Half term weather

[neurotic kent mum]

It rain and rain and rain. The dc argue over wii game. I remove game. Any suggestions for how to cope with rain!

[Just1-2go]

When I figure it out, which will be after I have removed the Xbox from my arguing DC I will let you know!!

Keep smiling its the only way to stay sane!

Separation works I find! Just done this the squabbling over who was on what level of which game was getting to me! DS2 on game and DS1 just made cake - I will now have to redecorate the kitchen - but it worked for half an hour.

So good to know it not just my dc that argue over levels and how much time each has spent on a game. Removed game, took them to buy sweets, went to library then said no more gadgets till homework finished. This was magic. All disappeared I assume to eat sugar and read. Suspect homework may not yet have happened. But silence is bliss! Until the sugar kicks in.

I was going suggest cooking but you've done that!

Tidying the bedrooms kept mine busy yesterday. They reluctantly did it so it took ages.

Hello Kent.
My son has been tidying his room nearly all week!

Only got the one Ds...........arguments amongst siblings is the one thing I do not have to cope with.

Still having the 'clean bedroom' war tho'

I threaten extra homework/housework if they have nothing better to do than bicker. This makes me the common enemy and they then get on fine and mutter about how awful I am. Works every time and they still haven't worked it out.

LOL abut the tidying room ed's mum.

I do this periodically and they spend the whole day in their rooms reading! Rooms get tidied in the last half hour as I mutter- no electronic equipment which includes tv and ipods until rooms hoovered!

Can't use this today though as had guests earlier in the week so rooms are tidy.
