Sorry
John , you have got my goat here a little .
"Eric, other kids actually can learn of the country they are visiting"
Did you actually read my reply ?
I only alow them to use them on long travel and when we are on the black stuff.
"Mate do you think yours do?"
Mater of fact I think they do
John . I find it not a issue that on a 2 day trip somewere , that the kids can watch a movie to pass some of th etime in the car. I guess if it was you . You would spend the entire trip educating your kids.
On my recent trip to the simpson with Dean , I alowed him to watch the odd movie when on the black top and we still had countless conversations about were we were and why we were there .
"you just took the easy option to give them American culture."
Whats the American culture ? Taking kids into the outback but allowing them to watch the odd movie on a long drive on the bitcumen?
Do you play CD's when you drive ?
if the answer is yes , I will be very disupointed, you should be educating yourself and conversing with your wife .
If you catch a plain do you watch the inhouse movies or do you frown and say how Americanised ?
I Take my kids away as often as possible and make it as entertaning as possible to do so , They get to see more of Australia than most of there friends at school , so i guess that they learnt plenty.
Yes as we go , technology expands
