It was not new to me, since my eldest had his psp he was the one play it initially. When my other kid learned how to play it too because her brother thought her to. Then appeared the conflict between them. And we really intend not to buy another one because we refrain from letting them play it during weekdays or schooldays. Because we wanted for them to learn sharing and wait for their turns. And also, we had our 2nd psp stolen so we didnt really thought of buying another one for our other kid.
It just turn out not so good for my eldest because he often use it rather than his sibling. Good thing that they re only two kids at the moment. I cant imagine if there are more kids arguing into one portable games. I might loose my temper with the kids fighting over about it. It just help if i divert my other kid into different stuff to do. Isnt it eldest should be the one to more giving?

I have 3 boys ages 17, 10 and 8. We have a few different video game systems and they are all hooked up to one tv that is in the kids living room. Along with the kids computer. I have a timer. On school days my kids are aloud 1 hour of games or computer and on days when there is no school they are aloud 2 hours. So they determine who goes first and they play their aloud time. If they argue about time or anything pertaining to video games then they are not aloud to play them for a period of time and the more arguing the longer that time is. They are pretty good with the time. My oldest usually just waits and uses his time later in the evening when the younger kids have already used their time. It works pretty well. I am strict on the amount of time that the kids spend because when I only had the one kid he wanted to play games all of the time and this prevented him from going outside and doing other activities. It works for us.
