    What's your opinion on small children having expensive electronics?

    Recently I took my daughters to a friend's daughter's 4th birthday party. My daughters are 6 years old and 4.5 months old. Well, this little girl got a Nintendo DS for her birthday. Ever since then my six year old has been asking when she'll get a Nintendo DS. A little boy that rides the bus...
