[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 391899"] I usually get to a point after dinner (usually around 7:00 pm) and I tell the kids, "Okay, if you want to watch t.v time to go up to your rooms." I get to a point where I'm done and I don't want to listen to Cartoon Network anymore. I think that taking some time for yourself, even if it's just an hour, if not only good for you, but I think it's essential! She will get used to not being right next to you every minute of every day. She's 11 and really should not want to be in your hip pocket. Does she have any friends that can come over after they get home from school or on the weekends? I know that she can't do anything strenous, but maybe they could sit and play a board game or something like that. Something where she is not relying on you to be her sole source of entertainment and comfort. Pam [/QUOTE]
