A friend of mine is a single parent to a boy of 4. She has recently got a full-time job.
Went to hers for a coffee and I was asking her about her new job and she was saying how happy she is because now her DS is getting older he is getting much more aware of presents etc (compared to say a 3 year who wouldn't notice what the heck you bought them for their Birthday/Christmas) - and wants a PlayStation for his 5th birthday.
I was just a little bit like ... "oh, yeah I see what you mean". I have a DD who is only 18mo so unsure of what it is like to have older children, but is it normal to buy a child that young a PlayStation?
Maybe a Wii as it is more family friendly and has children's games. Perhaps the PlayStation does too, but I have no idea.
I'm not judging her, I'm genuinely interested in whether people do or would buy a PlayStation for a child that young? As I am clueless.
