Henry Blodget: My Kids Are Addicted To My iPad

http://www.businessinsider.com/my-ki...my-ipad-2010-7

Quote:
And it's not only the kids: My wife and my daughter now fight over over who gets to go to bed "reading a book" on the iPad (until we leave the room) and who gets shafted with the old-fashioned paper-based crap. (So let's go ahead a debit my account for a THIRD iPad.)

Are you hearing me, people? A month after we bought it, the iPad has become so central to our household that we have to hide it. And in relatively short order, to preserve my family harmony, I'm going to have to buy two more of the damn things.
"old-fashioned paper-based crap"

Glad I'm not the only father with this problem

Lol. There's no way I'd share mine. My husband would have to get his own. I already use mine constantly and want another so I can switch 'em while charging. I just can't justify buying two of a first-generation device. My husband was just saying yesterday that iPad seems like the best electronics purchase I've made, judging by how much I enjoy it.

Last night my husband borrowed mine for 5 minutes and finally after two hours I pried it from his hands.

Not if I can help it. Who wants to sleep when you have an iPad? Lol.

My wife "allowed" me to get an ipad allthough (I have to admit) it was unnecessary to get one (I mean I have a laptop, dedicated e-readers....). So she was not really sold on the ipad. It was more like "let the man have his toys"

After she found out that I installed solitaire, she asked (the first time) if she could give it a try.
Since then, she's just taking it (if I'm not at home) or she's requesting to get it (if I'm at home).
Only drawback for me is that the battery is mostly down to about 20-30% once she used it.

Otherwise I'm really glad she (and my daughter, too) likes my new toy. This gives me some more backup for having bought the ipad.
