Well it's Monday morning again. Now what does that mean to anyone who has kids and to add insult to injury ... teenage kids, they seem to be a special breed. Schools here are now going into the second week of the summer holidays and what's the first thing you hear most mornings but especially Mondays - that's right, "I'm bored...". The chance of it. Just imagine, no responsibility, no work, clock watching to be somewhere sometime. A nice thought.
Do you find yourself picking up every leaflet possible to find activities for them to do, enroling them in parachute jumping off the school roof, daytime activities etc just for a couple of hours of peace. But suggest they go outside in the nice warm weather and hang our with their friends and the reply you get back is " and do what ? "
So, is this just my disfunctional kids ? Were we like this at their age ( memory just failing right now ! ) If we were then I really feel sorry for my parents right now. It just seems if it doesn't have a tv screen attached to it or doesn't cost me a fortune then they don't want to know.
Sure I can't be the only one in this boat can I ? It's either the Titanic or a bad dream.

No traffic on the roads this morning. I got to work in record time, with the roads empty from the school run. Th eoffice is quiet, no phone calls, as everyone is squeezing they family holiday into that tiny summer break.
Oh don't you just love it. I guess I'm not making myself very popular here am I?

Have you tried looking here;
Ok so most things will be "sad" or "boring", but something on the list might interest them??

hmmm indeed, what a joy is being a single. :evil2:
Why don't you send them to some camp. I always got send to camp when i was young, and it was fun. it is a good chance for kids to meet new people, and it is very good for their future, as they will not be shy to talk to someone when they get older. (i do not make sence, do i? sorry

I got the little blighters till 3pm every day then I go to work.....
The list of events and stuff happening is good but if money is in short supply then there isnt a lot to do... :cry:
Poor you. It's better than 24/7 !
My other half ends up looking after them on his days off from work while I go to work. But yeh, evry minute you're out of the house it's like a stopwatch but with it counting in money not time. They kind of have a second sense to find things to spend money on :!:

In a way you are lucky, at least they are only spending money!!
Yesterday I spotted a son selling dad's car (because mummy doesn't like it) on a certain well known online auction site!! :giggle:
I guess neither dad or mum going to be too happy about that method of increasing pocket money.

Oh its beautiful isnt it? My normal 45 minute drive to the office only took 18 minutes this morning!!
Sorry to all the moms dealing with the joy of "there's nothing to do - I'm so bored teenagers" My 13 year old ( who thinks he is 20 ) decided this year that he wanted to go live with his dad for a while so this is my first summer of freedom. ( i love my son so don't read negative into that
)

I still have to put up with the little "angels" at night though :x

Not sure if it’s a sign of the times here or what, but to be honest, when I was a kid I could not wait till the school holidays. I was never in, always out doing stuff and loving every minute of it. You hear stories now of kids not looking forward to them because of the boredom factor.
Two of my three girls are always outside playing, with or without me. I suppose it helps as I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I remember the first times when they wanted to play outside, I used to watch them constantly. Not any more, as I know that I can trust them not to misbehave to badly.
Now, the oldest (14) she is more of a dilemma, as 14 year old girls just do not play, unless of course they forget themselves once in a while and remember that they are still a kid. This year I finally persuaded her to use her pushbike to visit her friends. Of course 14yr old girls don’t do pushbikes, especially not if father has a car. I was crapping myself the first time she rode the 3 miles to her friend’s house. So much so I followed in the car, just to make sure she would be ok.
One week of this, she has persuaded all her mates to dust of their bikes and they go everywhere as a group, she is now never in.
As they all have mobile phones, as long as they keep me updated about where they are and who they are with, I am comfortable.
I don’t think the PS2 has been used once yet (thank god)
