The advantage to cheap things in our family is that when the kids get into something they aren't supposed to and it breaks we don't have to worry about the cost of replacing it.

I am all for quality and American made, but having four active boys there aren't many things that can take their aggression. Whenever someone says, "They can't possibly break that" we know not to say never.

Threaten to trade them in for cheap Chinese kids that know how to fix things instead of breaking them.

Hell, cheap Chinese kids probably are cheaper to feed, at least in the local Chinese food place. LOL
