Apparently you do need people judging you, pal. If you weren't so selfish you'd realize that you don't sell your kids toys to get some for yourself. It doesn't matter that he plays with other things, you're still taking something away from him that he enjoys. You need to grow up and learn to put your kid first.

Mr. 24 and single (according to your profile), get yourself a family first, then I'll take parenting advice from you. My son doesn't want for anything. I bought the Wii for me and he happens to enjoy it. It's not a present to him that I'm taking away.

 

 

First rule of parenting: Always put the kid before yourself.

Second rule: Impregnating some chick does not make you all-knowledgeable about parenting over someone who doesn't have kids, so stop acting like it does.

Also, what HappySquirrel said.

OK pointing out that he shouldn't sell the Wii since others in his household enjoy it is one thing.. but getting in his face about parental skills is something else entirely.  The consideration of his son has been pointed out, persuing the point further is not only presumptuous and rude, but also off-topic.

@dougsdad,

First and foremost don't allow yourself to get sucked into conversations about your personal life if you aren't seeking the opinions of others on the issue.  You have no reason to justify your actions to anyone here, yet you lend them weight when you respond to it rather than ignoring it.  Be smart and don't get involved in conversations you want no part of...unless I'm mistaken in assuming you weren't here to defend your parenting skills, which I doubt highly.

As for the thread itself, what exactly is the point of the thread?  You created it so you must of had some purpose in mind, no?  If it was simply to say "wii sucks and I'm selling mine" then let me know I can just lock the thread now and be done with it. 

However, if you wanted some pros & cons  of selling the Wii and buying the 360 then several folks have provided exactly that and perhaps you should give them the courtesy of a response for investing their time and effort into assisting you rather than giving that courtesy to those who merely wish to criticize your parenting skills. 

Or perhaps you had something else in mind, but if that's the case then please do inform the rest of us precisely what the topic of this discussion is meant to be.  Because frankly we are on page 2 and I'm still not quite sure what you had in mind, which to me means I'll likely be locking it soon unless it quickly takes a turn towards a coherant discussion.
