I reckon if I post something in the debt or loan forum and ask for advice, at least one person will have a dig for getting in debt in the first place !!!![/QUOTE]
Maybe we shouldnt waste peoples time when the majority of posters are actually trying to help?

Personally I think your just bored and this is your way of passing the time

1) I find the idea of a four year old kid playing with a PSP pretty sickening - and I'm a gamer. Know you didn't ask for my opinion, but heyho...the joys of a public forum...

2) Kids at my school fought about Pogs. So they banned them. Then they fought about Magic cards. So they banned them. Then they fought about football stickers. So they banned them. I took my voice box in once. It caused fights. They banned it. Schools/clubs etc ban stuff that causes friction. That's life.

I honestly think you're clutching at straws now. I think you should desist from posting or it might cause tears just like it did your son when things didn't go his way either.

OP I really would advise you to get your DS to leave his PSP at home. I don't know if you have older children, but as a parent with older children believe me there will be plenty of times when it is important to argue with school and after school club for the benefit of your child - IMO this isn't one of those times.

Get him to leave the PSP at home you infer he isn't at after school club for long, so it won't cause him any great hardship. You don't want teh after school club to make a rule about electronic games do you? Or alternatively they could ask your DS to leave .

If school doesn't allow them, that usually includes bringing them and not using them. It could easily get stolen. What would you do in that situation?

In answer to your OP, I would accept the after school club's sensible policy and encourage my son to do other things instead. He can still be solitary without his electronic game if that's what he wants. He can draw or read for example. Whatever works for him. He doesnt' have to be sociable if he doesn't want to be but he does have to follow their rules, whether they're new or not.

But this ISN'T the Debt forum so why tar all boards with the same brush? DT can be one of the most vile and vindictive boards on MSE but that doesn't mean ALL the boards are the same.

Your posting style does come across rather patronising and being a bit of a wind up merchant. So you're either narked because you've not had floods of responses agreeing with you or you are deliberately posting in an inflammatory way. Either way it's not showing you in the best light.

Were they all banned at after school clubs as well?
I only ask cause somethings that were banned at DS school were allowed in after school club - weird but there you go

If it's tasteless then why tell people this is what they are?
Seems to me your the one looking for an argument. Pretty much every person has agreed with each other and your the one having a paddy because you can only see your view of it. Im not even sure why you bothered asking for advice if your not prepared to listen.

I find it sad when thread starters post requesting peoples opinions then start name calling just because people arent saying what they want to hear.

Yes, but I didnt ask for opinions about the rights and wrongs of letting a 6 yr old play on a PSP but some people seem to think its their right to to give them.
