I disagree with you
I don’t know; I downloaded it and it’s literally just endless short vids of teenagers doing dumb lip-synch vids. It’s disturbing
we had the lengthy drive to OBX and my wife is in charge of downloading stuff to the ipad for the kiddo. we get downt he road and she fires up the ipad and says "why can't i see the shows i downloaded?"
"what do you mean?
"i downloaded a bunch of stuff on my phone last night but it's not showing up on the ipad?"
I believe in the power of women and all, but when it comes to matters of iphones, ipads, TVs, cable, remote controls...buddy, that's where us men just have to acknowledge that certain things are our responsibilities.
where on OBX were you at?
lol truth. god bless the true single parents.
I find I'm much better at rolling with the punches when it's all unavoidable/unpredictable stuff (like bed peeing, not that I have to deal with that but just that kind of thing in general). What kills me and wears me down quickly with older kids is repeating the same shit over and over and over (not that you don't with little kids); at some point a 10yr old should just close the door behind him, or hang up his wet towel/swimsuit, or throw away his otter pop wrapper. I'm not doing it for you, and I'm getting tired of reminding you to do it.
That, and dealing with bad attitudes about something that shouldn't be a surprise (yes, you only get 30min of screen time right now... just like yesterday, and the day before). Those are the things that get me.
Plus, girl is at an age where she's just testing boundaries in general and trying to negotiate EVERYTHING. It's tiring. Part of me is happy that she's independently thinking and not just accepting everything at face value... but sometimes I wish she was more easily led.
