By plugged in I mean modern technology.</P> <P>I had my granddaughters today (will be having them 3 days a week this summer AND look forward to it). But I said to them today, whats with being plugged in?</P> <P>Examples; !4 yr old- on the cell texting (just about all day-except when eating), 12 yr old- online talking to school friends via video chat. 8 yr old (shes a bit better about it will play with her dolls and some games but also on Wii alot)..lol.</P> <P>When DH got home from work, I said well, lets go to the park and check out the pond/ducks, swings etc and take a walk. OK they said that sounds FUN. So we go to the park. 8 yr old checks out the ducks and goes on the playground stuff and her and I walk around the park. 14 yr old and 12 yr old plop down on a bench w DH and they BOTH look up stuff via the one cellphone.</P> <P>I dont want to be an old nag, but a cool grandmother, so I gave up and let them do what they wanted..(even though it was like 90 degrees and we could have stayed home in the AC.lol.).</P> <P>THANKFULLY they are all very thin and in good health or Id worry. And I know every other day they will be going to the pool to swim (im sure with technology waiting for them when they get OUT.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 03:15:03 GMT Shorty2U 2012-06-12T03:15:03Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Are-you-kids-and-or-grandkids-always-plugged-in/m-p/210918#M93604 <P>Are your kids and or grand kids always plugged in?
