So a few days back i mentioned having a stressful weekend, where i also went to pick up the kids from the next city to spend the rest of their holiday with us. Fast-forward to a few days back, i had to make a little compromise. I begged them to let me handle my work for a few hours ( though the youngest one still doesn't follow this rule ) then by 6pm they can come to my room for movies. For the past three days now they have been coming to my room for a movie each night. The first night was George of the Jungle, Tarzan, and yesterday it was Aladdin. I made some popcorn and i was able to set the phone in a way that no one had to hold it, but they can easily be on the bed and watch. And once the movie is over, they start coming out of the room like they just left their private Cinema room

Poor kids! They have to watch the movies on your phone? You could bring them with you when you come over to play cards/board games with me. We have all kinds of movies on disk and one television dedicated to the DVD player. I can also get new movies on my laptop for them. See what you're missing by not coming over?

@eLdav1s Now you're just making it sound like you don't want to come play cards with me.

@eLdav1s It's not easy trying to work with small children around. It's hard for them to understand that their parent needs to be doing 'stuff'.
