Thanks myturn. I think the set timing is probably a great idea, then they will know that I definitely spent time with them, lol. My older two are at school now, so some days' it's tough to get in proper one on one time with them, but most days we do.

I just feel like it seems that they feel so ripped off, like they never get what they want, when in my reality, all I feel like I am doing is giving to them.They do entertain themselves sometimes, though mostly play with each other, or other wise they're nagging me for sometime, be that food, or my time and attention. After these recent school holidays, I think I just feel like all they did/do is whine about being bored and or hungry!
