[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To preserve my sanity as a parent, I am setting some mental health boundaries with my 5 and 8 year olds and I urge you to do it, too. My rules are: 1. No responding to non urgent requests before I have my first cup of coffee. No conversations about plans for our day until I have two cups of coffee and my clothes are on. 2. Sometimes I will say, I’m talked out. I don’t want to talk anymore. I love you and you can talk to me but I’m not going to respond. They’re okay with this. 3. 2-3 hours of screens a day. They have to wear headphones 4. I have Bose noise cancelling headphones that I wear sometimes to listen to my audio book. They take the edge off. This is how I am surviving as an introvert with two extroverted kids. Your 9 year olds needs some screen time and some time to herself to read in her room. She is old enough to do that. [/quote] You are a horrible parent because you think only of yourself.[/quote]
