Tv
I usually let the kids watch netflix in the morning while I shower, get dressed and do the dishes. Yesterday they turned it on too early. I called them to come eat breakfast... They glanced at me then back at their show without moving... So instead of yelling, I thought I'd do something new. I went and got ready and started on my chores. By 11am they came to me saying they were starving. I told them they could have a drink but that they'd have to wait for lunch because I'd already asked them to come for breakfast and they didn't do it. Ada and Evelyn took it well, our Sam started obsessing. He whined for a half hour before I told him to go to bed. Ironic thing? We were only half hour away from eating lunch by that point. Maybe they'll come next time I call for breakfast.
