M a FTWM, so meaning I have to cater all time to them at the same time after dinner every day.. it is not ez to dedicate time for each of them, n if i were to b revising with my elder one, my 2 girls will come to the room n require my attention, n if i close the door, worst.. they will b knocking at the door..

If i haf everyone sit at the table to do revising, it will end up DD2 will b disturbing DS or DD1, or other ways.. it is NVR possible to do anyting.. :slapshead:

what about your helper? Can she help in keeping DD2 occupied?

DD1 and DD2 are hopeless at studying together so I coach different subjects when I am teaching them and send them to the room to do their homework so that i can focus on teaching...

Kissgurami.. Tat one ah.. I GAVE UP HOPE.. now i m monitoring her on other tings also.. HEADACHES.. sigh..

As for me, I am not a TV addict. I accompany my kids to sleep and after they have done so and I cannot sleep, I play Angry Birds. The TV programs are rather lousy.

Not mediacorp programmes la. Very boring and usually prior season. I watch the lastest season online

You don't watch TV at all? Wow, that's a good habit!

Actually I know spending time chasing drama is a total waste of time but I can't help it. That's why it's called an addiction :evil:

For me, I only watch Korean drama. I am a fan of Korean drama, same for my dd1 who loves k-pop and she is also a tv addict.

As my dd1 will be going to P1 next yr, I will refrain her from watching tv around 8-9.30pm in order for her to finish her homework or revision on her spelling fr her enrichment classes. Prior to bedtime, I will only allow her to watch cartoon network for half an hour.

I really salute anyone who don't watch tv. Now I hv to switch on education vcd for my dd2 to be entertained while I bz with housework.
