supervising from the couch: Saturday Morning Matinee

Saturday Morning Matinee

This week was family week at school, with a special screening of Megamind this morning. Rob didn't realize that the movie was at 10:00 a.m., conflicting with his church leadership meeting, so we gave his ticket to Jonas and traded Ainsley for Samantha. The movie got twelve thumbs up from our group, and it was way more fun than our usual Saturday morning jobs!

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
