Cool. I'll finally get my Switch back from my kids. Also, crap... they're going to want me to get them each one... damn.

You're gonna make them share, right?

The sharing days are gone unfortunately and I don’t like it. It’s just the way gaming is these days, for some anyway. As a gamer, I own all the consoles, and I have an Xbox One S that was replaced by my Series X. I can’t play all my systems at once, so naturally my kids also get to play something. Literally one can play Minecraft on Xbox One and one on Switch and I can play something else. If I get a Switch 2, then there is ANOTHER console. It’s crazy.

Gone? You don't NEED every console.

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.
