I have two DS, Reception and Year 2.
When they come home from school it's usually tele, dinner at the table, maybe homework or reading, and then a bit more tele whilst DH finishes work in the study and I clear up. Bath, books bed.
I want to get out of the cycle of them coming in and just watching TV, I know they're both tired at the end of the day and a bit of tele is fine, but I don't like that's all they seem to do in the evening.
Occasionally they will cook with me, but they get home before me and I've often had the slow cooker on / have pre made something to heat up, so not a lot of involvement needed.
Do others set up toys etc? Maybe I ought to do that, colouring books, pens, Lego etc. feel like we are in a bit of a rut
