A few of the most coveted pieces of things in homes with children (or sometimes even those without) would be the available empty space in front of a laptop, the couch for catching a few winks, game controls and Bell Télé TV remote. I am sure there are a lot of things that people living under one roof want to hold on to first but these are just a few of those basic things.
And let me tell you that during summer breaks like what we are having, the more that “competition” is stiffer, lol. One can’t have too many of these things, even if the household can afford.
Sharing, scheduling and turn-taking are just two ways that these can be used by everyone who wants to use them. For example, with the use of only one available laptop, priority is given of course to the person who needs to finish homework than the one who just wants to watch music videos.
So, which is “it” that you like to first hold on to before anyone else gets it?
