| I am a stay at home mom of 3 children all under the age of 4. I can't help it but wonder, how am I suppose to wake up everyday and look forward to what I do everyday over and over again. My children are draining me. I am having a hard time finding things to do with them that is fun for all of us. I have to chase a 1 year old around, hold my 4 month old, and keep an eye on my crazy 4 year old. Any help please!!!!!?????? |

| You shouldn't feel like this is a curse. It is a blessing that you get to stay at home with your children. Many moms would love to be in your position. Whenever you feel this way just think how lucky you are and live each day like it is your last b/c you never know what life will bring you. I am on the same boat as you, except before I was married I was a single mom trying to make ends meet. I only saw my daughter in the mornings to feed her breakfast, and at night about 30 minutes before bedtime for the first year and a half of her life. I worked between 45-50 hours a week and was taking 16 hours of college a week. I had to do what I had to do to put food on the table for her and a roof over her head. Now, I am due with my 3rd child in 2 weeks, I have a 20 month old, and a 4 year old that I stay at home with day in and day out. I am originally from another state about 15 hours away, I have no friends here, and therefore never have a babysitter to get out of the house. So for the past 2 years I have not been away from my children and my husband. Alls I am saying is that you really should embrace what you do have. You are very blessed to be in this situation. If you need to get a babysitter to get out of the house for awhile or look up online different activities to do in the area for your family. Do some arts and crafts, or play at the park, or walk the mall or neighborhood, or play games, or let them wrestle around together. Good luck:) |
