in Chit-Chat
I was thinking today about things we do with/for our children today that we never had when WE were kids...and yet we survived. Things like carseats, cleaning and killing germs with Clorox wipes, etc. So, I was wondering...what are some things we never had as kids, but our kids can't seem to live without (either legally or comfort-wise)??

I'll start:

Car Seats (legally)
Road Trips without DVD Players or hand held games (comfort-wise)

    I never had any sort of video gaming system in my home except for the original version of pong! My Son will inherit all my soccer balls though...and I will make sure he learns how to have fun with stuff like sticks and rocks.

    A plug for the cell phones in every vehicle because they are on them so much the batteries are always low.

    Video games (many) while sitting at home all cozy.


    I remember the walk to the nearest pizza shop that had the huge video game machines (donkey kong ONLY). Line up the quarters to claim your spot. wait until your turn and hope you put enough quarters up there if you got so far and wanted to go on. if not, put your quarters up again and jump back in line!
