I know i'm not the only one, but staying at home is driving me crazy I have 3 children and I love them and my husband dearly but there's only so much you can do at home all day. Once I cook and clean there's nothing much left. my kids arent much slobs because I make them clean up after themselves so not much cleaning for me to do. Once homework is done and they're relaxed we talk then we all settle down to go to bed, there's nothing left i'm soooooooooo bored. during the day i cant stand t.v. so what else is there to do? One of the reasons i'm staying home is because i had spine surgery so that limits the things i can do even more. I'm curious to know what other moms do at home all day. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No. You are not the only one that is for sure. I used to work outside of the home once in a while during my marriage but now I stay at home with my five year old son. He is not yet in kindergarten yet until next year.
It definitely can get pretty boring but I do find something to do if I can. Watching television is something that I do and I like to surf the net in between caring for my son and cleaning.
I usually like to clean anyway but after a while I run out of things to clean or put it off until another day.
That is good that your kids are able to clean up after themselves so you don't have much to clean. That is a rarity!lol I just have my young son at home with me and I am forty years old. I would like to go to college one day perhaps after he gets a little older.
If I had any suggestions for you I would probably say to maybe find some games on the computer to share with each of your children during the day. Something that isn't going to be too stressful on your back.
I sure hope you make a good recovery. That spine surgery really must limit you as you say. That had to be a struggle to go through after surgery.
Hopefully you will be back on your feet better in no time.
