Personally, I feel that siblings are biological best-friends for life! I can understand your sense of "freedom", coming into the preschool years, having a four year old myself. I would strongly encourage you to really embrace the preschool years (...
When my oldest was a newborn (now he's 12) another newbie mom and I decided to meet once a week at McDonald's for "playgroup". The reality is, nobody had to clean up before or after someone else had been there, we had time to gab with a girlfriend...
I think you are providing your children with more than enough external experiences to social and learn to do work within group situations (not to mention taking authority from other adults). I think all of us seem to have this glorified idea that ...
It is a continually cycle. My twin girls are six and my son will soon be five. If any one of the three is sick, grumpy, tired, or just in a leave me alone mood then the whole balance of the house is thrown off. Things have definitely improved sinc...
thanks:) It's been a few weeks now and it's MUCH better. In hindsight, we had a combo of me/hubby returning from a week away, coupled w/each child being sick including myself with sinus infection. All of this did not help;), but we're doing better...
I definitely hear you on 'morphing' into short tempered mom by the end of the day. It hasn't happened now for a few days, (shwew!), but I'm going to laugh next time it does:)
For me its not losing my temper, more about losing my sense of humor.. I rarely yell at the top of my voice. But in a way I feel that what I do is worse: Towards the end of the day as the wrestling gets crazier, the baby gets crankier and my patie...
I've been tested more by my 3 year old twins this past week, than in their entire little existence. Is it their age? Or because we're ALL sick and don't have our normal wits about us? ugh. Also, does juiceboxjungle have some sort of nanny cam in m...
I love this weeks video on juiceboxjungle! Despite it hitting a little too close to home for me this week, I find comfort knowing I'm not the only one out there who loses it w/the kidlets from time to time!
I think my kids really benefit from playing with their siblings most of the time to be honest. Playdates are good once or twice a week, but if they have too many they are exhausted and over excited. Although they fight like cats and dogs, it is no...
Actually, Anne Marie as I think back,the boys got along better with each other when they were the only twins! Now that we have two sets,and the babies are just so different than the boys were. I think that's a part of their fighting problem.They'l...
My boys don't get along as well as it sounds yours do,but the second set,they seem to play ogether much better.He seems to rely on her being there for him.I hadn't really done the play date thing either,as not many people had littlies like mine ar...
