As Parents we ground our children and at times have we not all wished we could be grounded too, just be home all day. Let me show you how.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • cleaning supplies
  • candles
  • bubble bath
  • bottle of wine
  • good movie
  1. Step 1

    The first step is to get your cleaning supplies and clean whatever room you are going to occupy for the day and evening. We make our kids clean when they are grounded so we should do the same. At least it helps to set the mood for a relaxing evening

  2. Step 2
     

    Now you can set out your candles and light them, some in the living room and some in your bathroom.

  3. Step 3

    Now it the time to get in your bath, add bubbles to running water, step in and relax.

  4. Step 4

    When you are done with your bath, it is time for a glass of wine and a good movie. Relax and enjoy.

  5. Step 5

    Remember you are grounded, so make sure all of the running around has been done beforehand. You cannot do any more errands or play taxi driver. If you really want to do this right, do not answer the phone, unless the kids are calling

Tips & Warnings
  • If your children are older, see if they can spend the night at a friends house.
  • If they are younger ask a family member to watch them or get a babysitter.
