Currently hosting family from abroad. I love my niece/nephew so much, I really really really do but they can sometimes present with some bratiness.
They are allowed limited screens. As in not a lot.
They were raking my tablet so ibhat to put a lock on the screen. Sometimes I do unlock it and give them some play on it but now I am sick of it so much.
The other night after one of their sessions I went to close down the screen and turn it off to see that they gained access to temu ads and some russian and too.
They didn't buy anything.
Then from yesterday and today there has been three times where my tablet was nearly dropped out of their hands while they are playing. These are not small children. They are older kids.
Not only that playing it until the battey is low.
Enough is enough now for me. These are emy buttons being pushed good, hard and proper.
My tablet is not a toy. I don't even use it for playing games. I use it for reading and I also have to read amlot of work documents on it.
The child is asking it's own tablet and apparantly there is a plan to buy one at some stage. At this stage though, they need to get them their own tablet and leave mine alone.
They want to play games and I am so tempted to deleted all of the games on my tablet. It's not a toy. It's just the near drops. 3 near drops over the past 24 hours. Not only that the tablet comes with a stylus that is always being lost and it's not me that's losing it.
Any advice.
Will I just start telling them no. Maybe lie to them and consistently tell them the battery is dead. Maybe delete games on it. It leaves it in a safe place in my work until they go away?
