SS13 "needs" a ps3 Now - bahahahaha
This kid is frickin amazing with his needs and wants and his "subtle" way of letting us know.
I pick him up from school the other day and hang out a bit in the parking lot, making sure sm is coming to get bios. (I offer to get them in this particular day, but exh and sm handle this day but exh often gets mixed up so if she's not there, I just stuck around for a bit and will often call her or exH. To be clear, it's usually a good thing that I stick around 
Anyway, after a while, I'm left alone with SS13 and he gets in the car and says "johnny keeps saying I need to get a ps3 so I can play (whatever tht new game is) with him online. He keeps saying it over and over again and is making me feel bad. They only cost $350"
I just respond with questions about his Xbox (which is only connected to the interment at his moms house (I won that one - see previous blogs).
The kid is hilarious thinking we are just going to go buy him a new $350 game system.

Oh sounds like my SD. Every
Oh sounds like my SD. Every other week she comes back with a list of things she "needs" drives me freaking bonkers. You would think she would get a clue by now. Because we don't buy anything extra she gets school supplies, school clothes, shoes, etc. Other than that it is Bday or Christmas. If she wasn't such a brat she might get more.

PS3s will be a dime a dozen when the PS4 comes out. Craigslist will have a bunch of used ones for sale. Tell him "maybe for xmas" lol

Hmmmm, maybe kid will get lucky and Johnny will run out and get kid one since Johnny wants kid to have one so badly.
My GS11 (daughter's son) lost his the weekend his father was home from training. GS couldn't get off it long enough to acknowledge his father was home for first time in 3wks so Dad unplugged it all and locked it up. Kiddo lost it until his father is home again. Poor little guy (rolls eyes), he's in total withdraws. His father had a two month training class a couple states away and GS couldn't bring himself to come to the table and eat dinner with his father SIL's first night home on midway break. I get lots of 'poor me' every time GS calls. I'm currently Awful Gma because I sided with GS's father.
If your SS gets one, be sure DH puts limits on it. Kids get so wrapped up into the game and who they are playing that time slips away and it takes over any everything.
Ya. I'm so over electronics
Ya. I'm so over electronics in my house. I refuse to spend any more money on them as gifts for the kids. They can save up for them if they want them and then MAYBE I will help them set them up.
With three bios and one SS and ALL of their electronics needs, desires, repairs, questions - I'm going crazy. I don't have time to stay on top of my own technology and surely don't have time to monitor 4 different gaming systems.
Sheesh!
Oh, and as an aside - he mentioned that he found some game creator on Xbox Live when he was at his mom's house and he sent a friend request to him. I reminded him that it wasn't safe to be friending people on line that he didn't personally know. He mumbled some excuse, but... not my kid, not my house, not my problem. -- though I'm not sure I believe that 100% in this regard.
These kids now days are
These kids now days are addicted to computer games.
My Stepshit16 is totally addicted and spends every single moment he can on there. In the summer he stays up allllll night playing and eating. Then he sleeps all day, only waking up at 5:30 pm when he hears his dad getting home from work.
He is lazy, entitled and morbidly obese because of those video games. He is at least 100 lbs over weight and rarely bathes.
He just got in his 2nd wreck in 4 months. So far he has caused damage to 6 cars in 4 months. In this last wreck HE CAUSED (well he caused both accidents he was in) there were 4 cars involved and 2 have to be totaled, including his. Why do I bring this up? Because if you don't take the computer from him at bedtime on school nights he will stay up alllll night long playing. Then he is too tired for school and too tired to drive. His fat ass fell asleep at the wheel and rammed into 4 cars. Thankfully no one was hurt. But our insurance will SKY ROCKET.
Why don't I do something? He is not my effing kid. He never listens to me and I'm not really allowed to discipline him, so I no longer give a shit about him. My DH and his horseface BM never, ever punish the kids.... and I mean EVER.
Why do I bring it up? Because if these toys aren't used responsibly they literally ruin young lives. My SS has made terrible decisions and his health suffers because he is so fing fat and the only exercise he gets is walking to the kitchen to stuff his face or steal a party size bag of chips to take to his room and walking to the bathroom to take a shit. He will be a diabetic soon because he sneaks in the kitchen in the middle of the night and stuffs his fat face with every sweet thing he can find.
I'm sick of fighting with my DH over it, so I don't care anymore. My DH picks fights with me over it! I was trying to make that kid healthier. SS also has 0 friends - not one - because those games keep them from developing social skills. They are particularly addicting to young boys. It has something to do with the frontal lobe.
Our kids don't even get TV on
Our kids don't even get TV on weeknights when they are with us - we got sick of the whole "just a minute", "the program hasn't finished", "I'm watching X" arguments when they were told to switch it off and do homework/come to the dinner table etc.
So it now remains off from Sunday night to Friday afternoon. Best thing we ever did. They complained for a bit and then forgot about it, they don't evene ask to watch TV on a schoolnight anymore because they know the answer will be "no".
PlayStations, Xbox etc? Not likely in this house...
