When I was a teenager I met up with my friends and I never seemed to be at home. I know times have changed and our teenagers are keeping in touch with their friends in a different way but my 2 children just don't seem to want to go anywhere - just sit in their stuffy bedrooms and watch ipads etc.
When I ask them to help out around the house they're always sooo tired! It just seems so dull - maybe I'm just missing them spending time with me - they're 12 and 14 yrs. I do occasionally have a gadget ban just to force them out of their boxes and they are way more pleasant. Am I being mean?
