Lighthearted before anyone gets a bee in their bonnet.

I make up fun names to encourage my kids to do stuff they don’t necessarily want to do.

I have a tradition of Friday night Film night on a Friday where they get to pick a film each week for us to watch as a family.

I’m extending it this week to get them to watch films I know they will like, but are stubbornly refusing to watch on film night.

So far I have

Sunday Screen Time
Monday Movie Moment
Tuesday Telly Time
Wednesday….help!!
Thursday Tube Time
Friday Film Night
Saturday…

I knew someone would say something. Just knew it

FGS…I want to watch a film with my kids. It’s something I know they would enjoy. I don’t make them watch WW1 documentary films. It’s a family thing.

I can’t afford to take them out to places. I can’t get about on my own (I need a wheelchair and someone to push me). This is how I spend time with my children

Sounds fun!

Wednesday watch night sounds good?

Saturday second screening? So they pick their fave to watch again?

BrutusMcDogface · 29/05/2023 11:23

I like Watch Something Wednesday. Maybe Thrilling Thursday and watch an exciting film that day!

how old are your kids? It sounds like a lovely thing to do but my kids would need their phones taken off them so they weren’t constantly distracted by them! 🙄

Saturday scary movie night?

BrutusMcDogface · 29/05/2023 11:25

8 and 10 are lovely ages. Close enough in age to like similar stuff, too. Enjoy 😊

Thanks. I do

They are opposite sexes so on a normal week, on a Saturday or Sunday, I’ll sometimes watch a film with just the one. Such as a something girly with dd, or something that only ds would like

Thanks Grin

Weve just finished our film. It was one dd was adamant she didn’t want to watch, wasn’t her thing. I knew she would love it which is why I got her to watch it and she did

Chronicles of Narnia
