Do you force days out on your kids?

Don’t worry, I’m not forcing them to, I remember too well being dragged around National Trust properties. I tried to sneak a “day out” plan into the Easter break and you’d have thought I was evil!
Im determined to come up with something though. I might just have to throw a fancy meal into the plan to win them over.

Yes as a previous poster my parents didn’t take me out much due to being a farmers daughter and they were always busy. Now I’ve got preteen sporty active girls who are actually like puppies and need exercise and taking out. They might winge initially but once we’re there at the national trust place/the museum/the park/the walk they forget about it and get on with it. And actually enjoy it .Most of the time I don’t get too much winging, it’s the enforced family walk that is often the more difficult sell (normally as my husband tries to make it as long as possible with a few hills thrown in)
