You know just occasionally when his sister is being a mardy little milk monster? Ceebeebies works hard for his attention, occasionally he takes note to dance to zingzillas or point out something then he's off back at full pelt again. Others seem to bloody manage it, I don't even watch tv myself and only bought it for him to watch occasionally. Just a little relaxing time in between playgroup etc would be nice, or before bed. Fed up of books and tidying train sets, trying to persuade him...

So how bad a mum am I????

Haha! My friend has 2 boys and she rations their TV time because they'd sit there all day like zombies. I bloody wish! We have frequently been heard to say to DS ( now 3.11) "DS please sit down and watch the TV". He's never done it for more than 10 mins. When his wee sister was a baby it was a nightmare. You have my sympathies Smile.

I was hoping for the zombie effect, works at school like a dream.
