Lol - I do tend to offer the option of cleaning etc so that they'll chose another activity, but it is nice when you can suggest something that they get enthusiastic over. So far today they've now hunted down remote control cars and matching batteries/chargers so they'll be charged for another day and also out on the trampoline (couldn't be persuaded this morning)
End result - happier kids and less stressed mum!
Thanks everyone!

Ps - any new ideas do keep coming as I'm still going to make a 'pick a mix' of things to do

Hi all,
I reckon this would be a good post for the familes board, so I'll move it across.
My parents always used the housework gag...

I am glad I am not the only one with a trying child today!!
Mine ended up in the garden with a catapult aiming for anything that moved, including my best wind chimes:rolleyes:
He has also turned a couple of boxes into a house for a teddy. Thats much nicer.0 -
Thanks Squeaky - I hadn't spotted this board until after I'd posted (and I've been on these boards for months!!!!)

It's a bit like google earth (check that out aswell if you haven't already) but it's in 3d and you can chose which satelites you view from,and look at the stars and surface of mars.etc.I think most people,would enjoy it.0
