Works for Me Wednesday
I spent last weekend at a youth retreat in Pennsylvania. Whew, I am still getting back into the groove after being gone on Monday too. Menus will start again next week. We are eating mostly freezer meals this week, which I love.
My Works For Me Wednesday today is no TV on weekdays for the kids. We don't have a huge home, so if one person is watching TV, it effects the whole family. There were always squabbles over what to watch, we don't have cable so the choices are limited. Kids being pokey in the morning. Homework was a battle at times too, with TV on in the background.
We tried time limits for each kid, waiting till homework was done etc. Nothing really worked well, and I was always the bad guy.
So, we just decided to just give TV up during the week. It worked wonderfully. There are no gray areas, its just off. They know on Friday after school they can watch TV. We are currently watching a lot of Antenna TV, Father Knows Best, Dennis the Menace etc. It's great!
We do allow for some exceptions. When someone is home sick, if the Colts are on Monday night football, when a storm is headed our way etc. Other than that, it's off.
Joe and I do watch TV after the kids go to bed some.
Our home is so much more peaceful now. Works for me!
