AIBU to think that for just half an hour a 9 and 11 year old could entertain themselves with the vast amount of things I have here at my home for them to do bearing in mind that I went out and bought games, art materials and such like especially for them as they were my oldest mindees?
The weather is lovely they could play outside there are plenty of garden games I have got for them, they could play a game, do some art, play on the computer, do any one of the hundred things they turned up with this morning but NO they are sat on my couch looking at me and saying I am bored what can we do now!
So far today I have taken them to the local gym for a play session on their equipment, let them help cook dinner which they asked to do! Played about 6 board games and helped do a puzzle AIBU to want 10 minutes sit down and a bit of peace. I know the answer is yes but I needed to rant so please ignore me I am hormonal and it doesn't help that keep saying haven't you got fat!!!

TBH dont think you are being unreasonable.

More than old enough to entertain theirselves while you have a cuppa/put feet up

They manage at school play time.

Give them a choice of playing in garden, playing game or sitting on sofa bored

Good grief woman! YANBU! Tell them, only boring people are boring and if they don't find something to do within the next 10 minutes, they can go and clean the bathroom and change the sheets on all the beds for you! That'll make them think about all the fab things you've got out for them to play with!
