Do You Ever Have One Of Those Days?!

You call this venting! I can rather imagine a very indulgent and happy mother who’s just finished typing this and has got up to smother the little devil with kisses LOL How I remember those days when my own child was growing and to be very frank, you say its just one day, I wanted all days to have sleep hours forever LOL and the funniest thing is that when its adult time to sleep, these li’l devils are wide awake and when we want them to get up…OMG the tantrums and crankiness

I know how you feel. My daughter was acting like a middle child way before she was the middle child lol. She seemed to know exactly when to get into stuff especially after her brother was born. She knew that once i started feeding him, I couldn't come check on what she was doing for at least 15 minutes and she took full advantage of that time! She also realized my threats to get up and come after her were just threats because mommy wasn't going to drag her 9 month pregnant butt up off the couch lol.

Hello Ryanne I think every Mum has those Days now and again, specially when you are pregnant to lol and yes Kids know When my 2 where little oh goodness lol there was Days I felt like you lol but they are joy and treasure every minute, but yes also try and make a bit of me time, every Mum deserves that

hi ryanne you could end up with a christmas baby would that not be something. anyway you have the terrible twos to contend with in your very pregnant state.poor you.At least your kids will be close enough together to get along just fine once she is past the terrible twos. good luck and happy birthday to the little one waiting to be born.

Every parent of toddler has had one of those days. Perhaps the only solution would be to do like my daughter-in-law did and have your children 9 1/2 years apart.

I think every parent has those days. It doesn't mean that we love our children any less, but sometimes we need a break. Good luck with the new baby!

Oh I have those kind of days all the time. You are not alone. Now that most of the kids have grown up and left home, it is better. Now I just want to sleep all day and catch up on all that sleep I lost out on when the kids were little. They owe me some sleep. hehehe

My daughter is just 5 months old but her sleeping habits, or lack thereof, contributes to my lack of sleep. And I still have to go to work early the next day. There are times that I'd force her to sleep just so I can grab a few winks myself. I know my situation's not as hard as yours, but in a couple of years' time, I'll be experiencing that myself...

Hello Ryanne, Oh yea every parent has had one of those day(s) and any parent that says they have not are big fat liars LOL... I think part of the problem is is that so many parents wants to pretend like they can take it all on and never need a break, my kids are with me all the time as I am a stay at home mom so from the hours besides which they are in school from 8-3 they are here with me which I love because god only knows how much longer that will last but there is times when they stay at grandmas or a friends and I am just like Wow because for that night or part of the day my motor is able to slow for a bit but then after a little while I am like I am bored and I miss the kids but only because that is what I am used to because trust I enjoy the break too.... And yes kids are way smarter that i was at their ages, they will try stuff that I never would of thought or to be honest had the balls to try on my mom

Yes I use to have days like that when my son was young. I do not think there is any parent that have not had days when they wish the kids would sleep the day away so they could just relax.

Hello Ryanne I can understand when my children was small I remember days like this. I thank God I survived those days. I love my children too but am glad that they are all grown up and married and have their own families. I am happy I am past those child baring years.

yeah true, kids can diffidently challenge us in multitude of ways. however, in mellow times they are like angels whose life entirely depend on us. it slices to the deepest part of my heart when my daughter at 8yrs old learn to answer back to me. very expressive, very impatient at times, and very dependent to me. it challenges me and my whole being!

I know how you feel... I am Child care Worker.... I look after my two nieces..One is in school full time and the other one is 3 in a half and trust me I have one of those days a lot. My 3 in a half year old niece can push my buttons sometimes she thinks she can get away with things she is not suppose to do but I say No and she still tries to get a with it by telling her no she thinks is a joke.

hi. im happy for you that you'll be having your 2nd child. and though we love this bright and amazing kids we have, I would agree with you that sometimes, I want my own kid to just sleep all day. so I can rest and stop to look for myself also. Mothers like us, often lacks to give time for ourselves. maybe simply because our hands are always full. so yah, I would agree with you and I dont think there's nothing wrong with what we think. and I hope where not to be judge about that.lol. but during time of his hyperness and i just can't control him doing things, I just simply think, that this kid will grow up, and I would not see him do the same tricks he's doing right now, so I'd rather enjoy seeing his craziness and playfullness while it last.
