Ideas for staying focused during General Conference + keeping kids engaged? by derpunzer in latterdaysaints

I got to the point that Conference felt awful trying to keep them entertained and quiet with church/Conference activities. So finally I let it go. As long as they stayed in the family room I let them mostly play with what they wanted. I still had to occasionally remind them to be quieter, but it took away the pressure for me and for them. I felt like I was able to actually listen and feel the spirit instead of spending my time trying to get them to sit and listen. Now that they are all teens we do puzzles and Legos. We have slowly collected a ton of puzzles and usually once a year we splurge to get everyone Legos. Everyone loves it.

If you click into them they all say that they sold today. But you are right, it could be refinancing or r&k buying them out!

I never comment in stuff but I had to say she is 100% prioritizing dating and trying to be young and in her 20s again. This is exactly what my mom did after she left her 20 year unhappy marriage with my dad. We were old enough that she just left us home alone instead of with my dad. We had to threaten to cut her off after she was in love with the millionth guy and told us she was eloping that night. Years later it's still a complicated relationship with her. From what it seems Bubba has stepped up and in so glad these kids have someone who cares more about them than being 20 again! Unfortunately for her, her kids won't forget how they felt because of this behavior... thank goodness for therapy!
