My children have been off school 1 week and 2 days, they have so far spent every day "chilling" on the sofa and playing Xbox with friends.
The bickering has got worse and worse until today I marched in and turned it off and yoke them both to go outside.
But they're bored, there's nothing to do, no ones around (we have no local kids) etc etc etc.
I'm fed up of them being entertained by screen alone, there's no where local to go that doesn't cost ££££ r they've deemed babyish or boring so I've told them they can make their own entertainment until it's time to pick DS3 up from holiday club.
They're 9 and 11 (v.nearly 10 and 12) and I'm fed up of them moping and moaning about the house expecting to be spoon fed entertainment or screen time.
For what its worth DS1 has a scout camp 4 days this week and tomorrow they're both off out with our community support team for the afternoon.
I've been declared the meanest mum in the world and DS1 had muttered that it's akin to child abuse
