I always told my kids "only boring people get bored" then sent them outside to find something to do.

My kids have learned never to say that because it just means they are about to get a chore to do

We already did chores. 😑

Kids: "we already did chores." Me:

Even though I don't ever want to live on much acreage again because of how hard

Of course I can, but I'm trying to work.

I think the summer has got to be the most difficult time to work from home.

Invest a some time today - save yourself for the rest of the summer.

I have five kids 4-14

Well...if it's the 14 yr old, that's easy. If it's the 4 yr old, you're screwed.

Step #1 of every summer break for kids is to have them make an "I'm bored" list

That's a good idea. We will add that to the things they want to do this summer

Boredom is actually really healthy for kids. Forces them to get creative .

Very true. (But also hide the matches when your kids proclaim they are bored. 😉 )
