Car pool idea that one day it's you, next day someone else, etc. Best to always have a schedule set up that you and your child can mutually agree on. His times for Xbox are..... Mom's time for writing is....... This time is for us...... Written passes to allow an interruption that has to be turned in so he manages his time wisely if it will interfere with your time. Ex: He knows that mom writes between 9am and 11am but he HAS to go with Tom to the park and it's the ONLY time he can go. He hands off his pass to you and it leaves him with 5 for the rest of the summer. Once passes are gone, no more interuptions. Same for you. Then he feels he has "equal" power to you changing his scheduled plans. Go over it weekly and make sure it's working for everyone involved. Just some ideas. We love summer with our kids but we miss "our" alone time. Good luck :)Jacquie T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07470782155956619047noreply@blogger.com
