Ryan and I have decided that our kids are going to be unplugged from technology for a little while. I know, the horror. We are the meanest parents in the world and we don't even care. Tyler is the one complaining the loudest about it. He thinks we're out to get him and kill any kind of fun he may ever have. I told him he was absolutely right and before I do anything, I make sure it will destroy his fun. It's the only thing that makes me truly happy.
We've decided that they're going to do things the way they were done in the olden days. (When we were kids.) Their TV and computer time is going to be drastically cut. They are going to read and play outside a little more. So they can, you know, use their brains and imagination. Oh yeah, and they're going to clean up ALL of the messes they made yesterday before they can do anything else. They're really loving life right now.

This just seems like a punishment for you! :)
I have done the same thing. And trust me--they get used to it.
You know I'm a BIG fan of this. ;-)
Way to go mom!
Terrible, terrible mother. :)
Isn't it fun to be the meanest mom in the world? My kids love this, too, as I just cut all of their media out. They were pretty darn mad--but they've been a lot better since then.
One hour of reading everyday and they have to have outside play time. How funny is that... HAVE to. I loved being outside as a kid. In fact in the summer I was only inside during daylight to use the bathroom, eat and drink.
