My two kids were fighting over a single math app, so I had to pick between buying a second subscription or finding a free alternative.

I went ahead and bought the second subscription for $12 a month because the free options I found were clunky and full of ads. After 3 weeks, my youngest still prefers the paper worksheets I print out from a different site. Anyone else deal with siblings fighting over the same digital resource?

What if the kids weren't really fighting over the math app but just wanted your attention at the same time? My nephew does the same thing with his tablet - soon as someone buys a second one, they both just want the original again.

Did you ever catch them actually fighting, or was it more of a whining competition at your feet? I tried that whole sharing-a-single-tablet route once with my niece and nephew, and they ended up trading it back and forth every five minutes like it was a hot potato. Now they just yell at me from across the room while I'm trying to cook dinner, so I'm starting to think it's more about the noise than the math.
