Stressful

i just thought of another thing that you might do to help...Make one room in your home the playroom,only let them throw their toys around in that one room,make the other part of the hose off limits for the toys.Children are very smart and they will soon learn when they take a toy out into the house tell them No and make them take it back to their room.It might take a little telling them over and over but once they know the rules ,then they will do it...Also it would be great for you to form a nap time for your children..After lunch have a nap time for them...Example feed them lunch,then it is time to pick up their toys,teach them to pick them up and put them in a designated place,help them until they learn then ,its nap time...They will fuss and bicker but stick to it and make it a rule...After they fall asleep and are napping ,you can get a lot done in this time..try it thats what i did with my 5 children and it works,once they learn the system..

Well, my son doesn't really have any toys anymore because he had WAY too many toys and he would get them all out and not put them away so, he said to just throw them away because he didn't want them anymore. All of his toys are now in garbage bags put where he can't get them. My son is 4 and he doesn't usually take naps but, my daughter does take naps but, when she takes a nap if my son decides to take a nap I goto sleep also. I don't know it's really hard! I understand what you are saying but, it's really hard for me to do everything like that. I was a single mother at the age of 16 and then I had my daughter when I was 19. I can't really explain what I'm trying to say right now. I don't like being at home by myself with two children for 10-12 hours a day. I don't like being at home much at all actually so, I goto my moms house almost everyday.

I am very overwhelmed! My children are 4 1/2 and 21 months. My son is usually pretty good and he's the oldest but, he still doesn't really like his dad working so much though. My daughter is only 21 months but, she's very mouthy! I have never seen a little kid as young as her be mouthy but, she's very mouthy and she thinks she can do whatever she wants when her dad is not home. If she doesn't get her own way she screams bloody murder and it's a very high pitched scream. I think today I might get all of my laundry done and clean the bedrooms again. I do really need to try to get a routine going on everyday though. The only thing that is really planned during the day for the kids is going to bed at 9:00pm. It's been very hard for me with Randy getting this job because he's put in 62 hours already and this is his first whole week working. He ended up going to work again today so, it's just been difficult for me and the kids to get used to him working long hours almost everyday.
