how long do you keep a tama?

[Lucario1829]

do you prefer to keep your tamas for a longer time, like a month plus, or only keep them for about a week like many of the devices seem to encourage? i started with the gen 1, so i was surprised when i found out the life cycle has been kinda shortened for other devices. ive had my kikitchi on my uni for two weeks now, and dont really plan on getting rid of him unless i know someone irl who wants to marry ours, since that would be fun . i want to know others opinions!
