So today swimming lesson this morning, home for lunch and a bit of play on their on then 3 hours at a farm where they have bouncy stuff, tractors etc with a picnic. All this is literally minutes from our house so it's not been lots of sitting in the car and long journeys.
The SECOND we get in the car to come home DD (nearly 5) starts about the bloody TV, "can I watch TV" "can I watch Paw Patrol" etc etc. This has just started a few weeks ago and then she just goes on and ON and ON asking.
The 2 year old doesn't ask and DD never used to so I presume partly it's an age thing but it drives me crazy.
I thought last week about getting rid of the TV anyway because we don't even watch it but DH said that was a bit extreme.
I have always let them have 30 minutes a day, unless it's a film or slobbing/chilling at Christmas. DH and I are thinking maybe we are being too harsh now and that's what has led to the incessant asking, even when we have done more interesting stuff.
The asking is driving me crazy but I am struggling in my mind with me giving her more TV per day, especially when it's 27 degrees and she should be in the garden.
Are we being too harsh ? What do other people do ? I am sick of her asking and I have told her that numerous times :( she ignores and carries on asking anyway
