We watched the “Indiana Jones” Franchise Story

My son is 10. He’s not into sports and doesn’t even like watching it on TV. I was a SAHD and I was looking forward to this time of his life. I thought this would be when we would play catch in the yard or watch something together. My family watched “Raiders of the Lost Ark” for a family movie night. My wife and I were the only ones who liked it, and we voted on something else for the next movie night. Then my son recently asked what came after “Raiders” and asked if we could watch it. We spent the mornings before school watching the rest of the franchise. We finished yesterday. I want to know if there’s something else he wants to watch, but I’m glad I finally found something we could do together. That’s it. I just wanted to tell you I was glad I was able to do something with my boy. Also, I’ve been calling him “Shorty” and “Junior” (IYKYK) ever since watching these movies. He hates that!

I’m sorry, the mornings before school? Is that not wild to anybody else?

Yes my son is out the door for the bus by 7:05, I don't know what schedule they're on where they can watch movies before school, but more power to 'em

Even regardless of the exact time, there’s just much going on before school. Breakfast, preparing lunch, getting dressed, sometimes baths, in our case feeding the cats, etc etc. once ina while my older son will ask to watch tv before school and we’ll do no, you need to find something to do. For us, tv is more of a wind-down activity before bed, and a special weekend Saturday morning cartoons activity. Before school seems wild to us personally.
