The other day I was going back and forth between rooms cleaning and doing laundry. Really! I was! I noticed Emma had been watching TV for awhile (hence the cleaning and laundry) so I said, “Emma, you need to turn the TV off.”
I finished at the washer and came back through. She was on my computer at my desk.
“Off my computer.” I said and kept on going back to the bedroom.
When I came back through she was sitting on the couch playing a game on her DS. I said, “Emma! Get off your DS and go play.”
She came over to sit with me where I had stopped to check my phone and said, “Can I play on your phone?”
After I affirmed she couldn’t she said, “Can I play the Wii then?”
”For goodness sakes, no!”
at this point did you declare “I have failed as a mother!!!” lol
No I was trying to keep myself from being too proud of her lol
oh boy I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything, that made me laugh 😀
When my kids get to the point when all they want is computer/video/tv, I usually take them to the pool for a couple hours, or to Carowinds, or find SOME sort of family activity (card games, board games, etc.). This way I feel less guilty about turning them into multimedia morons. *lol*
