5:30am and Husband has rustled us all out of bed to ‘beat the traffic’ on the way to the farm. In the midst of us all stumbling about, the kids still manage to check the new rule’s parameters - can they play the Xbox at the farm? Does that count? Can they use the devices in the car? How long can they play their devices at the farm?
That’s a no, kids. Same rules apply.
So far we are all too tired to argue. Husband is threatening a MacDonalds’ breakfast, that no one likes except him.
First failure - I’ve just bargained with the kids. They can have their hour in the car instead of at 4pm. Weirdly Mr 12 doesn’t want his. Miss 8 is also not using hers. Mr 10 used his for approximately 10 minutes.
Mr 12 just puked. Into a paper bag. Which leaked. Everywhere.
Kids arrived at the farm in one piece. All our friends arrived too with their kids in tow. They have all been jumping non stop on the trampoline and we’ve had surprisingly little whinging. Our friends are graciously accepting our new technology rules as well, because my kids are like magnets whenever a device is nearby.
4pm came and went. No devices were asked for.
Distraction is a very effective tool Here’s hoping it lasts!
