"Drinks over for dinner" - that's hilarious!!
We imposed an "electronic free" weekend last weekend. No playstation, no iPod, no computer. (it makes me vomit into my mouth just a little when I publicize the fact that my children have all of these objects).
The teenager thought it would kill him, the 10 year old screamed and squawked for a while, but they got over themselves and had the best weekend ever. Nerf gun hide and seek, riding boogie boards in the creek behind our house in the pouring rain, Monopoly, Operation, Twister etc.
We even had drinks over for dinner with their kids and the same happened. We only heard from them when they were hungry.
It was THE most relaxed weekend we've had in ages.
Sorry, that was supposed to read "we even had FRIENDS over for dinner"! :)
