I mean if you have relatives over and your kids are 10 and over, regardless of gender, they should be polite hosts/guests, present, attentive during conversations, and attempt to be inquisitive. Otherwise, what's the big deal if it's a day off and they're playing in front of a screen most of the time, especially of the weather is bad? No different than husband watching football all day.

Now being behind closed doors all day... regardless if he or she needs to masturbate once or twice...is a bit of a red flag IMO.

Mine has been holed up in his room today since breakfast. Either chatting with the "love of my life" bethany or jerking off....

Almost to the T this is what my 12 yr old did as well - he played outside by himself a bit, too.

Teenage boys are awesome. I love seeing them emerging into their adult selves!

Two friends showed up late morning. I left to get BIL at the airport (FIL stayed with kids) and when I got home 4 hours later there were two more boys with them in the kitchen. They were pretty stinky so I think they were actually out in the backyard playing soccer quite a bit.

Played video games with friends, worked on a science project, went out to a movie with the family, and now is back to playing videogames with his friends.

Mine came to school with me today and helped my students do a Thanksgiving project. He chose this over staying home and playing video games. He has his moments.

My eighth grader has two homework assignments due, a project, a paper, and a test all at some point next week. His words: "You know what, I am just going to do this all today so I don't have to worry about anything the rest of the weekend and I'll be able to have fun."

I'm not sure where this foreign, non-procrastinating specimen came from- but he certainly didn't get it from me...

He helped dh cut up and haul a fallen tree in the backyard, made an apple pie and a pumpkin pie with his sister, and played on the Xbox with friends.

That's sounds so awesome!

Mine played video games for hours- friends out of town - it's going to be a long couple of days!
