Didn't you read the article?  They weren't playing Brain Training, they were playing Brain Trainer. 

I think the key phrase here is, "we had only one of these infernal devices."

If you want to play together, don't use a handheld! Buy a console, ie. the Wii! If you must use a DS, learn to take your turns. Simple. And well, video games are more likely to be addictive to extremely young kids. And being a handheld just increases the chances that you can't stop play it.

You've obviously never dealt with young children before...

 lol.  That was the first thing that caught my eye.  She imported a ds and 20 games from Hong Kong.  Nice way to teach values to your children.

She made her daughter cut her hair very short and she seems proud of it, strange. She is teaching her kids how to be super cheap.

My parents gave all 3 of us (2 brothers plus me) a Gameboy at the same time. They bought us 1 game each and we shared games. It makes so much sense.

I gave my four kids one ice cream cone to share, and they fought over it. Must be the fault of the ice cream, not my parenting skills.

"reading, playing the violin, walking the dog, occasionally fighting, cooking and making things. "

OMG what a terrible childhood they have .. poor kids . And only one DS ... what a cheap mother she is :?

"Our Nintendo had taken the guise of a small but toxic drug which, little by little, was poisoning my children."
QFT
Nintendo is like heroin, you play it you can´t leave it.

My favorite part was how her children took the DS off her desk and later removed it from her bag and hid it from her.

Nice way to teach your children respect for their parents. Stop blaming a small blue bit of plastic for your inadequacies as a mother, lady.

Introducing children to games will definitely be a shock if all they're used to is a masochistic military lifestyle as the article implies. It could well be the first case of them genuinely enjoying something rather than being forced to play the violin or whatever else.
