1. Your 6 year old spills a drink. Do you clean it up or do you make them?
-They clean it up smile My 5 year old goes and gets the t towel if she spills her water when getting it out of the front of the fridge.
2. Your 16 year old wants to sleep over their mates house for a movie night. There will be friends of the opposite sex there- but there will be parents apparently. Are they allowed to go and if so are they allowed to stay the night?
- Oooooo.....They can go with a curfew of 11pm but not sleep over
3. Your 14 year old has to study with an assigned partner for science. You know the kid they have to study with is a sh!thead and you don't trust them as far as you can throw them. Do you let your child go to their house to study, do you let them study at your house or do you make them study at school or at a library, etc?
- Study at our house, library etc. Not his house.
4. Your 5 year old has to do a reader for school every night. About two weeks in, he/she gets really upset when you get the reader out. Do you make them do the reader?
- These questions are really hard!!! Have a break and maybe rewrite the reader on the computer so its all on one page with clip art pics! smile
5. Your 7 year old really, really, really wants the latest popular toy that isn't exactly cheap. You aren't sure whether they are going to like this toy by the time their birthday comes up, and Christmas is even longer away. They have been saving every cent they come across, but are only half way. Do you pay the rest for it, or come to a compromise- or too bad, keep saving, junior.
- Come to a compromise...somehow!
6. You find out that your 7 year old was watching Family Guy at a friends sleep over. The parents hadn't asked you if that was okay. Do you care?
- Yes I would
7. You find out your 6 year old was watching The Hunger Games at their older cousins house. Do you care?
- Yes
8. Your 5 year old watched Gremlins at a friends house and he is now having nightmares and wetting the bed. What do you do?
- Help them through why they are scared
9. Your 4 year old wants to play Peppa Pig on the Wii- only she/he isn't quite getting the concept of the game and is continually asking you to help. You just...cant be bothered, anymore.... My goodness, you couldn't be bothered half an hour ago when the madness started. What do you do?
- Set a time for when we do it
10. You mum/ nan/ MIL/ insert something here makes a comment out of the room (but you can still hear- they don't realise) to your child that they needn't ever worry about anything because they will always be there, even if mummy and daddy aren't willing to pick up their game. What. Do. You. Do?.....
- Talk to the person about it without child present and let them know that isn't appropriate.
Good game!!!!!! Who knows if my answers will be different by the time I actually have a teenager...
