[QUOTE="donna723, post: 161631, member: 1883"] You know, this may be a very old fashioned solution, but back in the Dark Ages when I was a kid, we quickly learned not to ever complain to our mother that we were bored and had nothing to do. She'd [I]find[/I] us something to do and usually we didn't like it. She had a lot to do and if we complained of being bored we'd soon find ourselves dusting the living room, folding laundry, outside sweeping the sidewalks, or standing on a chair doing dishes! She didn't consider herself to be the "Entertainment Committee" and she didn't think that it was her job to keep us amused. It didn't take us long to figure out things to do on our own if we were bored, even if it was just going outside to play, drawing pictures, or reading a library book! Beats the heck out of doing the dishes or dusting! [/QUOTE]
