Child led play

[allaboutevening]

Older primary kids. After family activities, sports clubs, an afternoon out etc, kids just need a little time to find their own fun at home. No screens/adults for a while. Decompress and unwind. The bickering is hard sometimes so am trying to tune some of it out.

DH needs busyness and constant things lined up. He struggles to relax and unwind in the day but AIBU to say the kids do need to at certain points?

Of course they need to.
screens off X amount of time before bed. They can entertain themselves at that age

Definitely. This is why i limit the number holiday clubs/activities i book, balanced by my own sanity. I find it hard esp as someone who feels it's "wrong" to ignore someone when they're talking to you. But sometimes you just have to, it's for their own good
