8669/21588Phoebe has been given homework for her new school, which seems a bit mean since she hasn't even got there yet. So after the kids had had a fair share of ipads and TV, I said it was time to get off screens and for her to have a crack at her summer holiday schoolwork.Phoebe put down her phone, but Ernie was still on his iPad. She went into adult mode and told him to get off his screen."Who put you in charge?" I asked. "Was it mum going upstairs?""Yes,"Phoebe agreed without laughing at my clever satire.
