The fight against computer/video games is an endless battle. I start
out by standing next to them mimicing the sound of the keyboard
(clackity clackity clackity clackity). Then I move to
sarcasm: "Cool kids have human friends." Always ends the same way,
with me yelling "Off! Now!"
We keep them busy with sports music and CCD. I hate September to
June, because we are on a 7 day per week schedule (no joke). Each
day we have a kid going somewhere. We stop it all for the summer.
No comittments. Just go out and have fun.
As they are growing I know there is going to come a point when they
will be able to hang with their friends more than me (starting to
happen now), so I'm fitting in as much as I can right now. We are
at the point where when we go places as a family, my two older ones
are asking "Can't I just go over so and so's house until you guys
get back?" No. Get in the car.
My daughter is a teenager. I figure once she gets a license, I'm
toast. I make her hang with me now - like it or not.
She's usually pretty good about it once we get where we are going
and I pull the ipod out of her ear.
She's a great kid. So good she suckered us into having the 3 boys.
Thought they'd be as easy as her. As they say, NOT!
Still fun though.
