Today I have a tongue-in-cheek parenting survey for you, dear reader.

My daughter (13) and son (12) begged me to let them go over to a friend’s house to play XBox and watch Disney shows like Good Luck Charlie and Dog with a Blog (which, I guess, is a thing dogs can do now).

Is it wrong that I mainly said yes in order to keep the vultures from swarming over the snacks I was bringing into the house, so that I could eat the first of the snacks?

Or is it pragmatic and wise, when dealing with ravenous teenagers?

Let me know what you think!
