[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 552317, member: 8045"] Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 2:48 pm** *Post subject: Weekend question! We have a very tireding situation at the moment! My oldest son, 9 yrs, is struggling to keep himself occupied during weekends. We have started to write down a day schedule that worked a bit... But he wants me or his dad to entertain him or spend alone time with just him....he has plenty of techno, lego, art stuff...you name it! MP3 player, books, exct. He gets bored easily and lack imagination and creative planning. Even when we help him plan and organize an activity, he doesnt want to do it alone....we need to partisipate! Both me and my husband is very tired and frustrated after yet another exausting weekend. It seems as if he is jelous if we spend any time together or even talk to his little brother. His little brother is starting to act out now because oldest always wants his way, when we go somewhere, it must be where he wants to go otherwise he sulks and makes it misrable for all. He chooses the activities, he chooses the restaurants, exct. It feels as if he is dictating all and every thing! Yes, I know we mustn't give in , but its not nice to have a sulky, grumpy, tearfull, angry person arround......But I gues maybe thats the way to go? How and what do you do to occupy your kids and keep every one happy during weekends or holidays? He doesnt have enough friends to entertain him....we need to be his friends! And no, there isnt somewhere we can drop him to stay while we do something else..... [/QUOTE]
