parentage issues

If only the kids had some real appreciation Julie. We had a great time yesterday , went to my Stepsons house for tea (which he cooked and very well ) and after that we played board games ! do you remember them, it was in the day before everyone in the house had a laptop, a smartphone , and a netbook. I can really imagine some of the kids of five years ago lecturing their kids with "when I grew up we used to have to share a computer "

we still play board games and cards. my 2 are 21 and 23 and love to play snakes and ladders oh and matthew is a great dominoes player his grandad taught him to play when he was about 5 they then moved onto saving pennies in a jar to gamble with (grandad really shows the lad some morals ) must admit to having a DS myself though. and gemma does prefer the paper version than the kindle

When the OH 's Grandma died , the only thing we fought for from the house (as the greedy family were involved) was a set of dominoes (that we bough originally) and an old cobbled up domino board that Grandad had made, simply because we spent hours round there on Sundays playing a game of doms with Grandma, and if the OH and me little un weren't involved we could even do a couple of runs of 5's and 3's, now thats partying

we play frustration in out house all the time (hate it though)

I love games like snakes and ladders, frustration, mouse trap. My kids love them too
