...do something as a family.? I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas and this summer staying at home has been pretty boring,
this morning my mom was upset because she says she's always cleaning, and i asked her if she wanted to get out and do something as a family, is there anything around us that we can do? any places to go?
i know we should know this, but we have already been to most things,
anyways please list any ideas you have to do here please and thank you!
 
Your Mom is upset because "she is always cleaning??" She can't go out gallivanting around, she has work to do. Work that evidently upsets her..........................duh. Who wants to go out to do
family stuff' to just come home to a house that needs to be cleaned.
Maybe, instead of watching your Mom get depressed because 'summer is here' and every one's lifestyle has changed but hers, you can help her have 'time' to enjoy with the family.
You could help her with the cleaning. Takes less time when there is help. Make it a routine during the summer to help your Mom. Make sure the house is clean when you leave and when you go to bed. Ask your Mom what she would like to do now that she has more free time from cleaning. Spend some time with other family members recalling the times you can remember when your Mom was having a good time and laughing. All family members need to pitch in during the summer months when school is out to help Mom's everywhere to not feel the burden of family members home 24/7 leaving their messes behind them. Be a STAR in your family and help your Mom, then she won't have any excuse to not go on family outings.
As far as places to go...........................new things you've never done is always exciting. Make arrangements to 'tour' local manufactures and see how something is made. Similar to a 'field trip'. Good luck.
 
You should play guess a sketch... use one of those huge notepads and crayola markers and everyone takes a turn at drawing and guessing..

or you could make a salsa together... just put everything in a food processor ... fresh tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cilantro, cucumber, lemon juice.... YUM!

also, try asking anyone with kids if you and your mom could watch them for the night and see what they think... one idea is just to teach them something like painting or flying a kite.

Hope this helps!
