As great as this sounds, prepare for a backlash! I remember when I was a kid we went to stay in a static caravan during the Olympics. My aunt tried to enforce a no TV rule.
Of all the people, it was my Gran who fought valiantly for our right to watch the Olympics! She was our saviour, and how we rejoiced! (Poor auntie)
Bring it on. I spent last summer telling her to get off the damned ipad / computer / smart phone. 4.5 hectares of woods, fields, lake, a brand new trampoline, a bike, village fetes, tree houses, tree swings, new friends, swimming and youtube minecraft videos are more interesting.
The weaning commenced a couple of weeks ago, so it won't be total cold turkey. If she still insists on sulking, then so be it.
Funny thing is she never watches TV, so that's still available - although in French
Um.. it was the activities I was liking, not the kids! You can keep the kids. I may even pay you to vacate the area while I enjoy kids activities without any kids around!
Has anyone mentioned Lazer shooting games or paintball? There are a couple of paintball places out in the NT - one in the Gold Coast and one in Yuen Long near the Tai Tong jockey club....
Kam Tin Country Club is a nice place to take the kids
