This is absolutely fantastic and I applaud you for doing it
We are a relatively technology-free home. We have the tv and computer, but that's about it. DH & I hate video games, we've never owned one, never intend on owning one either. I'm surprised the amount of friends DD1 has that already have kids computers (at the age of 3!).
I figured we grew up without the need of it all, and we turned out alright I'm sure our kids will too.
Well done, I admire your resolve. I predict the whinging will get worse before it gets better . But I"m sure it *will* get better. I look forward to hearing how the week unfolds.
Inertia, what an amazing team you and your hubby are. I applaud your tenacity to make a stand to your children that this behaviour is unacceptable in your eyes. Ultimately it is to their benefit even though they wont realise it at the time.
I remember the times when I was a kid and we had the basics. We never complained and whinged that we didn't have this and that. We were told we wanted it we had to earn the cash to get it.
I hear you babe ! i get the same thing going on here drives me to the rum can almost every night lol lol i see your oldest is going to be a teenager soon you may find you are getting a bit of hormonal tantrums not sure if you are thinking the same but i found evening primrose helps with mood swings ( even at this age DD 1 was 8 when it started for her) there is also a book Princess ***** face syndrome give it a read it will really open your eyes and give you some help with coping Good luck !!!!
that is fantastic totally something id do...ive just done that with ps,ds and wii games to ds5 and only two days the difference is great, m glad ur not just whinging but being to soft to stick to it
Will be watching to see how you go. I think I have a few kids in need of the same
