Debi Gutierrez - The Mad Mom In The Minivan

Whether you have young kids or pre-teens, it’s not that hard to entertain them and you don’t have to break the bank trying to keep them entertained. Expensive trips to the movies, the arcade or mall… because they’re “bored” is a money trap. You’ll never have enough money to keep up with their wants and there will always be something better, faster, cooler that you’ll be expected to buy. If you have a reader, read with them. If you have an artist, setup a station and paint with them. If you have a future engineer, build cities with Legos. All they really want is to spend time with you. Unless, of course, you have a teen. In that case you’re pretty much on your own. And when I say you’re on your own what I mean is that you should pretend you don’t exist in the presence of your teen.
