To watch as much Buffy the vampire slayer and charmed with my 10 year old dd

Introduced it to her the other day and she loves both of them. I’m very chuffed she does.

We’ve been watching two episodes of buffy and one of charmed a day. She loves them and I’m so pleased. Pity ds doesn’t feel the same way but I don’t care.

Gonna introduce her to firefly aswell to see if we get a clean sweep Grin

Oh it's so good introducing our kids to our beloved shows isn't it. And Buddy and Charmed are SOLID choices. One of my favourite things in literally my whole life ever was watching the Terminator films with my son. That joy of him experiencing them for the first time was just awesome.
Charmed is my favourite comfort TV. Piper and Leo forever 😍

It’s so good watching things that you love with the kids. I know they are old stuff. Dd keeps commenting on the size of the phones and computers but it’s still worth watching

Aw I really hope this happens with my DDs one day (too young for now), it sounds lovely.

Me and my teenage daughter watch shows together - we've done Greys Anatomy, ER (still a few seasons left), House and a bunch of others and are now watching The Good Doctor (yes, my daughter feels she has a medical degree by proxy).
We also watched Party of Five together and Buffy when she was a bit younger. Have to say Buffy has been tarnished by all the reports of a toxic set.

Spent one summer holiday watching every single episode of Poirot with my daughter, that was a great summer.
Watched some of the programmes and films from my childhood with her, she loved Boy Meets World in particular. Think after we've finished watching Modern Family we might have to watch Buffy. Wish Xena was on any of our streaming sites to watch, that's one I'd love to introduce DD to.

I watched buffy with dd1 but when we finished she wasn't quite old enough for Angel (some of the themes were more adult). We previously had watched once upon a time (which I'm now watching with dd2!)

We then moved onto stranger things, umbrella academy, the mortal instruments on Netflix.

We are now nearly finished supernatural (been slow going as only able to watch 1 or 2 episodes a night!)

I'm not sure what's next, possibly Angel or she suggested Lucifer! Amongst all this we've been watching a few horror films which she loves!!

Oooo Once Upon A Time is a good shout. I really like that!

Disney + has all the episodes. Plus the series once upon a time in wonderland which I've never seen. We couldn't find anywhere to watch it when I watched it originally with dd1!

Is that on Netflix? We are currently rotating streaming services so I'm not paying for all of them at the same time so currently we just have amazon & disney +

My plans this summer are to -

-Pull out the cooker and scrub it like crazy. And scrub round the floor where cooker was as its such a small space to get into!

-Find a house! Its been so hard trying to find something suitable for my family with good links to public transport and nearby their schools or at least near very good schools with ofsted rating. I am literally on rightmove every single time I breastfeed the baby!

-have the new toilet and new flooring installed next week.

-was planning to do the whole The Middle series with the kids, but the way Axl speaks to his parents makes me very irritated! And I don't want them hearing that! So I guess I will be the one watching it when they return to school!
Instead find fun movies on sky! Sick to death of Harry Potter!

-try and do at least 3 outings each week.

  • try and do an activity indoors everyday, such as arts and craft, pizza making, puzzle day, board games day, baking, treasure hunt, play minecraft on PlayStation!.
I have 6 kids from ages 6m to 15y, so a lot to keep busy!

-carpet clean the whole house!

  • go to the most amazing museum which is set up like an old time village and you can actually go in the houses and shops! They also have bikes and scooters and farm toys out and sheep! Its amazing and really big, with even an old style park!...
