Duckie is really getting hooked on her DSi. I had to pry her away from it's electronic grips several times yesterday to get her to do anything else. Then, she got up this morning and went right for it. So, husband and I told her there would now be some time limits: one hour on each non-school day and a half hour on school days. She's very unhappy and even tried to give an ultimatum: one hour each day or nothing.
She asked (angrily) what she should do with all this extra time: homework, chores, crafts, reading, play outside, spend time with her family. "But I don't want to spend time with my family!"
She's already calmed down (taking it like a easy child, in my opinion) but I thought it was funny enough to share. Also, I wanted to know how much electronics time other parents allow their kids. I'd like to be on the low side since she has activities and a fairly busy social life.
