Arugh. Just...Arugh

So for whatever reason Charlie was really fighting against doing his homework, and I had to take his Gamecube away because he was totally freaking out - its a long story. Anyway, He grabs his gameboy, and I was kind of in the middle of something, and wasn't really pushing it, and my husband grabbed the gameboy out of Charlie's very resisting hand and he broke the gameboy. So now of course Charlie is completely freaked out, I yell at husband because basically the reason the thing broke is because he, husband, lost his temper, and now I'm totally annoyed. Charlie said he wants a different daddy. He also said Daddy had to go to jail, which made me giggle.

Anyway, I think he's forgiving his daddy now, but I'm totally annoyed and trying not to start an argument with husband, so I just thought I'd vent here. Done now.

ARGH, a broken gameboy - my worst fear. My girls love those damn things, would much rather play them than the Gamecube. I had thought it would be the other way around. My one best threat to get them to do things is that I will take away the Gameboys. Did you get an extended service agreement when you bought it? If you did, it might cover the damage. The girl at Toys R Us said when I bought ours that they cover alot of stuff & don't even bother to repair the Gameboy, they just send you a new one.

Well, getting it fixed is no longer an option because husband threw it into the street. Don't ask me why. He is a big dork sometimes. We did have a warrenty, but I have no idea if it is still valid. Charlie got it for Christmas in 2002.

Sigh.

Fortunately they are down a bit in price, so hopefully I can get a new one that won't set me back too much. Meanwhile, his gamecube does have the attachment so he can play his gameboy games on it.

I like it because it keeps him occupied in the car, or if we have to go to a doctor's appointment or something.

because husband threw it into the street

Sounds like something my husband would do. Makes me want to scream when he does stuff like that. Once, he was out in the garage having a fit about something, and after kicking the door repeatedly, he threw a brick across the garage and put a hole in the wall. So mature.

Prices have gone down a bit since the newest model came out. I've seen them as low as $75. We let the girls take them when we're in the car, too - also if we're going to a restaurant that doesn't have a fun kiddie menu to keep them occupied.
