Anger for what...video games?

The other players in the game went after you and you alone. Therefore, you un-install the game. Now, no one else in the house can play this game. I suggest a couple days or at least a break from games for a bit. Oh my, that was a terrible idea, we can just reinstall the game it only takes seconds!... Sign in to see full entry.

Education station..it sounded good...

I wanted to setup an Education Station in our home because it seems the "desk" is associated with gaming. Well that didn't happen. I get no respect. Why? Well their dad only shows me respect when he's in the mood or around family and strangers. So I think they get the not listening and disrespect... Sign in to see full entry.

Winter Break...

Christmas break...When we were in school we had Santa come visit us and everything. Of course we had to sing 2 songs every morning too. I know several of my classmates withdrew from school because we had so many "holidays". I remember moving from up north back down south. Sitting in class and it... Sign in to see full entry.

What a world that would be...

I have been struggling with truth and consequences lately. It doesn't seem to be a "thing" anymore. The children these days are "talked" to and that is their lesson. Huh, wonder how that's working? Well, I have been instructed that if I don't have anything nice to say not to say anything at all. Oh,... Sign in to see full entry.

I am taking notes...

I express my concerns again. The school called about another headache. When I expressed my concerns about absences and both kids missing a lot of school, a nerve must have been struck because they became very defensive. I began writing it down a couple weeks ago when I disagreed with one of the kids... Sign in to see full entry.

"Hey Mom, Wanna do Crafts?"

SON:Hey Mom you wanna do some crafts? ME:HECK YEAH! (2 minutes later: Apron on: check; supplies: check; table setup: check; everything I think we need: check!) I am all the time asking him to do this type of thing with me and he is all the time asking me to play video games. Neither one of us really... Sign in to see full entry.

Exam is over...come get me?

On my last errand of the day when I receive a text saying my freshman is wanting a ride home from school. I knew it was a possibility however what I do not understand is what I later find out. First, I was told it was due to not feeling well, but they want to try to tough it out. I didn't ask too... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a field trip I don't have to go...

You learn on field trips too. I understand you may not want to go on them. They happen for a reason. You go to the "media" center for a reason. You have PE, and Music for a reason. Why are we giving them the option to go on field trips now. When did this happen? I remember just last year counting... Sign in to see full entry.

Well rounded kids, is that too much to ask? Apparently...

December 6 th, 2018 4:19pm I was thinking that by giving my youngest child (aged 10) the opportunity to play games after homework during the school week, as a reward for working hard. Or perhaps no different than watching a couple shows on television. The first couple years of elementary school they... Sign in to see full entry.

Education isn't what it used to be...

Is it what is once was? Are was really focusing on what really is important? Do the children today know how to take care of themselves if they find themselves in a life and death situation outside of a cellphone/touchscreen/joystick/keyboard? I am not sure I could anymore, if I am being honest here. Sign in to see full entry.
