Parenting decisions

I have always hated kids watching DVDs in the car just to go to the shops. Now I am a parent I understand the value of peace and the price you are sometimes willing to pay for it. We do long car trips, we are travelers and we love it. G's tolerance for driving is 3 hours before all the tricks don't work anymore and she starts getting really irritated. So I we already had a DVD player for the car given to us, I went to the ABC shop and got two Playschool DVDs and an Elmo one. All on sale for $10 each. Definitely helps for those super long trips! I won't be using it for small trips to the shops.......yet!
