DDs both having moody, shouty teary homework sessions after I'd suggested that they get started as we have a busy w/e looming.
Against my better judgement, they've been watching as it is much discussed at school etc..To be honest it is keeping them both up a little later than ideal and they've both had weeks of activities to attend etc..
I do think they are both just tired and hormonal, teen and pre-teen, but I'm bloody fed up with the drama and fancy starting my evening before 10pm (when show finishes).
AIBU to just call an early night? They will think I'm mean Grin

Yes, they probably will think you're mean. That's tough, I'd say! Enjoy your evening with a clear conscience.

To quote my DM: 'you are showing me you're tired'. Not a lady you wanted to be suspected of being tired around by kicking off if there was something you were hoping to watch on telly. Worked for years!

RumbleintheJungle - you must thank your Mother for me next time you see her. 'You are showing me you're tired' is going to be my new evening saying. Grin

' we treat you the way you behave. act sensibly and you can stay up, play us up and you go to bed' up to you dears. totally your choice.

Love....you are showing me you're tired!! That's fab, and a quicker way than saying what I did. I threatened and then they controlled their emotions and amazingly are working quietly.
Such a lot of that programme is repeated actions from the day before, I'll tell them they'll soon catch up!!

Told my DSC that they will thank me later for not allowing their minds to be warped and their IQs to be loweredSmile

Could you record and then they could get up and watch in the morning?

NicknameIncomplete · 04/12/2013 21:55

My dd wants to watch it but it is on too late. I think it should be on from 7-8pm.

I am usually ready for bed at 10 not just starting my evening. I say get them to bed & enjoy ur evening.
