I figured this was going to happen eventually, but age four, DS is already starting to ask for more expensive toys because his four year old friends have them.
We have one of his friends over at our place today, he hadn't been here before. One of the first things he did was inform us of all the things he had. "I have a DS, I have a big yard to play in, I have lots of DVDs," etc.
Not asking for advice, just venting a bit. I have no intention of buying my four year old a $150 Nintendo DS, but I guess this is just the start of kids whose parents DO buy these types of things, trying to make other kids feel bad that they don't have them.
