4wildberrys Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I say KEEP IT :D You won it, your son does not need it. I won an Ipad 2 last year and kept it and I LOVE it!!! I never knew how convenient and useful a tablet was until I got this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 SO........ are you keeping it? You should definitely keep it. If your ds didn't already have an iPad, I might make a different suggestion, but in this case, keep it and enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks to all the advice here, I am .........keeping it! I still feel a smallish twang of guilt, but I think that's just the mommy part, it will always be there...you know, like when you buy yourself a shirt at a great sale, and don't get anyone else in the house anything.......but since he does have a iPad 2, and it's perfectly wonderful already.....I am going to keep the new one! Someone made a good point that hit home, that we don't want our children to always be wanting "the next best thing" when what they have is perfectly great. And though DS13 isn't like that at all, I don't want to "create" that for him either. Happy now too that I can rejoice in my winnings! Plus I know it will really be a shared family iPad, unlike DS13's, which we don't require him to share that with his brothers, cuz it is his and they are too young to be trusted. I listed out my reasons with DH and of course he's fine with it (though I could have listed out my reasons for the other side, and he would have been fine with that too...sometimes too laid-back!). I can't wait to get some educational Apps, I think it's going to be a great tool to keep one DS busy, while I do one-on-one with another DS this coming school year. Thanks again for all the advice! Always appreciate the Hive minds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
