Is 5 too young for a Nintendo switch

My husband and I can't agree its the only thing our almost 5 year old wants for his birthday in 3 weeks I'm not sure about it but he thinks its fine. We've told our son if we do get it he won't get anything else because it's expensive but I'm not sure I feel like 5 is very young for it and his brother did want one for christmas but we said it was too expensive then but of course we had the 2 of them to buy for and gifts from Santa any thoughts?

I understand why 5 might be to young because they are expensive but my son has one he is now 6 but he had one from about 5 and just plays Mario games, and Mario kart etc, and absolutely loves it.

5 is too young

I think it’s fine in moderation, if anything I think it’s much better than an iPad/tablet as they can only play the games they have on the switch. It’s controlled.

Plus u can link it to the TV, play games as a family 😊

Personally I think 5 years old is too young to get into gaming or have a tablet.

You could use it as a family. It would be great exercise and fun. As you can do 'Just Dance' and they do a sports one for bowling, football etc.
I just seen they do a Nickjr Party Adventure that looks fun.

Thanks all I appreciate this ill definitely have a good think about it

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Vitamins?

Does anyone do vitamins for their one year old?
