This is what I do to my kids when they are driving me crazy:
I force them to watch TV. Sometimes I just need the life to be sucked out of them so I can get a few moments of peace and quiet and avoid further messes, arguments, noise, and nagging. It gets to the point where I would rather hear Dora shouting than 5-6 real life voices shouting in my background.
They sat through one kid's show episode and ditched this poor guy 30 minutes later for more entertaining computer games.
Mine usually start taking all the cushions off the couches and other irritating tv watching habits.
ReplyDeleteThe television is a great tool to use, when you need to get something accomplished as well. It is the only way I get a shower every day.
