dvd

violeta by violeta Talking Back(November 2006) (rank 71st)
My friends have children that are all born within 6 months after my son. All of them love dvd's (cartoons and movies) we all buy them but often used so swap them so children can watch them. we realised that there were some cartoons that we would buy and kids dont
like to watch them (scary or whatever) we also realised that some we are had them and others no one did. so what we did and it was a great idea for us (as there are 7 of us) we would each hunt for dvd on special and one will buy it and than we all take a turn to watch it (as we all have big collections of dvd child does not miss it). if child wants to see it again we just get it again. sometimes I will see a dvd and say or I must get that one for him and than I get it only to see that he does not like it. In that case we do a permanent swap if some of the friends have a dvd that there children dont like we swap. I love this as it saves me money, son has a new dvd to watch all the time.

dvd's
if you want to get your kids to watch dvd's find out their favourite charcters and buy them that.

Sharing the cost
It's so funny because kids can watch the same DVD for several days and then lose interest.  By sharing the cost, you are getting the most for your money and getting all the benefits of others investments as well.  I have shared DVD's with friends but have never thought about doing it formally.  Great tip.
