3 kids and a lot of stress

I think you should get your own free day. like, go to a spa, get a massage, take a long, warm bubble bath with candles or something. just chill, im not a mom, but one of my neices has been dumped on me by my sister ever since kaylee was born, so I consider her my daughter since I take care of her 24/7. hmm… just put every one down for a nap and go take a bubble bath and lister to music or something. thats what I usually do.if the kids make me mad, I usually lay them down for a nap and kick back and watch a rilly funny movie. it makes me feel better, but I think going to a spa, or getting a back massage would be the best way to get away from it all. you could alsolike, have someone baby sit them for a few days and you and your husband can go on a vacation to relax and get away from everything. if its a longer vacation you will start to miss your kids, and when you get back you will be glad to be with them, and youd have more fun and more patience with them. that usually happens with me.

I am in the same boat as you are!!! I only have 2 but my 4 year old can be a hellion at times. I just put her in daycare for 3 days a week so that I could relax a little. My son is a year and so calm and sweet so he is fine at home. But my daughter has all this pent up energy and daycare helps. If you call your local daycares I am sure some would have discounts for more than one child attending and if they dont go a full week it is usually cheaper. My husband is in the Army and right now I dont get to see him during the week so I have no one to give me a break. So the daycare works out great!!! When she is with me though we try and go to the park. Running really wears her out and she is ready for a long nap when we get home so I get a little personal time there. Hope I helped! Good luck and God Bless!

I take bubble baths for stress. It really help me to relax =] listen to some good music, and have your favorite drink while enjoying it. It makes everything better.

ignore these jerks! ITS AN ADVICE WEBSITE. why be on it if your going to be total idiots.

why not put them in a summer cap for some space? day care? youth clubs? get a babysitter so you have some space? go on holiday with your husband and leave them with someone you trust, I know you love your kids, but every mom needs a break once I a while!

How old are they? atleast once a week have your husband watch them, and go have some free time. Go out for a day with friends, family, or even by yourself. Try to do something for yourself, such as: make up shopping, getting nails done, you the girly thing. Your kids and your man will be more than happy to give you some YOU time. You are the Queen of that house and you deserve it. Have fun!

I understand 100% what you are saying. You love your kids but need a break to re-energize back up from all that is takes raising a family. I would suggest taking a lot of baths (like I do) and trying to find days to take your kids to Mcdonalds or somewhere they can play and you can just sit and relax. I think most if not all moms feel this way. It is great to stay home with your children but can be very stressful and draining not to mention not appreciated that much :) I hope this helps. I only stay at home with my 3 year old and I get in real need of a break, I cannot imagine with 3.
