So we buy and are given all these toys for the kids and what do they play with? Coat hangers and empty boxes.
I have a cold at the moment and can bearly bring myself to cook meals let alone anything else. I need the boys to entertain themselves for longer during the day. But instead of playing with their toys (which we have way too many of) they play with the clean washing I haven't put away, boxes unpacked and packed, coat hangers and are constantly in and out of the pantry for food. I am having to constantly have arguments over snacks they can and can't have.
The tv works for my 4 yo for a while and only for about 15 minutes at a time with my 2 yo. So why do we have all these toys if they hardly ever play with them?! I think I will have to seriously consider reducing the amount of toys again ( I thought I got rid of heaps before we moved).
If anyone reading this has an idea of how to entertain kids when you are sick please share.
Well off I go to see what they are in to now! |
