Hi. So, I am going to be going back to Columbus in a few days and I have been staying at my parents for 3 months becasue they are helping me take care of my 2 month old. I have a 2 and a half daughter who is VERY naughty. I am also b-feeding my daughter. My question is, how does everyone manage their time with 2 kids? Especially young ones? And cleaning and preparing food, and even eating? I also have a dog who I have to take out but don't want to until my husband comes back from work. I am a stay at home mom and I love it although it gets frustrating when my daughter doesn't eat. She is also very underweight and a picky eater. I need advice on a schedule and also what to feed my two and a half year old. Also, I would like to try to get in some learning time with her. Please tell me what you have done if you have this problem. Thanks.

When my son was little, the quality time that I spent with my daughter was the time while Paul was sleeping. It was during that time that we would work on learning and when I was able to have one on one time with her. Then, when she would have quiet time in the afternoon while Paul was sleeping, that was the time that I would work on preparing dinner and general cleaning in the house. I never found that I struggled to get things done with two small children.

Nurturing children is one of the most difficult task a woman has. She has to plan and act accordingly when it comes to looking after two children. Most of the children are poor eaters and it is a hard time to feed. I say this with my personal experience as I look after my two and half year old grand daughter who is a fussy eater and the entire day is spent running after her. At times i feel i should leave her hungry so that she will cooperate later. But all in vain. Regarding learning sessions put her on to the computer with some online alphabets or cd's with rhymes which fascinate them and they also learn faster, when you are with your younger daughter.

I worked full time and took care of my two kids as well, pretty much the same age group. You have to pre-plan and catch some rest while do as well.
It will not be easy but you have to do the best you can. Before you know it they grow up so fast and you will wonder, how did I do it and did.
Good luck to you!
