Kids and Video Games

So I’m slightly miffed about something. I’ve been reading a lot of things recently that seems to state that some parents today are giving their children who are as young as three VIDEO GAMES. I don’t mean the lame-o V-Smile systems or Leapfrog. Heck, Abby has a Leapfrog Leap Pad and she loves that thing- best $40 ever spent on her, it’s taught her a lot when it comes to colours and stuff. 

I mean Nintendo DS systems. You know, that one that I got for my 26th birthday last year so grudgingly (Nick still likes to bring it up in arguments from time to time). I’ve been playing Nintendo since I was about 8…and Abby loves to watch me play, but there is NO WAY that I am letting her touch them until at least her 7th birthday. Until then, she can have a Leapster L-Max and it will be at least teaching her stuff instead of frying her young brain. I honestly cannot get my head around it, why on earth are parents giving their young ones video games to play on? I DON’T CARE if they have games like Dora the Explorer or Care Bears. It’s just wrong, did your parents not teach you the difference between right and wrong? Do you have that little amount of patience that you cannot tolerate your kids being bored, so you just shove a video game system in their hands and tell the to shut the fuck up? 

YOU NEED YOUR HEADS LOOKING AT. HOW ABOUT SEEING A SHRINK, YOU DUMBASSES?!
