DH is getting a new PC as he has earned a bonus this year - our current one is prob around 5 years old, to me its fine but to DH its 'a piece of junk'. Anyway its his bonus and although our money is usually joint I've said I really don't mind what he spends it on. Normally I control the purse strings as DH never gets round to things like paying bills.
The 'old' computer is going to be used by the DCs, who are 4 and 3. Obviously with parental controls on it.
I wanted to put it in a communal area of the house, which is a problem because we'd have to somehow lose an armchair from the dining/playroom for it to fit. (The only chair in the house that is actually comfortable for DH's bad back)
There is room for it in the DCs bedroom (they share) - DH thinks this would be ok as we would be supervising their use/time on it and they are too young to really abuse it/put themselves in danger - I am just really uneasy about it though, because I think screens of any sort in childrens bedrooms are a Bad Thing. At some point when they're older they will have a room each and so during the reorganisation we could remove the computer from either room (but to where?!)
We had a big row DH has come round to my way of thinking, reluctantly, I am quite upset about how it has worked out, because its like he thinks I'm stupid for being bothered about the bedroom thing as they are so small. He hasn't actually said it but it feels that way.
Maybe I am just being oversensitive/precious/snobby? What do you think?
