[quote=Anonymous]We’ve instituted Whatever Wednesdays to get us through the next few sucky winter months with nothing to look forward to. After school and homework is done, you can do whatever you want (my kids otherwise do not have access to screens, so this may not appeal to your kids if they do). You can then eat whatever you want for dinner wherever you want to. Obviously there are limits (you can’t decide you want to go to Disney World or have dinner at a steakhouse), but just the ability to have one afternoon over which you have complete control on hump day seems to help (we tried it out the two weeks before Christmas break). I will say though that my kids are doing school in person, so they’re not on screens during the day. Perhaps there’s a way to tweak this idea if you don’t want them on screen after doing DL all day. Good luck. This sucks. Just try to find something small for you all to look forward to. [/quote]
