Kids are driving me mad!

Oh, I hope you'll have a better day with your kids tomorrow. Having children around isn't easy. I hope instead of getting mad, enjoy being with them. Life is too short. One day, they will be leaving us. They will be on their own and we wish they haven't grown up yet. Happy myLotting!

I understand taking care of two kids is not an easy task, especially when two kids demand something from you at the same thing. I have a 3 and a half year old son, he is very energetic and really hard to put him to sleep even though he is very tired. Only until recently, I gave up "forcing" him to take a nap, and let him sleep early at night. This makes our life much easier. Also, at this age, I believe kids need a lot of outside play. So, I try to bring him to the park every day, or if I can't do so, I'll let him play in the front yard. Once his energy is released, he is easier to calm down. Besides outside play, I also think of some activities for him to do indoor, or he will also think of some games by himself. I also let him involve in some household chores, to keep him busy and happy. I really think some kids or all kids need to move a lot.

aw, enjoy then while they are little. i have two lazy teenaged daughters in my house today. school starts in three weeks from today and our oldest is going off to college but i cannot seem to motivate her to do stuff today.

Hi friend, good to know about your kids, convey my b'day wishes to your elder son. I too have 2 sons and struggle a lot with them, it is really hard to raise our kids, we must suffer a lot in the begging stage, after growing up and getting maturity, they will take care about us

Oh how I miss those days! I have four children and all are out except one. The days when my kids were little were the best days of my life! Hang on to all those days...the good and the no so good. You will treasure them one day. I had many days just as you spoke of, just make sure to always make time for yourself and your partner. It will help keep you grounded and knowing you will have a moment or even day to yourself. It will give you something to look forward to during those crazy times. My son was watching kids about the same age the other day and driving him crazy with all the energy so he decided to make a game up of racing...over and over again. The kids loved it and the older ones loved to be timed. Eventually they were ready to sit down and watch a movie...and fall asleep. Good luck to you, young mother. Your children will be gone in a blink of an eye. You will be wishing for all that craziness again.
