When I was growing up, I was outside.all.the.time and I fear that kids are relying too much on TV and other things (video games) and they don't always get that social interaction or just the experience. There's nothing wrong with expecting your child to pick up after himself/herself. It' just good practice! You're right though.. you can't really win. I'm so worried about when I have children and what new thing will be out there. I have the same view on TV and such as you do so I don’t think it’s lame or anything.

We have a lot to work on here. I wish that E would pick up his toys every night like S does but as it is now, it's an every day battle. "But, Mama, I can't pick up my toys, my hands are too small!" At least he's creative in his excuses. It doesn't help that our house is small and his bedroom is right off the living room and that he can literally stand in his doorway and watch tv (and has before, sitting on the floor playing and watching tv). But we do take the time to do school around 11am or so; so tv and play time are in the mornings, then school and lunch, then "nap." Go, Vixx, you're awesome. You’re not lame, you’re right!

You're teaching him right from wrong (if only other parents could do the same for their asbo-collecting offspring) and you're taking him to some great places and giving him lots of wonderful experiences; he has so many opportunities to use his imagination and explore the world around him. Having said that, the Ben 10 website is absolute shit. I’m not a parent so I don’t really have a frame of reference here, but I think you’re doing an amazing job with S.
