So Much To Do.......So Little Time

How do you allot equal time to all the things that have to be done in a day? In a teen's world, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday seem to be really what matters most and what all they can do and see during that time. What about Monday through Friday? School, schoolwork, various household chores, and sport activities need to be dealt with so that there's enough time to get it all done. I don't believe in all homework, every night with nothing else to do. I think that a teen needs to have time allowed for homework, time for some rest, and time to have some sport activities on the side. We have a horse, so we try and go out to ride about 4 times a week, 3 times during the weekday. I also allow my daughter to come in and get a much-needed snack before hounding her about her homework. Telephone time, well, that's well deserved once most of the other things are done.Publish Post

Talking On The Phone

Sometimes, it's way too much. I know, I know, when I was a teen, I did the same thing too....but today you've not only got the telephone, but you have a cell phone and text messaging. You've got aol messenger and myspace.com. My darling daughter, it's okay to use the phone and talk to your friends, but there are times in life, especially after you come from school, that you must put that phone to rest long enough to do your homework for school. There's dinner too, not to mention, picking your clothes up off the floor !!!! Let's not make using the phone all afternoon and night a "bad" choice. I know you want to keep your electronics, so try giving the poor phone a little bit of rest, at least until after the homework, dinner and shower is done. After all, homework is a very important part of grades in your school and I know you have to get it done.
