I caved and went against my better judgement and all my kids got kindles, well that was ok. It just consumed their every minute of everyday. Then we caved and allowed our daughter to get a cell phone. Harmless right? WRONG! It was all she wanted to do, and that social media it even scares the daylights out of me at times. Like when someone sends you a friend request one FB and you have no mutual friends and they "live" a million miles away. My family has always told me I look on the worst side of everything and that I'm scared of my own shadow but I like to think of it as allows weighing what could or could not happen. Ok back to my blogging. So all was merry and well until I realized I had electronic robots. Nothing matter, except that phone or kindle. Then poof they were gone. They think I'm the meanest mom ever! But I'm trying to make them see the reason I took them.1. Read your Bible and talk with the Lord
2. Each of you have a beautiful imagination use it!
3. Look out that window at the beautiful world that God create just for you, go play and explore.
4. Ride a bike. My most favorite childhood memories is riding a bike.
5. Board games yes I said it grab and game and sit down with the family and make memories.
6. I'll play you in a game of Mario maybe once a week ( I'm trying not to have them addicted to gaming systems now)
7. That subject your struggling in study more.
8. Sports ( get out there and so your best and be part of a team!)
So the whole going against my better judgement and struggle for weeks with thinking I'm such a horrible parent for taking what I had gave them, actually helped me! My kids my not see it now but I hope that one day they will know it was all out of love. After all there is some scary stuff on the World Wide Web that I don't want my kids stumbling on. Call me crazy if you want. Happy Saturday and God Bless!
