Just want to get your opinion... ^_^
even if you can afford it would you give ur child expensive cellphones, ipods, etc?
why or why not? what are your reasons for giving that in the first place?
what are your thoughts on this?
when is the right age to start giving ur children expensive gadgets like that?
we may put an exception to PSP's...
basta cellphone na expensive, expensive music players like ipod touch, etc.

is it logical for you to give your kids, let say below 15 or 16 an expensive gadget?

it will be best for the betterment of your children to teach them the value of money, especially during these hard times. at least they will have an idea that they cannot just get the things that they want, because in real life you need to toil/earn for the things you want.

i think ok ra man na ang celestial telescope for xmas k she can learn something from it. Originally Posted by dexterdal

i have an 8 year old daughter. she has a cellphone and an ipod. but the cellphone she has is not that expensive. colored and polyphonic ok naman na cguro for a child like her. her ipod is also an ipod shuffle, not that expensive for an ipod. sobra naman cguro you buy a child her age or younger an iphone and then for her music player an itouch.
as for psp's ok lang man as long as the child knows the right time to play with it and the right time to study.

i like the way you are teaching your daughter to value the things she is gonna get by having her save up for something she wants. Originally Posted by anm

i grew up having the things i want anytime expensive gifts for christmas and birthdays. then notice nako nag salig nalng ko ni mama and papa for everything until i was in my early 20's. when they taught me a lesson by not buying me what i wanted, that's when i learned to value the things i got. and learned to work for it

well, that's true as well. only thing is, what if ang parent is not around, like abroad.. i think it would be futile to set rules when you're not around to implement it, mejo lisod jud sya bro. Originally Posted by anm
