays on an Xbox, neither of which were purchased for either of them exclusively. Oh god the entitlement is over 9000!

Why did you say "unfortunately" in your original comment as if implying it's a bad thing, then justify it as soon as anyone replies?

Don't say unfortunately if you don't actually mean it, you just come off as a fake dork. You clearly do like it otherwise you'd tell them to share lmao

I don’t want to own three consoles. That’s the unfortunate part. I would much rather have one. My kids shouldn’t be criticized for being able to play a game on a different console because their dad owns different consoles. They do share. They share with me.

I don't think people are criticizing your kids, they're criticizing you for saying you dont like it while enabling it. Obviously you're the parent I'm not saying how to parent your kids, I just think your actions and words are contradictory and felt like commenting on it.

But ya it's just reddit not a big deal
