This is about weekends/school holidays. I am starting to be concerned with their addiction and lack of other interest. If not TV then tablet, if not tablet then phone or computer. That's all they are interested in and they feel "entitled" to it. If I don't allow, then they are bored or squabble with each other to the point of fighting. DS1 (6) does occasionally grab a book or a pen, but not enough. DS2 (4) just follows DS1 or plays with cars, but far too little. We go out but mainly for 2-3 hours (to parks), then we do some crafts with them but I mostly here "boring!" and do most of crafts by myself, with them running away at midway.
Though my main concern is lack of chores/duties for them... DS2 does some chores (makes bed, cleans sink, sorts out shoes). DS1 does occasional washing up. Some helping with cooking. I would like them to have regular chores but don't know how to arrange it. I feel like I am failing as if I don't actively engaged then their time feels wasted and I feel very bad about it. On the other hand I have so much to do in the house when I am off (I work full-time) I cannot spend the whole day entertaining the kids.
Must mention that H is on laptop / TV ALL THE TIME and is a really bad example of "doing nothing". I would throw out TV if I was on my own. I hate H but that is completely different subject.
My question is what do your kids do at home when not at school, what chores do they have, and how much screen time they are allowed?
