@risien maybe *you* are...

 

[risien]

@johnredeemed103 excuse you

 

[johnredeemed103]

@risien I said what I said

 

[johnredeemed103]

@risien although I had a nap after taking my son to school today so I might be showing my age just a bit

 

[johnredeemed103]

@risien I plan naps into my regular life. Maybe at your age you need two naps...?

 

[rameshpothala]

@risien yes that old my oh might be getting me a neon orange N64 for my bday. Will be sorted if internet ever goes

 

[cbussey123]

@risien becca no , we are so old that I can remember loading up a game and waiting hours before we could actually play the bloody thing cause it took that long to actually bloody load !!!

Delayed gratification is such an underrated discipline.
But sod it, they can learn like the rest of us had to, builds patience and character

I’ve bought my Dad some tech. I’m getting my other half to sort it before we wrap it or all I’ll hear is “Sarah, can you do X,Y,Z please…..” all day

 

[wmgoethe]

Yeah, no I’m not doing that. It’s half the fun for them . My son loves doing it any way. But he won’t be able to set up his ps5 for a couple days after xmas as I’m taking him shopping for the accessories he wants to go with it.

Fuck that mine can sort their own ipads out i dont have time for that sort of faffing on

 

[orientalorthodox]

Yes!! And for little kids, unbox the toys, put batteries in (while you know where the teeny tiny screwdriver is!) and then wrap them!

 

[pastorjeremylove]

@orientalorthodox but they will never fit back in the box

 

[orientalorthodox]

@pastorjeremylove they don’t go back in the box! Just wrapped up without it

 

[hunter16rolltide]

@orientalorthodox I just did this with my daughters mini Dyson vac, had to cram the damn thing back into the box though and the box is no longer a perfect rectangle

 

[orientalorthodox]

@hunter16rolltide it definitely makes for some interestingly shaped presents

 

[alexanderdolly]

That’s all part and parcel of the stress on Christmas Day!!!

 

[qianer]

I like mine to undo sealed boxes

 

[dealcar15]
