everyone i know seems to have endless lists of ' activities' to keep their child entertained. All very nice and all, and we will do a few things... but mostly i sort of think its ' down time' and they should be allowed to do what they want to do?
DD got up, got dressed and has been outside all day with next doors boy. Dens have been built, clubs organised and rules witten. Weeding has happened!!! water fights and trainging the dog for the circus... They have plans of what they want to do tomorrow and the next day and im quite happy to leave them to it. Shes 7.
I just remember being younger and having the feeling of not having to do anything, or go anywhere and having all the time in the world. I think its nice...
or, am i just a lazy parent?
