Relevant details. I have 3 step kids and their bio dad passed a few years ago. My wife and I went out of town Thursday afternoon and got back Monday afternoon. My mother, a math teacher, watched them for us.
We asked our 12 year old (Peter) how the weekend one and he said it was fun but kind of boring. We asked why and he said
“It was just so quiet. John (18yo big bro) had work and your mom was grading papers all weekend. I’d take off my headphones and all I could hear was typing. It was weird.”
My mom had to grade papers. Peter grew up the youngest of 3 and we are very active parents. He is not used to having to entertain himself. He seemed shocked when I laughed and told him that was basically my whole childhood as an only child.
