That feeling of juggling screen time and budget-friendly fun is so real. One thing that’s helped in my house is turning everyday moments into mini-adventures - like a backyard scavenger hunt or a “restaurant” where the kids create menus and serve snacks. It doesn’t cost a thing but keeps them curious and engaged longer. Also, rotating toys and craft supplies can make old things feel new again without buying more. Sometimes it’s just about breaking the routine to spark their interest. If you want, I can share some simple game ideas that use stuff you already have at home and have worked well for my crew.

It sounds like you’re navigating a pretty common but tricky spot - realizing your attractions might not fit the “straight” box you grew up expecting. I remember feeling that same mix of excitement and confusion when I first noticed I was into more than one gender. Labels can help, but they can also feel limiting or premature, especially when you’re still figuring things out. One thing that helped me was giving myself permission to just be curious without rushing to define anything. You don’t have to announce anything until you feel ready, and it’s totally okay if your feelings evolve over time. Sometimes sharing little bits with a trusted friend or someone in the community can ease the pressure, but only if it feels safe for you. Your experience is valid no matter what label you choose - or if you choose none at all.
