Moving
We are moving making a big, multi state move in a few days and so we are, of course, down to the wire getting everything packed. That means our son, who is five and has a lot of trouble playing alone, or really doing much at home alone, basically watched TV all day today. Like from breakfast to dinner with a break for lunch. It was like that for most of yesterday too although he did get out of the house for a play therapy appointment and some errands.
He is pretty happy with the screen time but I feel like a terrible parent. He has been asked to help a number of times but he doesn't really know what to do (and is not very interested in learning) and honestly, it's easier to get just get it done at this point. He is going a little stir crazy though and has a lot of energy with nowhere to go. Hopefully we'll have some time tomorrow to take a walk or hang out at least. It's also super hot and humid here so just sending him outside isn't an option, and he wouldn't really go without one of us out there.
Just venting about creating a situation where he ends up being more hyperactive, but it's necessary that we focus on packing.
Any tips?
