I wasn't a SAHM until I lost my job in September.  I realize how much I missed by working when my oldest (7 years) was little.

My youngest is 2 and I am soo tired of Doodlebops, Wonderpets, Dora, Lazy Town and anything on Noggin so I can relate.

at this point I hate Noggin, and only turn on the old cartoons like Huckleberry Hound and Tom and Jerry. For some reason I can stand those better. Probably because I was raised on them!

Yep Sassy. I'm praying for Kindergarten at this point. What is the deal with 3 being so much worse than 2? If I take one out of the equation, things usually calm down.

I am a SAHM to two girls, ages 6 and 3.  The 6 year old is now in 1st grade and the 3 year old just started part day preschool 4 days a week this year.  It's a nice little break during the day, but I've really enjoyed this winter break they've had, although I'm ready (and so are they) to go back.

My girls can go from being the best of friends to the worst of enemies within minutes.  It drives me crazy how they can torture each other.  I feel some days like I'm constantly putting out fires.   :crazy:

I only have one kid, but as a person who has two siblings, I can say usually two of us would gang up on the other and pick on her.  It's really a wonder the three of us managed to make it out alive!  Though, for the record, as adults we get along wonderfully...my sisters are my best friends!

My girls are the same way! It's insanity and some days I do feel like I'm going insane. One second they're hugging and sharing, playing quietly, the next they're fighting cats and dogs.

I'm glad for that reason that I have 2 boys and only 1 girl (who is enough pre-teen drama all by herself).... except, now my boys roll around on the floor playing "wrestling" (no we don't watch it on TV) or they literally run and bang into eachother crashing to the floor and then wrestling, and that one is called "football".  They've gotten so rough lately that I really thought one of them was semi-crying during this type of play the other day so I intervened, and they both told me "mom, we're just playing, it's OK".  I told them if they want to continue being so wild they're not allowed to tattle on the other guy if one gets hurt, b/c it's inevitable.    :mom:

Hi!  I'm a sahm too- my son will be 5 in may and my daughter will be 3 in april.  They play really well most of the time- but of course, have their moments of sibling rivalry and fighting over toys and such...but i wouldn't trade that for a JOB at all!

I love being a SAHM, and I feel blessed that we are able to do it! I also love that my husband wants me to be a SAHM.  We have a 9 y/o, 8 y/o (who attend school) and the youngest is 3. 

I work maybe 2 days a month substitute teaching to keep me sane...lol.  I know it sounds wierd but they aren't my kids...lol!


pink caddy you said..."yesterday they were fighting over a toy trumpet - so I jerked it out of their hands and threw it across the room so it hit the wall and broke. It felt soooo good."
 rofl  I threw a toy gun that the kids just had to have (my husband though) it broke and also put a hole in the wall.   :gah:  Well...since it happened when he was at work...I did a patch job and paint.  He never knew..  :hit8:

I wouldn't trade what I do for anything!
