i would like to agree with not having one in the beginning and certainly not having one in your bedroom. if you feel you want one somewhere down the line keep it in the den.
for the record, the same can go with the smart phones and laptops. i have visited homes where almost every family member is playing a handheld game of somesort or listening to music.
whatever happened to board games and talking to each other?
how about a deck of cards? playing jacks? dominoes?
ok, i am giving away my age group. 🙂
