I'm going to let them watch tv

[Cadam]

I am so very tired of the bickering and nagging while I am trying to make dinner every night! I am starting to think they do it just to drive me nuts. :eek:

Yesterday I streamed a history thing from Netflix. They watched, they were quiet and I got to make dinner and even organize a bookshelf in peace. That hour before dinner is always tough and I think this is a good solution. It's not going to kill them to watch an hour of tv a day, especially if it is educational. It is defiantly better for my mental health! :D

I don't know why it took me so long to figure this out.

Dd wants me to use these :eek: :p

Sounds like you've got everying worked out. :)

Also, I bet the kids will enjoy it too!

Gotta love the smileys!

My kids TV time has always been the time right before dinner. It is absolutely worth the screen time to have the peace! :)

I do the same - only at breakfast time (and my a.m. shower)! It really does have a place in our house.
