[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m coming from a place that was dark a few months ago. I was an overachiever. For many years. For a long time, this resulted in strict TV watching. Which is good for them. But I was run ragged doing too much for my children. The alternative at the time was complete laziness, when I couldn’t keep up with my high standards. And at those times they watched too much TV. Now, I have been through a transformation where I’m not taking too much on my shoulders. The kids are doing more work and they are loving it. It’s almost like they were thirsty for an equal share in our family. I am meeting my life, I’m not resenting the older kids (never resented the littlest one), and they’re living their life. The thing that I have it figured out, is now that I am allowing them to be more independent—I’m saying yes to more play dates. I’m saying yes to more of what they want to do. But, that’s including too much screen time....[/quote]
