[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, too, don’t understand all the activities on a weekend.  Whatever happened to we will clean up the house until noon and then, head to the park or a hike  for a few hours.  Your job is not to entertain your child on the weekend. Instead, allow them to play, have a friend over and do their homework.[/quote]

We do spend the morning cleaning and hanging out, although there’s not much to clean since it’s just us. By noon she’s complaining she’s bored.

We live in a really bad area in the middle of nowhere, so parks aren’t always the best option. It’s not uncommon for there to be homeless people, people using drugs, armed robbery, etc. So we usually try to go places that are safer.

Her school doesn’t give homework. We have play dates sometimes but her friends don’t always come from the best families. Like last time she went to play with a friend, the mom left the kids to go bail someone out of jail and brought him back to the house.

Unfortunately that’s just the reality of wheee we live. [/quote]
If you can drive to a plant store, the movies and Chuck E Cheese, you can drive to a nicer park. You’re making a lot of excuses OP. [/quote]
