How to Get Your Children to Leave You Alone
(without resorting to screentime)
(because that's too easy, that's why; so quit whining and listen to me)
1.
Hide in your bedroom closet (bring your knitting and a good book, of
course); make sure to have a mini-fridge in there well-stocked with the
libation of your choice and a bag of chocolate or two. Don't forget the Ott-Lite!
2. Announce to the kids that it is time to clean house and...and...hey! Where'd they go?! Works like magic...
3.
Tell them you have hidden candy all over the house and they have to
find it. This technique can buy you a lot of time; but it is not for
the weak of heart, as the children tend to start crying when they
(finally) realize you lied to them.
4. Send them outside to play; but remember to lock the door behind them. The little sneaks are always trying to get back inside, and they're not even bleeding! What's up with that, anyway?
