DUELING IPHONES...
*please note...this post may contain language unsuitable for children ;)
ok...i'll admit it...i became "that mom" during our recent trip to florida. i reached a point (toward the end of the trip at least) where i said...fuck it...let these kids do whatever will keep them quiet! hey...at that point, i was just looking for a little peace and quiet on vacation :)
prior to heading to FL, i had ONE kid's game on my phone....during the course of the week, i added FIVE more...ALL for jacob! one of the games is an animal memory/matching game. i figured things had reached a high point, when he started asking "i play animal game now?" upon waking up in the morning! seriously kid...what'd you dream about playing the animal game, making that the first words out of your mouth in the morning?!?! not only that, but jacob had started demanding to play on the iphone! he would SCREAM for the iphone! OMG...what kind of fucking monster had i created! i decided i couldn't cut him off cold turkey before our flight home. after all, that iphone could be the only thing keeping him quiet on the LONG 2.5 hour journey! so...i gave in...and fed the addiction. i know....i'm an enabler!
and let me tell ya something....it's a good thing....because that stupid animal game (along with others) kept him quite content on the way home...and i'm sure it kept everyone else around us happy too :)
you'll be proud (maybe?) to know that upon returning home, i slowly weaned jacob from the iphone! now...if i could just get him addicted to the concept of toilet training!?!?
