A couple disagrees about how to structure weekend time. The household includes three children: one young teenager and two preteens. On weekend mornings without scheduled sports, the children go to the living room, turn on the TV and watch cartoons or other shows. The differing parental expectations create tension around structure, screen time, and routines. Addressing the issue involves establishing consistent family norms, negotiating limits on morning screen use, offering alternative activities, and agreeing on consequences and compromises to balance relaxation with intentional weekend planning.
